Bitcoin (BTCUSD): New ATH Is In Sight Long

Bitcoin / U.S. dollarBitstamp

Description

Previously, we opened a short position @8170, which was supported by a bearish triangle breakout:

The price dropped 3.6% and reversed @7890 support. Depending on timing, some traders took a profit or closed out @breakeven. We now have to adjust to market conditions and get ready to go long BTC for new ATH.

9000 is fine to take profit on this trade:

Trade closed manually

9300.
The market is raging, and I want to share with you a valuable trading tip. If you want to maximize profit during such strong trending moves, think about applying Parabolic SAR indicator as your trailing stop loss level. That is, you adjust your stop order manually every hour according to this indy. Works great.

There is some issues with your waveanalaysis, but ignoring that, I believe that we are currently hovering at the top of the channel that has held since the beginning of the year.

If we are indeed consolidating here to break that ceiling, I believe the next move up would trigger a pretty huge rally - perhaps a final bit of euphoria leading up to CME release. We have been hovering here for 4-5 days now. That's an insanely long amount of time for BTC to be at such low volatility. I think that if we move up, it will be something for those who are short to remember for the rest of their lives.

@JackMush, what are the issues, sir? I paid attention to labeling waves correctly.
That flat was indeed devastating.

There is a flag in formation on 4H short, isn´t there?
Ralebr
Better view on 1H.
Ralebr
Excuse me, "4H chart".
Nickonomics
@Ralebr, a classic flag starts with a sharp move. There is no such move.
Nickonomics
@Ralebr, We could regard 4-5 wave segment as a sharp move up, but then the base of the flag is too large.

@Nickonomics, ok, thanks, following...
