While we do have an open trade here on Bitcoin from 34,000, ive had a few people ask me about trading it at these levels. Our next targets on the trade setup are 48 and 51500 from the smaller patterns but there is the large pattern here that i still like because of its confluence with my leading diagonal thesis.
You could argue it would safer to play the breakout rather than entering from these levels after a substantial move up, but entering here makes the trade less susceptible to stop hunts if the breakout happens in our favor.
I would look at the swing low at 40,500 as a partial decline, and use that as a strategic stop loss level. One could set up limit orders lower as well in case we do see the typical false move before the rally up. This would give you a better cost basis and your lower entrys would cut back on risk as well. In the same fashion, one could add buy stops above the breakout zone to catch it before the major move begins.
