Bitcoin (BTC/XBT) Daily Long&Short Trade Setups 2021/03/11

BINANCE:BTCUSDT   Bitcoin / TetherUS
Market Overview
  • Price Action: Bitcoin continues to slowly move up in price after the recent rally and reached as high as $57.4K, a mere $1K from the AllTimeHigh @ $58.4K. This is a very important level to watch as we either form a double top here and have a large correction or we have a breakout, in which case we will likely pump to $70-80K relatively quickly, similar to the pump we had in January.
  • Patterns: N/A
  • Areas of Interest: The area(s) of interest for me are the 200MAs @ $54.6-55K and the highs @ $57.4K. Once price reaches one of these areas, I will monitor for entry confirmations. If the entry confirmations are aligned, I will take a trade and share the my trade in real time. Of course, it is possible we just pump to ATH of $58K directly from here, in which case we will be looking for trading opportunities at that level.

Trade Setups
Below are the potential trade setups that I would be interested in trading:

Long Trade Setup #1: Retest and Continuation (200MAs)
1. Price Action: Price needs to move back down to the 200MAs, currently projected to be @ $54.6-55K by the time price reaches it, and bounce back up.
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: Bullish candlestick pattern, above average volume, MACD bottoming

Long Trade Setup #2: Breakout and Continuation
1. Price Action: Price breaks above and falls back down to $57.4 and bounce back up.
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: Bullish candlestick pattern, above average volume, MACD bottoming

Short Trade Setup #1: False Breakout
1. Price Action: Price breaks above and then falls below the high @ $57.4, forming a bull trap
2. Trade Entry Confirmations: A breakout candlestick followed by a breakdown candlestick, above average volume on both breakout candle and breakdown candle, MACD topping out
