Breakout in ETHXBT, Expected Rally to 0.08
Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 15-Min Chart. The cryptocurrency cross Ethereum/Bitcoin (ETHXBT) appears to be in an descending triangle setup where support held around the 0.07085 price level. The downward trend line acts as the hypotenuse of the triangle, illustrated in red on the chart. The cryptocross broke out from the downward trend line and is moving higher. Expectations are for ETHXBT to rally towards 0.08. A negation of the setup would be if ETHXBT declines towards 0.0716.
Technical Indicators
There has been a positive crossover on the Awesome Oscillator (AO) recently. This was complemented by a positive crossover on the KST. XBT is trading above a long term MA (495-SMA). A strategy around this MA in the 15-Min timeframe has a profit factor of 2.54.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market, with a stop loss at 0.0716 and a target of 0.08. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 1.33.
