IMX → Immutable Descending Wedge Bullish Pattern. Time to Long?
IMX has been in a descending wedge pullback after a three-legged bull run. This appears to be a textbook long setup, but is it?
How do we trade this? 🤔
The long setup in front of us is reasonable, but there are a few data points in our way. What's in favor of a long position is the descending wedge pattern after a three-legged bull run. The pullback has three pushes down with some strong buy bars, signaling upward pressure.
However, we are still below the Daily 30EMA and a distance from the Support Zone top at $1.49 and the Daily 200EMA at $1.35. You can argue that the third bounce off the descending wedge support is out low and we can place our stop loss there, and that is reasonable. I am suggesting exactly that trade is reasonable after a break of the Daily 30EMA and a re-test of the descending wedge resistance as support. The stop loss can be placed below the previous wedge low of $1.70 with a profit target at a 1:1 Risk/Reward Ratio of $2.414.
💡 Trade Idea 💡
Long Entry: $1.990
🟥 Stop Loss: $1.566
✅ Take Profit: $2.414
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:1
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Three pushes up in a bull channel.
2. Descending Wedge bullish pattern with three pushes down.
3. Strong bull signal bars on every wedge push.
4. Suggested to wait for a break of Daily 30EMA and a re-test of wedge resistance as support.
5. RSI at 48.00 and above the Moving Average, supports long bias.
💰 Trading Tip 💰
The longer a trend continues after 3 legs, the probability of that trend continuing lessens. Because of this decreased probability, we ought to reduce our risk when entering trades.

Zooming into the 4HR chart, we received the confirmation candle necessary to end a long trade. However we're a distance away from the original proposed stop loss. In the case that you are now ready to enter a long, I would place the stop loss around $1.85 below the last low and below the 4HR 30EMA. This gives you a rough 1:2 Risk/Reward setup. The entry for that setup has passed, so if you're looking for a scalp, I would do a 1:1 Risk/Reward using that same stop loss, use half the position size of the 1:2 R/R trade, and target $2.50 for a take profit.

If you entered a trade per my last update, your 1:1 or 1:2 targets would have been hit! I would wait and watch the price action play out, we're burning hot near resistance on Bitcoin.

IMX broke out of the Descending Wedge as expected reaching $2.285. The price is now hanging above the 30EMA but failing to break down. If you're in this long, hang onto the position. If you're not yet in a position, wait for confirmation off of the 30EMA to the upside.
