Hello everyone,
Since late November, BTC has been chopping around in this range and consolidating. We have flipped the weekly open to support and are marching towards the highs at $7,500 - $7,700. I have been long-biased since we reclaimed mid range, and my current trade plan is displayed on screen for 2.5R. Entry is roughly $7,150.
Volatility has been decreasing for the past week, with price increasing which leads me to believe the path of least resistance is upwards. Historically, when volatility hits the 110-130 region, it leads to a rapid increase in price.
Comparing that to our moving averages, the 200EMA sits nicely between 7.5 and 7.6k which is likely to be an area of considerable profit taking. A rejection there fits the bearish case of a lower high and continuation downward.
However, we are now witnessing golden crossovers on the 2h/4h and soon to be 6h causing me to lean bullish with a target of $7,500 minimum. What happens around the 200EMA (redline) will likely be what dictates the near term trend.
If you recall one of my old posts, I am still anticipating a move up $8,000+ however how long it may take before BTC making a final correction lower to make new lows <6.3k.
For now, this looks like a bullish price action setting up for a macro bearish retest. Carefully laddering shorts between 7.6-8.2k still seems viable given our choppiness and overall bearish trend for the entire year of 2019. However, I would not blindly short 7.6k as I believe we may experience a significant short squeeze.
Only upon clear rejection of 7.6-7.7k would I flip to short-biased. Until then, I am long and strong. A loss of the weekly open is a clear bearish signal, and would invalidate my bullish thesis.
I will be updating this one as it progresses. Good luck trading!
