After five attempts at a break of the 0.31750 area, downside pressure has eventually prevailed and forced us to continue bearish momentum. Price has been trapped in a 1 cent zone for the past 8 days with four attempts at a bullish breakout and four at a bearish. This is shown in the H1 chart below.
I gained confirmation of this trade setup by going back in time to the 14th January where I found a similar wave-type pattern emerging. Four touches on the upside at the $0.33800 level and four on the downside at the $0.32800 level. Another 1 cent range zone. On the fifth attempt at a downside push, price was able to breach support and move further bearish. This previous trend helped me in my analysis with the present day. Again, the fifth attempt at a downside push was successful and bearish movement commenced.
Entry was at 0.31498, a 26.1 pip stop loss and a 105.2 pip take profit gives a great 4.03/1 Risk Reward. A high risk on this trade with a tight stop loss. As it was a break of the range zone I felt as though price had the potential to fall lower fast.
Just watched a huge H1 bearish candle spike. This represents the true volatility of the crypto market. Wish me luck!
