Bitcoin maybe coiling and forming an ascending triangle

Long
COINBASE:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Renko 4h chart with average true range (14 period) is showing signs of an ascending triangle.

Even if one can make gain buying now, I will probably wait for breakout (enter half) and confirmation (other half - or if it does not look back that's ok) of this triangle for entry.

There is always a possible that it goes the other way around and drop but given the strength (recently it started to hold up despite equity/stocks weakness). It may be for fundamental reasons or whatever it is, it has been showing relative strength.

I am still cautious on equities despite yesterday's weakness and crypto in general being a risk ON assets, caution is still warranted.
But if this breakout happens above 44500 (plus/minus) and especially if there is a retest and confirm then we are back in bullish business.

Note, I have found success in "using crayons rather than pens" meaning give it some space on stops (whiplash) or even be ready to re-enter if stopped out (though if I get stopped out 2x times I will seriously reconsider patience). That is why ATR (average true range) is useful - in general (for other symbols) but most especially for crypto.

Good luck out there
