Bitcoin: Smaller Time Frame Head & Shoulders

This has not fully formed, confirmation is key on this pattern. If this forms properly:

Entry: Approx. 8k (Neckline break as shown above.)
Exit: $7,627 (Measure from the head peak to the neckline, add that to the neckline break)
Stop loss: $8,304 (Always above the R shoulder)

  • I am not 100% satisfied with the volume set up on this, but generally H & S are never perfect. For now, this is close enough. I will be watching the decline of the right shoulder for any volume variances of the H & S rules to potentially cancel out the trade.

  • Entering this trade, I always wait for the confirmation break of the neckline instead of doing so at the peak of the R shoulder, the formation needs to confirm.

  • I typically expect a neckline retest upon the break, my stop is set above the right shoulder because many times buyers temporarily rally the price up out of a neckline break for one more go at a rally. There is some support directly below the neckline, a retest above the neckline would not be out of the question before completing the formation.

  • The neckline break should occur with a volume spike. You can see the volume surge with the help of a volume indicator like the O.B.V. or C.M.F..

  • Patience is the key for trading head and shoulders patterns.

Order cancelled:
Entry never produced, H & S structure is no longer a valid structure in this idea. Note: There are still a few bearish qualities & bearish patterns forming. Those could still transpire at a later time as price action develops.
