Sawcruhteez Strategies: Comprehensive Trading Strategy - Consensio | Comprehensive Trading Process | How to BUY THE DIP | Advanced Dollar Cost Averaging Methods



Consensio: 4h is bearish. D is bearish. W is bullish.

Patterns: Head & Shoulders with $7,600 target. Bear flag with $8,660 target
Horizontals: S: $9,400 | $9,100 and $8,600. First two areas of support look ready to breakdown. R: $9,600 | $9,800 and $10,000
Trendline: Bull TL violated two weeks ago
Lucid SAR: If looking for SAR based on Welles Wilder’s original calculations then use “Lucid SAR” on Trading View. Broke 4h bear SAR.
Futures Curve: Contango with 1.37% spread
Funding Rates: Longs pay 0.01%
TD’ Sequential: Daily R6. Weekly R1.
Ichimoku Cloud: Weekly C Clamp with strong support at $7,600 and $6,500.
Coppock Curve: Rolled over on the weekly.
Average Directional Index: Weekly rolled over. Daily crossing 0 with -DI above +DI.
Price Action: 24h: +0.46% | 2w: -7.09% 1m: -4.53%


Summary: In the previous update I called for $8,500 based on the bear flag, death cross with 50 and 200 EMA’s, parallel channel and prior horizontal resistance.

I have amended that to $7,600 due to the head and shoulders that is illustrated in this post. The chart below shows the path that I think it will take.


I am still short from $10,330. I trimmed 10% of that position at $9,500 and moved the stop loss to breakeven. Now I am going to let the rest ride, hopefully down to my target of $7,500.

Basically all of my favorite indicators are showing significant short - medium term bearish signals:

Consensio on the Daily has turned bearish
Weekly & Daily Lucid SARs are bearish
Weekly ADX rolled over
Weekly Coppock Curve rolled over
Violated bull trendline
Daily Ichimoku Cloud is bearish
Weekly Ichimoku Cloud has a C Clamp
Price action over the last 2w and 1m is down.
Confirmed head and shoulders with $7,600 target
Confirmed bear flag with $8,500 target

We just confirmed another bear flag with a $8,500 target on the 4h.


I’m not taking that signal because I am already short from a better price and am happy with my exposure. However the risk:reward is quite favorable. If I was looking to enter then I would strongly prefer shorting an alt. Most major alts recently had a death cross with the 50 and 200 Day EMA’s.

That tells me that Bitcoin is expected to make a short to medium term correction but alts are ready to re enter full blown bear markets. Therefore short something like ETH makes much more sense than shorting BTC.

After posting this I will be taking the RV out to the lake to join my friends for a bbq. Happy Labor Day!
