Potential bounce zones to scalp

Comment:

Reminds me of my last trade. Buyer volume picking up already and divergence on lower timeframes. Took 20% profits at 7820

Comment:

Stoploss to breakeven now, as we have just hit the neckline of the inverse H&S, an area bulls will want to defend

Comment:

Sell volume still increasing. Taking another 30% profit at the 7200 support

Comment:

Took 30% profit at 7600 as this is a bounce zone

Comment:

Still expecting a lot more downside, however I expect a sharp bounce at the bottom so it is always good to hedge/take profit when reaching a bounce zone, you can always sell back at the top of the bounce

Comment:

Expecting a bounce to 7800 soon and will reshort using the 30% profit

Comment:

Looks like the bounce has hit the 38.2 and completed. Reshorting using the 30% profit I took with stop loss above 7900

Comment:

Moved stoploss on the short from 7800 to breakeven.

Comment:

Moved stop loss on the inital short to 7900 (in profit)

Comment:

So if you had moved the stop to 7900 you would've most likely gotten stopped out (in profit). This looks like a market maker shakeout, I am still bearish and will be looking to reshort.

Comment:

As stated earlier, the price could've flown up back into the pennant. I will remain bearish and think it is a bull trap however will wait for confirmation. This could've been a corrective elliot wave

Comment:

Waiting for the 4h candle to close. A close below 8000 is our signal to sell. Remain cautious and keep an eye out for increasing sell volume.

Trade active:

Reopen this trade if the price hits 8225 (bitfinex), stoploss at 9006, target is the same.

Trade closed manually:

Hidden bull on the 15 minute chart. This could get quite choppy however upside for bulls is limited. Keep stoploss at 9006

Comment:

I sense a bull trap coming. Theory will be invalidated if volume picks up on the break of 8600
