ghost of bitcoins past for BINANCE:BTCUSDT by one-two

will it come back to haunt us? where the bulls at? they've gone missing?

Comment:

27k need to hold its last stop for bulls middle term range. bulls have lost if 27k falls.

Comment:

atrocious low time frame charts constant chopping up of traders on 1h charts.

I took a swing trade long near 27.5k got stopped on it , im sitting on sidelines, Will short if i am able to catch a breakdown from 27k.

Comment:

here's a short setup if it breaks below 27k.

Comment:

And a long setup in case it goes up from here.

Comment:

Of course it can stop you out on both trades hahaha aint trading fun

Comment:

i just have the long atm, will short once 27k breaks which it aint broken yet.

Comment:

welp stopped on my long lolz

Comment:

unsure if i want to short just yet though

Comment:

damn it i missed the break but from here if i were to take a position maybe its something like this...Its hard to tell whether its broken as i wasn't watching charts when it broke. cant watch it 24/7 sadly.

Comment:

juz cuz it broke one level doesn't mean its the end though it can always bounce off of other areas and stop u out once again cuz we are all cuks to the market in the end of the day.

Comment:

welp there goes any hope for bulls time to wage cuk for another 100 years.

Comment:

btw if you keep a tight stop it can always wick to stop you out ;)

Comment:

i'd say keep a wider stop, And close manually when price closes back above 27k

Comment:

as u can see the neckline of the H&S is a slope, the re-test can very well go back high to stop out. I'd say as long as price remains below 28k area there's no reason to change a bearish bias on the charts.

If price retests 27k area i'd look to add size to short position, but im unsure if a re-test will happen.

Comment:

Just so we dont get any black swan events and to stay safe i think a stop around 27.8k would invalidate our short position

Comment:

i've kept my stop above the red area here around 27.8k. i dont wanna wake up one day and see price sky rocketing to 35k + and im still stuck short from 26.6k. You never know what happens in market, control the risk, leave the rest to the lord.

Comment:

as with any trader this could end up faking out nothing is certain in trading - if trading was as simple as shorting head and shoulders and getting 10x returns everyone would be bill gates. i enter every trade imagining i already lost that trade

Comment:

with weekend price action coming in soon, I am not sure if i wanna hold any huge short positions on the weekend. :/ this is so so hard.

Comment:

moved my stop up to 28.4k.

Don't want to be a victim of weekend price wicks.

Comment:

will manually exit and start lowering position size if price reclaims 27k area.

Comment:

Honestly with so many people looking at this head and shoulders it could very well end up reversing so never trade without a stop loss. You never know who is gonna get rekt.

Comment:

Invalidation would be a break above the red area for me.

Comment:

27.2k is a good area to watch.

Comment:

closed short from 26.6k at a loss. im outta this move.

Trade closed: stop reached

Comment:

just a note this sort of movement is very tough to trade. I might short again if price goes down, but as long as price is above 27-27.2k area there should be no urgency to short.

Comment:

will re- short if price loses 27.1k again

Comment:

This could very well end up being a gap-up and wick mvoe

Trade active:

re-shorted with stop at 28k area.

This time im not taking it outgonna let price stop me out instead.

Comment:

trade invalidation above 27.8k

Comment:

Overall this is very very tough to trade, Below 27k you can say with somewhat certainty support might be broken this range of 27k-27.2k pretty much anything can happen.

Comment:

from this area its more of a 50-50 chance. Not a great place to be short tbf.

Comment:

needs to break 27k with conviction for me to be a bit more confident..

Comment:

chop to death

Comment:

still have my stop this time not doing any decisions and will let price stop me out - dont wanna get chopped up still unsure whether there's break or not, but my bias remains bearish.

Comment:

broke on the smaller time frame but the daily is not looking as much as bearish now. Look how the daily charts never broke below 27k area and even closed higher.. getting more neutral here and started reducing short position size.

Comment:

needs to close below the green area on the daily charts..till then its neutral ranging motion

Comment:

The inverse chart helps you cut your bias. Needs to break 26.8k area on the daily charts for bears to have any power. As long as 26.8k holds, the h&s is not in play.

Comment:

btw candlesticks alone wont be enough to confirm an invalidation

Comment:

Price can always wick and continue down, We need evidence on daily charts 26.8 failing to hold to catch a breakout, but if we wait around for the daily charts to close - the move might as well be finished because bitcoin often dumps very fast. Shorting on short term time frame support breaks gets you chopped up, so there is no easy money here.

Comment:

But with the number of times price has chopped the 26.8k area it has become increasingly difficult to catch a breakout trade on the short term

Comment:

Price hitting 26.7k area again. How long can it hold :/

i dont know when this level might break - I will add to my already short position size if price closes below 26.8k on daily.

Comment:

Price already near todays atr. remains to be seen whether price has what it takes to even break its usual daily atr range.

Comment:

ahh so many would be rekt if price dumps on the weekend. the joys of trading bitcoin is that u can have no life and can sit in front of charts 24/7 while ur social life dies a horrible death

Comment:

this is one of the reason i like stocks, your headache ends after 8-9 hours with plenty of off time in the middle of the day when stocks dont move much. here its just constant neurotic worry.

Comment:

ftx allowed u to use its algo to help u to trade when you weren't in front of screen. but then they stole all our money and ran as well. wish similar features were on binance and bybit.

Comment:

- not the stealing part - the algo part would be cool on binance and bybit - not stealing part.

Comment:

stonks crashing btc following the leader.

Comment:

again , already near todays atr, Bears must really show up hard for price to travel further down from here.

Comment:

getting the timing right on these moves is very hard especially on swing trades. im not even sure support is broken yet looking at inverse charts , seems like more like a swing failure point (SFP) google it.

Comment:

I think a lot of people give moving averages a lot of crap but they tend to capture trend moves pretty well on longer time frames on bitcoin. If you followed a simple moving average long daily strategy you'd have captured all 3 major bull runs in last decade.

Comment:

Trade closed: stop reached:

Got stopped out on that weekend move. Still have the original short from 29k open though. Stopped on the short from 26.6k

Trade active:

Although i got stopped i still got short from 29k , so i am still short. Only one short position got stopped out

Comment:

Bias is still bearish, Im not really DCA'ing here.

Comment:

This is middle term bias btw ie the next 3-4 months maybe

Comment:

If price goes above 32k then i will turn bullish till then middle term bearish.

Comment:

will start reducing position size if price is able to maintain above 28.5k.

Comment:

only thing you can control is what you risk on a trade.

Comment:

Reeeeeeeeeeeeee??????????

Comment:

wow went to 24k and now its at 30k almost in last 3 days.

I get stopped on my trade above 31k. Must be black rock etf news whatever it is this trade will get invalidated if i get stopped above 31k.

Comment:

they know my stop is at 31111 so they won't touch it :)

Comment:

sitting at -0.9R

Comment:

and if u add all the other losses i've had so far in this trade its close to -3r on this trade alone. tough as hell to trade.

Comment:

i do hold spot btc so thats a positive.

Comment:

That breakout squeeze tho was impressive as hell

only question is the move designed to get liquidity from the hedgers or is this a move of genuine bulls showing up.

Trade closed: stop reached:

got cuked

Trade active:

i reshorted at 30.4k.

Will take off this short position on daily close above 31k.

Order cancelled:

well its off for now, but if i feel like this move is motivated to force hedgers out or if it shows any sign of turning back down im re-shorting it.

Trade active:

again lol

Comment:

im short from 30kish, if price retests 31k area again i will add more,

Fed meeting coming up with potential rate hikes..remains to be seen what happens.
