I will be looking to open a long position below $4,200. Target price is the range high (upper dashed line), with profit-taking levels at each quarter of the range. Stop level TBD.

Started opening longs. Will update with a final entry price.

Woah. Left my PC for a few minutes and came within a couple of dollars of being liquidated. Leaving my long position open for now (entry was below $4,000), and we will see how this progresses.

BTC is finding support at the 0.25 level of the range it broke out from when the 2017 bull run began.

BTC is now heading to the 3.5k support. If this support breaks it's a long way down.

Took a 30% loss and closed my long position. Never leave a trade without a stop

Aaaaaand if I'd held on another 6 minutes I'd have broken even.
I guess that's why they call it the path of maximum pain.

This is the point at which I should step away from the PC. I can't rely on myself to make rational trades but it's very difficult to lose that much money and know I could make it back in minutes by correctly timing a couple of high leverage trades.

Interestingly I've made 2 only buy calls on BTC since I started charting. Both times bitcoin made new yearly lows immediately afterward.
