BTCUSD: Higher Low, But Climbing Back Into Reversal Zone.

6 cze 2018

BTCUSD update: Dramatic run up back to 7600s after making a low of 7372. About 40 points above the support zone I wrote about previously. It does not matter why it happened. What is more important is what is likely to happen next and is there any opportunity here?

In one sentence, the answer is there is nothing here. No level, no trade setup. Just random price action. Price is touching the bearish trend line and appears poised to break, but that is not enough information for us to justify a trade.

At S.C., we are not interested in any new long positions at this level. We will especially be steering clear of any prices near the 7896 reversal zone boundary. Also we are not losing sight of the fact that 8185 is still intact. This is the .382 resistance of the recent bearish structure. As long as this level is not compromised, we will be leaning more to the bear side in the short term.

Keep in mind this does not mean we go short. We are long term bullish and are interested in swing trade long setups, and extreme prices to add to long term inventory.

If you do have the ability to go short, I would keep risk to a minimum by limiting exposure to day trade strategies. And that is beyond the scope of my article.

In summary, yes it's dramatic but there is no reason to react. If this market is going to break out, there will be plenty of new opportunities along the way. Until then, be patient and look ahead to see where the next potential inflection points are. If the market reacts at one of these points, you should at least have a better idea of what to expect. The question you must ask yourself: is it within the range of your trading plan to participate? If you don't know how to answer that, then you probably need to work on developing a well defined plan.

Watch S.C. for more updates.
