ALGO found resistance at $1.20. Ready to take off?
Even with the pummeling BTC gave ALGO yesterday and today, after it paused at each ellipse boundary and ultimately crashed through, it has held the bottom of that red ellipse. I had put a tentative buy target of $1.1950, just above the lower boundary of the red ellipse, in case it fell that far. As this recent dip was underway, and it started falling towards that lower boundary, I did put in a limit order at $1.20 that hit. I should have trusted my $1.195, as that would have hit as well.
I used the same strategy for BTC using an ellipse I had identified for the BTC-USD pair, and filled a limit order @ $53,400.
After having spent a little time with this ellipse technique, I will say that it has give me a bit more confidence that I have some idea where price might be headed in the near future, and also during big-ish drops, where the potential resistance levels are, with what seems to me to be more precision than just trend lines. YMMV.
Most people who do TA would probably have recommended that I wait for ALGO to confirm the test of resistance, and wait for confirmation of reversal before buying. I’m still a bit impulsive, so I made the assumption of a bounce and acted accordingly. There is nothing to say that we won’t see another big drop below the resistance of the ellipses I’ve drawn, and if that happens, the fall could be quite far, so I took a bit of a risk there. But my hope is that ALGO finds its way above the bottom of that green ellipse I’ve drawn, as it would provide a nice run back up to/past ATH. Otherwise, we may find it using that ellipse as resistance.
So, in sum, I think ellipses have proven so far to me to be a useful way to look at a coin’s chart, but they definitely need to be used alongside all of the other traditional TA tools to make informed decisions.
