Trading breakouts / BTCUSD

Telah dikemas kini
Trading idea for an upcoming breakout. Several day consolidation shows a big move is coming to the up or the downside. Which way? It's a 50:50 guess

So to trade it you can set stops and walk away.

  • Sell short stop @7825
  • Buy long stop @7959


Whichever one triggers, cancel the other and place your stoploss on the other side of the consolidation.

Having your stop-orders a little wider (e.g. don't enter the trade unless you clear the whole consolidation) will give you a worse entry but less chance of getting faked out

Trade still open. Switching to 1hr heiken ashi. We have a potential re-short building now.

Traed update, we only got one green candle before the dump. was not able to enter a second short, but the 'strategy' to sell breakdown of a Heiken Ashi candle would've entered short here with stop here

For the brave... a possible continuation is forming on 1-hour Heiken Ashi chart. I would prefer to see a bit more consolidation and upside before selling this but you don't aalways see it in a bear market

Trade is still in progress. The previous sell signal I did not take but it would've worked out great.

Looking at the weekly chart there is a confluence of support here.

- 50 Week SMA
- Downtrend line from previous wedge
- Near February lows

Might be a good take profit area

Unfortunately one cannot be awake 24/7 and overnight BTC came within inches of my profit target of 6556 and rebounded hard to 7200

In case we are reversing here I have moved my take profit stops down to 7370.

Prices are meeting the downtrending 30minute 50 SMA. Let's see how it reacts. Can it cross the line or will it get pushed down?

Hitting resistance now at 7200 and a pullback. We have a potential candidate to re-short developing

Two shorts still open.

Using the Heiken Ashi method of identifying trend continuation we get pretty good entries into trades

2/3 of short is now closed. Watching for a possible reversal up to 7400 or continuation pattern.

It looks like a bearish continuation but experience shows these can break either way.
