IOTA Short-term Breakout In Either Direction
I am really, really new at this. Beware =)
Primary analysis on volume with emphasis on gaps. The Current Buying Void is an area of low volume that appears to be a ceiling at this time. The Current Catch is an area where the price is being propped up with decent volume. The Volume Void is an area that had very little volume during the recent rise but acted as resistance later.
This is a breakout trade on a short timeframe of <2 days. The strategy is to buy or sell when the appropriate line is crossed. Then, close in the target zone. It is very possible that the targets are not generous enough and profit will be lost by my conservative closing prices.
Bitcoin's price action could greatly influence the outcome. Bitcoin's movement voids this entire analysis or could force IOTA's price past the target ceiling or catch.
** Note: the orange lines are an attempt to project where the cross of the buy/sell lines may occur. The area where the Buy Line is crossed is drawn based on the last two grind lines. The area where the Sell Line is crossed is based on the chart's last two high candles -- one line from the base-to-base and another line from wick-to-wick. This is just an experiment and will likely be way off.

Dagangan ditutup: sasaran tercapai:
Resolution: Profitable. Crossed Buy Line and traveled to top of Target Ceiling. $1.50 acted as the ceiling for a few hours as it did two days ago.
Currently, the price ~$1.53. More resistance has been encountered.
I'll post new ideas later today on BTC and IOTA.

Komen:
I underestimated the ceiling due to ignoring the bullish potential for continuation. The actual ceiling was $1.70. Looking back at the most recent price history at this level (07 March), indicates a volume void from $1.54 to $1.62.
In the future, I will consider making the ~$1.62 level the target.

Komen:
Track record: 1/1 for crypto; 1/1 for IOTA; 0 pending trades.
1. a stop at $1.49
2. a trailing stop $0.035 after $1.49 is surpassed
Then, close at $1.49 or above.
