proposed STOP LOSS: ~10,600 proposed TAKE PROFIT: ~17,000 Risk-reward: over 4x
Longer term trend: BULLISH Current trend: BULLISH
General comments: Bitcoin has seen bullish movements since the start of February 2018, making higher lows with highs pegged at 11,700. The result is a beautiful bilateral triangular pattern.
A bearish break below the trendline will have my bias be bearish, with a target of around 6,000.
However, a bullish break above the resistance will mean bullish movements are likely. This post will favors and assumes a bullish break in the foreseeable future.
What I like: 1) 3 touches of resistance and bullish trendline. This translates into a well developed triangular pattern, with support and resistance being highly respected. 2) excellent risk-reward, about 4x.
What I dislike: 1) still quite premature to risk capital for the large play. Fortunately, price hitting the 11,700 resistance is quite likely considering a bullish engulfing pattern formed at the support. 2) A bearish pin formed just after the bullish engulfing bar, showing signs of weakness even for the short term play.
Other things to note: 1) Bitcoin has been bullish for the past month but many other large and mid cap coins are moving sideways. This signals a weak cryptocurrency market and should be taken into consideration should you choose to risk capital for this bullish play.
