The target of 6900/7000 did not get reached, because it was getting bought at the lows yesterday. In my last update i posted i said that it was clear that bearish momentum was dropping. A few hours before that i showed a bullish wedge that could possibly show a reversal as well, but the price dropped below it, which happens very often but than it should go up quite fast again. That was the whole confusing thing yesterday, it stayed there for so long that i could not give that bullish wedge allot of value anymore. Just to be sure i had lowered my stop to 7320 from my 7550 short position. I just got hit an hour ago, and from the looks of it, we will probably go towards the 8000 again the next few day.
In the chart we can see that bitcoin has found support around the support level of that big (blue) triangle. At the moment it is trying to get back into that paralel channel again, something it has tried for several days but each attempt failed which showed how the weak the market was. The past month or 2 we have seen our allot of fake squeezes up and down, whales are doing that to confuse both sides. But i would be very surprised if this rally does not see any follow through. As long as it stays above the 7350 it's almost 90% sure it will happen. A drop to 7250ish should really be the max for a drop, but i don't think we will get that low anymore.
Looking at the red line, you can see what i still expect for the coming weeks. I still think this rally will be a temp move and that we eventually start to drop again. I give it 20% chance that we have seen a med term low here exactly on the blue support line of the triangle. It's never that easy in my experience. So i am quite sure that we will drop again, but from which price is the difficult part. As long as we stay below the 8000 i wont change my mind, if it gets above that level than i might. I still don't have a real pattern to give a target for this rally, but i think we should reach the 7700/7800, these levels should form a resistance. So for now my plan will probably be to build up a short position around those levels. But i won't start to build it up when we get there, i will wait patiently until i see some signs of weakness first.
Now something else, i have been working far to much lately and just not getting any rest because of that. I am doing everything myself, answering all the messages and the few people i work with. Until now everything is still for free what i provide here on TV so i don't have the luxury to get some help or support. I am a bit disappointed in myself that i did not spot this small reversal, this is usually what i am good at. Now thinking back on what i saw yesterday the signals were there and similar to others i did spot. Maybe i just missed it, maybe i had it wrong. But what i do know, i have been working none stop lately with average 4/5 hours of sleep. It's clear i need a break, want to say for a week but i know i can't do that. I will start with at least today, it's been 30+ degrees here the past few days and i have been sitting inside all the time.
But next to all of this, taking a break, from at least a certain asset is key to be successful. It's impossible to predict each small wave during the day and when you concentrate to much on 1 asset (i see crypto as 1 asset since they all follow BTC) eventually you loose sight of the bigger picture and objectivity at certain moments. Normally an experienced trader looks at all the markets for opportunities, to search for perfect setups. If it's Gold or Oil, FX or the stock market, their are always great opportunities to catch. But i know most people here don't find that interesting so the focus is completely on Bitcoin. The message of this is, sometimes you can make easy perfect trades a few days in a row on a certain asset, but sometimes you should not even touch it for a while. For example, when Bitcoin was going sideways between the 8000/8800.......................
