I believe that it is possible to beat the market through a consistent and unemotional approach. This is primarily achieved through preparing instead of reacting. to learn more about how I use the indicators below and to get my complete trading strategy! Please be advised that I swing trade and will often hold onto a position for > 1 month. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business.
For a variety of reasons I no longer believe that $2,718 will be the bottom of the 2018 bitcoin’ bear market. I am now very confident that we will before finding a bottom. That is due to Tyler Jenks’ hyperwave theory and the Point of Control on the Visible Range with > 2 year look back | before the end of 2018, however I do not believe that will be the bottom. Strongly expect ETH to return to single digits before the end of 2019 | 500</a> at $2,634

Funding Rates: Longs pay shorts 0.0075%
Short term trend (4 day MA): Close below
Medium term trend (9 day MA): Held very nicely as resistance
Long term trend ( 33 day MA): as it gets
Overall trend: Fully
Volume: decreasing as price consolidates / pulls up
analysis: Lower high and lower low when comparing candle to yesterdays.
Cloud: Tenkan-Sen continues to follow 9 MA and Kijun-Sen continues to track along the 33 MA while in a C-Clamp. Now I am noticing that the cloud seems to ~ line with with 200 MA. That makes a lot of sense why a kumo breakthrough would provide such good entries and the cloud would act as support / resistance beforehand. Really liking these traditional settings!
TD’ Sequential: Red 9 closed today

Parabolic SAR: $4,189
RSI: Back below 30 and appears to be finding resistance
Stochastic: Threatening to recross < 20 after it looked to be providing a beautiful buy signal
Last Day Rule: I was incorrect the last couple days. Bears setup day was today when the candle closed above the low of 12/7. Trigger day would occur if price traded above today’s high ($3,603) at any point (wouldn’t have to wait for close).
Summary: As the price found resistance at the things started to turn more . The 9 day MA held as strong resistance, the is back below 30, the is threatening to recross .
has decreased while price has pulled up from the low. Today’s candle had a lower high and and a lower low when compared to yesterday’s candle.
I even considered taking the short entry on or when the daily close below the 4 MA. However I passed because there are a couple very strong reasons telling me to stay away from shorts.
First is the 200 week MA which I expect to act as strong support.
Second is the daily , which indicates in exhausted trend in the short term.
Third is the daily red 9, as well as an agressive 13, on the TD’ Sequential.
Fourth is the market being in backwardation for the last couple weeks. I have learned from Ugly Old Goat that this is a indicator.
All in all I am still not taking a long until price close above the 9 MA, even then I may pass. If not I will be extremely careful with my position sizing and leverage due to betting again the trend.
I don’t like the risk:reward on a short at these prices and I don’t love the r:r on a long due to the 33 MA and daily waiting from $4,181 – $4,500.
