BTCUSD: Long term trend is up, but a correction is on the way...

24 sept. 2019

Unless we erase last week's downside move, the trend is down for the next 10 weeks. Target is 6833, but might bottom higher (or lower). Watch the behavior here, since Bakkt and Binance.US did nothing for price, downside action is the next logical course of action. I flipped short after hedging spot holdings near 9687.5 today. We were long spot from 5300 to about 7000, and then back in a few times, until the most recent long entry near 9400.
Initially we caught upside from the very bottom but ended up underperforming since we moved to ETH instead of holding 100% BTC, causing my trading signals group to underperform holding BTC spot for the first time in many years. This situation might reverse going forward, since I'm confident in the ability of the methodology I learned from my mentor, Tim West, and my experience in this market to help navigate the waves in crypto markets profitably.
I did correctly identify the bearish trend in ETHBTC after it was confirmed and it has moved down since. It will continue to move lower, I wouldn't reccomend holding on to any altcoin, and at this point not even BTCUSD is safe for investors.



Best of luck,

Ivan Labrie.

Note

BTCUSD's support at 8118 seems to be holding, if it doesn't fall towards 6700-6295 before Oct 1st, the monthly chart will be flashing a bullish signal, as per Tim West's monthly analysis. It would likely go back towards the long term trendline:

Ordre annulé

Price action is still weak, I will wait for clear strength to manifest itself, it will take time before any serious buyer uses Bakkt, no reason for the market to go up from here, weekly trend still active, and there's both time and possible downside left...

Let's wait and see.

I'm cautiously bullish here:

Note

Resistance between 8877 and 9448 might be tested next. Monthly gives bulls reassurance, since price didn't break down enough to be worrying, and biweekly remains positive as well. Daily made a new low but turned up, forming an outside bar, which is potentially a good start for a bullish move here. I'm long from 7966, after covering my hedge. I would see if we need to hedge again higher, but time will tell...

Price action isn't too strong, some more downside is possible.

#BTCUSD broke above the downtrend mode here, a failure signal just triggered, it implies a rally to 10146 within 11 days if it holds up from here:

19 oct. 2019

Note

Upside target was not met in time, so back down we go...weekly trend can run until December 1st. If we don't hit 6834 by then, we would have a weekly bearish failure, which would probably happen after price bottoms and accumulation starts once again.



I'm hedged from 8340 roughly, was back in the long from 7950 recently. So far, market remained sideways, so we could trade in and out a couple times to increase the BTC count, but there's no opportunity to take bigger risks than trying to maintain USD value intact until it's clear the sell pressure receded.

Note

The CME #Bitcoin futures chart predicts a fall towards 6534, with a stop @ 8310. It can reach this target by Oct 31st or sooner, and it might be the very bottom IF it comes to pass: Weekly shows 6706, as the target zone, with time until Dec 5th.

21 oct. 2019

Note

This signal might fail on a move over 8355, I'm long spot here. Covered my hedge from 8340 near 8190.

Last: 8193.32

If prices break over last week's high this week, the bullish scenario would become more probable and could warrant taking a long position on margin with a tight stop.
