Bull Flag in Bitcoin Market Cap Dominance
Disclaimer: If you are primarily interested in copying other people’s trades then this is not for you. However, if you are willing to put in the work that it takes to learn how to trade for yourself then you have found the right place! Nevertheless please be advised that you can give 10 people a profitable trading strategy and only 1-2 of them will be able to succeed long term. If you fall into the majority that tries and fails then I assume no responsibility for your losses. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business.

Quick update, without the normal comprehensive TA. What I think is most important right now is the Bitcoin Market Cap Dominance (BTC.D). This is my main indicator to identify alt seasons vs salt seasons. The best alt seasons happen when: BTC is in a bull market and market cap dominance is > 70%. Conversely when market cap dominance is less than 60% it is usually a good indicator to sell alts.
The target from the bull flag is 77%.
Furthermore I think this is a very strong confirmation of a bottom in Bitcoin. Throughout this bear market any time BTC has pumped, alts have pumped more. Now we are seeing BTC pump and alts sell off vs BTC. This is exactly what we saw at the beginning of the 2016 bull market. This combined with the EMA's starting to signal a reversal has me sitting up in my seat.
That being said I am not viewing this as an opportunity to buy BTC. We are at resistance and well overdue for a correction. Instead what I've been doing is shorting ETH:BTC and longing ETH:USD as a hedge. If BTC continues going up then alts should continue selling off vs BTC but not necessarily USD. If BTC goes down then alts should selloff across the board and I will exit my ETH:USD long. If all works out then I can use the ETH:BTC short to hedge BTC spot purchase(s) when it eventually corrects.
Hopefully that all makes sense, if not feel free to ask questions!
