There is so much noise out there it's absurd! Can we please have just one more article about market manipulation in cryptocurrencies? Have any of you idiots really studied charts from regulated markets like the NYSE or Nasdaq? Happens there also but it's disguised better by the professionals.
Ok so bulls took a beating in the derivatives markets and lost some serious btc. If your a trader and a bull, stick to your plan and buy the dips! Don't try to be a fortune teller and catch the falling knife just set multiple buy orders at points of interest. Say your bag is $1000 and you think btc is best thing since sliced bread. Set some limit orders with no more than 3% of that $1000 or $30. Yes it sucks when btc moons 30% and you make $9 profit. Trust me you want that bag of cash for the days ahead.
My method simple and not original but effective. Use BB/KC indicators looking for a squeeze with positive momentum. It's ridiculously effective on anything with volume. Buy signal came on March 15th, 2019 at $3800-$3900. Once momentum appears to peak and we been riding outer edge of BB, I sell. Sold on May 13th, 2019 at $8100.
Now I place buy orders with each no more than 2% of my available funds and I wait. We bull market for sure just be patient.
If your a f....ing noob, stay the blank away from derivatives! YOU will eventually be liquidated and this tends to repeat itself for several thousand dollars. That's what these "flash crashes" are all about. Smart money shorts a few million so they can buy the spot cheap.
This is only my opinion and not financial advice. Read, research, and think for yourself!
