BTC is a victim of liquidity problemsMorning folks, So, we've planned just perfect last time, and BTC actually has dropped but much faster than we thought. It was not even able to form the right arm of H&S pattern and collapsed. But don't search the explanation on cryptomarket. The reasons are more pragmatic - short-term liquidity fall in the US. First is BofA collapse yesterday, then SOFR rate has jumped above RRP. Sea ports are under strike, which also bring a mess in mutual relations of all counterparts. So, current BTC drop is a pure run into liquidity. We do not know when it will be over, hopefully soon. But now we do not consider any longs and prefer follow to the market and see what reaction will be around strong support areas. Next one is 58K

63K and 68.75K to watchGreetings everybody, Just on Thu we've decided to be cautious about any bearish positions as market was behaving not typical, BTC has made drastic changes on Friday. A lot of bullish signs now. It means that currently we have bullish context. Our nearest target is 68.75K. Meantime, market has hit local 4H H&S target and now shows the response. Here 63K looks interesting for long position taking - trend line support and 3/8 Fib level. Besides, if later this construction will shift to H&S - we should get upside bounce in a way of right arm, so chances to move stops to breakeven look as good. Another pattern that might be formed - upside 1.618 3-Drive and BTC could start upside action earlier than 63K. If you want to foresee this either, one of the options is to split position in parts and take small part first, say, 30% of normal trading lot. Take the rest if BTC hits 63K support.

Watching for the same 60.5K areaMorning folks, So, the plan that we've prepared last week mostly stands the same. In fact, BTC has decided first to complete upside nearest AB=CD target, and starts retracement second. So, although we were waiting for pullback on previous week, it is starting only now. Here, on 1H chart you could see potential H&S pattern. We do not call you to trade it, because our primary context is bullish (although you can if you want). Here we're mostly interested with its fruits - downside pullback somewhere to ~60K support area. Which we think might be interesting for long entry later in the week. Cheers.

Watching for 57-57.5K levelMorning folks, So, upside target of last week around 60.5K is done, H&S worked very nice. Now, I suppose, it makes sense to wait a bit and see what will happen around 57-57.5K support area. Reason is simple. Technically BTC keeps door open for both scenarios. Supposedly the Fed statement should be dovish and supportive to BTC, but only if they either change rate for 50 points (that I have big doubts about) or will tell something very dovish on conference. Right now we do not have any clear signals. So, our choice is to wait when market hits support area, then watch on 15-30 min charts for any bullish reversal patterns. If we get any - it will be possible to use them for long entry. If not, or if the level will be broken - it would be better to forget about long entry for some time.

Pullback to 60.3KMorning folks, Probably I should make it as an update of previous idea... anyway... BTC shows upside bounce from the 1st 52K target. The pullback obviously is taking shape of reverse H&S pattern. Thus, the setup #1 for scalp bulls. You could think about this pattern, and its target around 60.3K For the bears it is nothing so far. You should watch for 2 moments - either H&S failure, or its completion around 60.3K Fib level and consider any ways for short entry there, if we get corresponding trading setup. For now it seems early to bet on downside continuation.

50.60KMorning folks, So, BTC was so weak that even was not able to form the H&S pattern. Not as bad job data just pushed it below the floor... There are a few bearish signs exist now on higher time frames as well... So, obviously we do not consider by far any long positions. Maybe everything is not as bad yet to consider 44K downside target on 4H chart but... here on 4H chart it is quite possible to consider 50.6K next downside extension. Once it will be completed - keep an eye on major lows here. To keep bullish chances, BTC should not break it down. Otherwise downside action could become faster in nearest 1-2 weeks. Take care.

The same H&S planMorning everybody, actually I'm not sure that we need the "new trading idea" here, because this is just update on existed one. Everything goes with the plan. Now BTC comes to the neckline, and intraday bulls could start watching for small 15-min reversal patterns to make a decision on long entry. Target is the same - 61-62K, the top of right arm of our H&S pattern. Those who trade on daily/weekly basis just do nothing and wait for this area to consider short entry.. So let's mark this idea as "Long", because we're watching for 61K action, but as you understand overall setup is bearish...

61-62K for short entryMorning folks, BTC was not able to escape mass revision of public opinion, concerning next Fed move. Not occasionally last time we've expressed doubts that BTC could reach 67K target. Here we will not speak about all bearish signs that we see. To keep it short we have big bearish engulfing on weekly chart which makes us think that H&S pattern on 4H chart is very likely. Thus, scalpers could watch for 55K area for potential long entry. While our base scenario stands for the daily chart and it is bearish. We intend to watch 61-62K area for potential short entry. Although pullback to 61K is possible, I mark this idea as "bearish" based on our primary object

Is it really to 67K now?Morning folks, So, we've got what we wanted - BTC dropped and not only to 61K but slightly lower, to 59.5K. The major question now is whether we indeed will go to 67K or deeper retracement comes? In fact, riddle is relatively simple. BTC now stands at strong intraday Fib support area. To keep bullish context, it has to go up right from here. In this case 3-Drive "Sell" might be formed, but it starts right from 67K target. Yes, the big uncertainty exists, as recent drop was relatively fast. But at the same time, risk is not too high as market stands near the possible lows. IF, still downside drop will happen, it will mean that we get deeper downside retracement. Current setup is not perfect, but it has some attractive sides. To take part with it or not today is up to you. It has more uncertainty that our usual setups.

Indecision situationMorning folks, So, pullback that we've discussed on Thu has happened. But now we have two equal patterns on daily chart but in opposite directions. Our elder bearish grabber and new one on the bullish side. If you conservative enough - it would be better to stay aside and wait for clarity. We suggest that bearish pattern looks a bit better, just because of intraday price shape. All upside swings look slow and choppy. At the same time, it doesn't mean that you can't try to trade bullish pattern. Take a look that here we also have reversal bar, suggesting that BTC could move slightly lower. If you want to buy, you could try to use it to open position as close to the grabber's lows as possible. Just to minimize potential risk. If, still, we will be correct concerning bearish domination, next downside target is 54.35$ Fib support.

Keeping the same scenarioMorning folks, Last time we said - no longs until bearish daily grabber is valid. So, it is still valid. But if you do not want to wait when situation will be resolved, or by any other reason you would like to buy - here is the life hack. ;) On 1H chart we have clear "222" buy shape with 56.70K target and strong K-support area. So you could try this strong area and try to take long position. Once minor bounce will happen - move stops to breakeven. So this strategy could let you to minimize risk or even to get some small profit if you're totally wrong. For taking the short position - it is necessary to wait for the bounce, because BTC right now is near strong support area.

No longs until 63K is takenMorning folks, So, Thursday plan worked nice - market was around 63K. Now situation is a bit tricky. First is, geopolitical situation is coming to the boiling point. Any activation in Iran will make negative impact on BTC, besides [b ]we have bearish grabber on 10-year bonds , suggesting drop back to 3.65% level. So geopolitical worryings are not in vain. Gold is opened up today as well... Besides, on BTC itself we also have bearish grabber. Situation with sell-off in Japan is also not clear by far. And we get GDP numbers this week. So, BTC could become ones again the major sell-off victim. That's why, until market keeps daily grabber valid we stay aside from any long positions. This risk will be erased if price jumps back above 63K area again.

57-59K to sellMorning folks, Wow, we've talked about just 60-61K pullback, but BTC just collapsed and has become once again the victim of sell-off. Investors sell "bad assets" to plug holes in balances of "good assets". And from this point of view - BTC is a "Holy cow" of this process. Besides, when 30% of the market is controlled by ETF, I wouldn't be surprised by any action. D. Trump needs as many BTC as he could get and he needs it cheap, so... BlackRock&Co still has a lot of job to do... Obviously patterns that we've discussed last time - just have not been formed, market just dropped, no H&S. So, based on daily picture, BTC is oversold now, but in perspective it is aimed on next downside target at 43K area. Now we're watching for technical bounce, at least to 57-59K area, where we return back to discussion of short entry. Scalpers could try to buy this bounce, if any bullish patterns will be formed on 1H and below. I mark this idea as bullish, because we're watching for the bounce. But our major view is bearish in longer term. Take care.

Watching for 59-60K areaMorning folks, So, retracement that we've discussed on Mon is started, although we thought it will be from 71K area. But M. East escalation has triggered sell-off in risky assets, and even J. Powell comments was not able to support the market. Now, although our 3-Drive pattern still seems theoretical possible, chances stand in favor our 2nd pattern - H&S. So, if you trade on daily and above time frames, I wouldn't hurry up with entry right now. It seems BTC could drop more. At least we could consider next support of 59-60K area. Just keep an eye on H&S... If you're intraday trader - you could consider bullish setups around potential neckline with two upside targets - 66K and 65.7K . They are resistance on 1H chart: Later, it is possible to consider short position as well, with the H&S pattern. It's obvious.

71.65K is the next oneMorning folks, So, our daily bullish setup has worked perfect - grabber has been formed and everything has started. Now BTC in fact has a free space right up to the ATH. So, we suggest that it should be aiming to challenge it. Still, we have another tactic resistance area - trendline on daily chart, based on tops. If we take a look at 4H chart and suggest 3-Drive "Sell" pattern, then it perfectly agrees with the 3rd Drive level - ~71.65K IT doesn't mean that we expect reversal there, although pullback is possible. We just use these extensions to estimate next upside step that BTC could make. Suddenly US bonds yield has dropped sharply which is supportive factor for BTC. Currently we do not see any bearish signs and suggest that BTC will try to reach ATH, if of course coming Fed meeting will not break the game...

Setups for any tasteMorning folks, So, as we've said - don't upset if you missed long entry as we will get the chance later. Now retracement is under way. WE have a few different trading scenarios. First is, those who would like to buy - our B&B "Buy" trade stands very close. Today we could get bullish grabber on daily chart that will be quite welcome. On 4H chart the B&B could take the shape of H&S, or, better to say, its right arm. Thus, those who wants to Sell - keep an eye on 66.50-67K area, where potentially right arm should be formed. Scalp traders also could watch for the bounce from the neckline to the right arm's top, say on 5-15 min chart, patterns etc., as usual. It is the only tricky moment concerning the neck. And this concern is based on 1H downside AB-CD. The problems is CD leg acceleration. The 1.0 AB=CD target is done already, and BTC could try to turn up right from here. But, acceleration tells that 1.618 target might be reach, which is around 62.25$. So, the compromise decision might be is to split position in parts and take it gradually...

Waiting for the deep to buyMorning folks, So, reaction on Biden's out is humble. Not only on BTC but across the board. Today it is a small update as nothing has changed significantly. Finally BTC has broken 66K resistance and now, officially, bearish weekly pattern is cancelled. At the same time, despite minor pullback, we haven't got clear H&S shape that we've counted on. Still, I prefer to wait for deep to buy rather than jump in running train. Previous bearish momentum is still here. Following this logic we could monitor intraday bearish patterns. Not for trading but to recognize starting point of retracement and estimate possible downside target. For now we could get either 3-Drive "Sell" or H&S, if BTC starts dropping right now. Other words speaking - context is bullish, we consider long entry, but watching for proper levels. Of course you could follow your own alternative strategy. Upside nearest target is the same - ATH.

Price has changed but the plan is the same 60.5-61.3KMorning folks, Not many things to talk about. BTC slightly stepped out from our plan, shown direct upside action to 65K resistance area. But it changes nothing - we have the same trading plan and wait for moderate pullback, supposedly with H&S shape. Now we change the potential entry level from 59-60K up to 60.5-61.3K... Let's keep watching. The role of 65-66K remains the same. Upside breakout will mean the road to the ATH and its challenge later in the month.
