Or are there a lot of people still following technical indicators and such.
Of the people who still choose to follow technical analysis, what's popular in bitcoin? What are people using?
Im still following some technical analysis, for day trade i think is still good you can predict some trend when it just jumped . for example price: 650 - 630 - 620 -500 -640 - 630.. it has been like a roller coaster for days.
I can't comment on the validity of your specific idea but I think that's a little different than what I consider standard 'TA'. I would say you're more trying to trade off of market psychology and specific anchor prices.
Some people try to claim that the popular TA indicators are representative of underlying market psychology but without being able to explain the logic behind them, I don't consider them on the same level.
What you're trying to do falls closer to behavioral economics. Since you're basing your idea on predicting people's(the market) reactions to different price points.
Well yeah so in fact i use a mix of technical indicators at the same time i use market pshychology, and i think its the best strategy, i mean with only technical analysis you can barely predict it at long term but at day trading, for example if you are in a market and have seen during last few days this rollercoaster pattern. There i used a tech pattern recognition in the chart ( forming triangles)
But you have to know very well the market and checking the news all the time while the possition is open, if you are not in the middle of a selloff then there is no reason to have a huge drop when the rollercoaster is in the in phase, so you will hit the pattern enough times to make profit no matter if one or another pattern doesnt complete, you need to check also if this pattern was not behind the recent huge drops.
And then theres here another more complex but common tech-pshychological pattern, it forms triangles again in the chart, the coin is in a bear market, and during last month everytime it crashes to 20 percent or more in one day; it bounces back around the same percentaje or more. You will buy the bottom and sell it high
free money, just dont do it in massive selloff bear market you can get burn
