Thanks for the analysis. So the "prediction" model is based on the "numbers" that happened in the past, and assuming based on the previous tread.

Are you going to improve the model using more factors such as reward halving, development in blockchain discussion, and the rise of ethereum, and so on...?

The 'reward halving' is something that I have in the back of mind, but not something I can factor into TA. Like the rest of the things you mention, these things are fundamental events mostly for consumption by the chattering classes, to give em something to get excited and/or fearful about, give them some handle to justify their positions. For all we know, we may have had the 'Halving' in Nov 2015. $400 BTC after the halving, would still allow Bitcoin to be profitable to mine. I shall let TA tell me when/if 'The Halving' is coming.

What I am using in the above TA, is Fib retracements, Harmonics, momentum divergences, and Market Structure. Collect all that data together, then decide whether the balance of probability lies with a bearish outcome, or a bullish outcome, and then to what extent.

but...but...but...the halving....the trains....the rocket...the moooon....MarcusofAugustus' countdown...Huh?

More seriously, I thought you were done with BTC, the sharks, the blatant market manipulation etc etc....

halving will not happen tomorrow, and anyway you can short weven while the price is increasing, because there will be many consolidation

short don't mean dumping, short mean taking value from the negative part of each swing

And this in my view is the optimum trade entry at the moment.

Short at $432.50
Stop at $437 (ish)
1st target at low $420s

Going to start a thread posting my own ideas and what is happening with BTC.


At the moment, I see a completion of a weak move up against the grain of the momentum indicators. Shorters probs want to set their trades around $432-$433, targetting low $420s and setting their stops up above $436. I would be astounded if BTC takes out the $435 high, without first correcting a good bit. Momentume looking very heavy, volume is increasingly anaemic.

I am currently short from $430, and won't be adjusting anything for the time being.
