BTC - Cash Is King in Market Corrections!
Cập nhật
Many new to trading often overlook Market Conditions when trading and investing and focus on their favorite stock or in this case coin! Many that have been trading markets for years tend to do this as well. But having gone through many market corrections, 1987, 2000, 2008 to name the majors, there were clear signs to get your trading money to the sidelines and be PATIENT! I was not the only one to mention this MarcPMarkets mentioned this as well several times and why I really recommend following him if you do not! Knowing when to get to the sidelines is extremely important. This only comes with years of market experience period regardless of how long you have been trading. Many of you are closing positions or waking up to positions in the red. This goes back to one of my posts where a 25% loss requires a 33% profit or 50% loss requires a 100% profit to get back to even. This is why I emphasize money management so often and not only in a trade, but when not to trade and be in cash! The same impulse that has many buying at the top of the markets is the same impulse that has them trading in volatile markets. OHHHHH I CAN'T MISS THIS TRADE. The best Investors / Traders ever like Paul Tudor Jones, Warren Buffet, know when a market is overheated and go to cash! You think Warren missed out in 2008 when when he had the cash to scoop up BAC' for $6 with a 6% preferred dividend per share? Or Paul Tudor Jones when he predicted the 87 crash while others were still piling in telling him he was missing out? That made him a legend and a rich one!
Last night I was watching this chart and was going to post it, but hesitated as it was too early and was going to bed. (I did post it in response to lapoochi's question pertaining to what indicators I use, on the French Fries and Gravy post for those that wish to verify) so this is not hindsight by any means. I noticed 2 things that clearly stood out. $5600 which had been a solid support line, all of a sudden was turned to resistance. Also the RSI indicator was having trouble maintaining above 60.Throw all the EW and Fibb to the sidelines, this is very basic trend analysis. This is why I have emphasized use EW and Fibb for a guidance but the trend is the most important, and many "experienced" traders fell into this trap as well. The market trend was telling us no new money is flowing in, as we mentioned several times, this was clearly a market rotation why make risky trades?
So where are we? Well we are sitting on a good stack of cash waiting PATIENTLY for some good trades or to add to our long term investments as we have been for over a week now. This is where patience pays off and as good coins get crushed we will be waiting to pick them up cheap Buffet Style. Simply because we were prepared and did not swing trade here!
From the chart on BTC you can see $4800-$5000 is our target range for a rebound, but this does not mean one will not happen as $5200 is the 0.382 level. So be careful shorting here as we missed the breakout from $5451. You can scalp trader here but if you are not seasoned it could be painful. Your best off watching the correction unfold and sitting on cash looking for deals. The final test will be if BTC' retests the $5445 level. If it breaks this level then we could continue higher so BE CAREFUL. But I expect it either to fall short or bounce off and head down towards the $4800-$5000 level which both will be met with great resistance. Failure to hold the $4800 level then the extended top we posted a few days ago, is in play for 3000ish.
Nothing chart wise has changed since we posted the French Fries and Gravy post, or Fork in the Road, so for more in-depth look you can refer to that article as nothing has changed.

It's all about risk to reward and though we got a lot of negative comments on it, this scenario would have paid off nicely. To be honest I did not trade it as I thought $6000 would be tested and it is where I was intending on shorting if the market was right. But this shows finding high risk to reward trades outside the typical swing trade is critical to making money.

Note the symmetry for the bull run and current bear run are very similar! Just trends to watch for when looking for a bottom to buy!Ghi chú
Just an update, to see if anything is out of the ordinary or invalidating a continuation lower. RSI appears to be failing at the 60 which would be expected as bear markets trade between 30 and 60. It retested the previous support resistance line but this again is quite common, we expect it to pullback to the 0.382 thru 0.618 retracement level, it's right there with the previous support resistance line at $5600. So let's see if we go lower from here.Ghi chú
I get a lot of questions on the RSI. The RSI is in my opinion the most powerful tool for a trader to master. Even as an investor. There is a misconception of how to use it for just overbought oversold, but if you understand it is really a gauge of the strength of a market and not only when you should trade, but more importantly when you shouldn't. If you master one indicator it should be the RSI period! before EW or Fibb even.Ghi chú
The EW count. This is why I am not trading here as this is a very difficult count to trade. These are the two scenarios. To dismiss one would mean you are not a trader. Both are valid counts. One is invalidated at $6250 and the other is invalidated at $4000.Ghi chú
Parallel to May June Correction, thank you Andrew McElroy for pointing this out.Ghi chú
Though the chart above clearly shows a path to $6000 which was our original target price seeing how the market recovered on the bounce it is likely to happen. I would look at the risk to reward before making a trade as the swings are volatile and the larger players know everyone is looking at $6000. $300 is not a lot of reward and there is a lot of downside risk as you can see from the May-June Comparison. I think there are better setups for shorter term trades like DASH ETH NEO and OMG with less monies risked. I am really like DASH here and will monitor if a trade comes to fruition.
