Things have been a little quiet in the bitcoin price this week, and we’ve not had too many opportunities to enter on our breakout strategy. However, overnight on Wednesday, we did get a little bit of movement, and this movement allowed us to shuffle our parameters around a bit. We narrowed our time frame last night to the five-minute chart, and combined with the movement seen in the markets, this enabled us to get in short on a downside break. We remain in this trade as things stand, but it’s a narrow frame trade, meaning we can get in to a secondary wider time frame trade on any volatility this evening without breaking our strategy rules.
With this in mind, here’s a look at the levels we are focusing on this evening, and a description of how we intend to get in and out of the markets on any such volatility. The chart below highlights the range in focus, so take a quick look at that before we get going with the specifics. It’s a fifteen-minute candlestick chart illustrating the last forty-eight hours or so of action in the bitcoin price.

Looking short, a close below support will signal a bearish trade towards 414 flat. Again a […]
