It is Thursday morning, and time to take a look at the bitcoin price. Specifically, let’s have a look at our price played out overnight, and attempt to interpret this action and apply it to our intraday strategy in order to attempt to draw a profit from the market during today’s morning European session.

If price breaks through resistance and we get a chance to enter long, it will be towards […]
