Bitcoin/USD Forex Signal - 12 September 2017

By Adam Lemon

Adam Lemon began his role at DailyForex in 2013 when he was brought in as an in-house Chief Analyst. Adam trades Forex, stocks and other instruments in his own account. Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

Yesterday’s signals were not triggered, as none of the key levels were ever reached.

Today’s BITCOIN/USD Signals

Risk 0.75% per trade.

Trades may only be entered until 5pm New York time today.

Long Trades

  • Go long after a bullish price action reversal on the H1 time frame following the next touch of $3974.75 or $3600.00.
  • Put the stop loss 1 pip below the local swing low.
  • Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is $50 in profit by price.
  • Remove 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $50 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to run.

Short Trades

  • Go short after a bearish price action reversal on the H1 time frame following the next touch of $4380.89 or $4779.06.
  • Put the stop loss 1 pip above the local swing high.
  • Move the stop loss to break even once the trade is $50 in profit by price.
  • Remove 50% of the position as profit when the trade is $50 in profit by price and leave the remainder of the position to run.

The best method to identify a classic “price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels.

BTC/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the $4000.00 area has become very key: if it breaks, then we are in a Bitcoin bear market with a fall of more than 20% off the all-time high. Alternatively, if it holds, it could be a great buying opportunity.

Happily for bulls, the price has risen strongly from the lows near $4000.00, and has also convincingly broken up past the first bearish trend line shown in the chart below. Although it is now running into resistance which starts being felt at about $4350.00, Bitcoins looks more bullish now without any doubt. If the price goes on to break up above $4380.89, that will be an even stronger bullish sign.

BTCUSD

There is nothing due today regarding the USD.
