Coming to the charts for the first time today and will share my thoughts

Hopefully this sort of thing is useful?

I'm trying to share how my thought process builds towards making a plan that gives actionable trades

Teach a man to fish and all that...
Last night we went down a bit in price

We spent a lot of the day above 50K, just a tiny bit short of hitting that 1-1 extension I mentioned yesterday

Although "consolidation under resistance" is bullish, on $BTC we often see a pullback to run some stops before another attempt
We came down to a major TPO and Volume POC Level for this upper part of the range above 47.8K

So far, retested it and bounced
With this bounce it gives us a new Fib level where the .618 has very good confluence with the (old but still relevant) Daily S/R at 49909

Not very likely to majorly reject there but Day Traders and Scalpers love this kind of level for a quick short trade
Looking at the order flow on the drop last night, it was on relatively flat OI (slightly increasing) which we would say in isolation is neutral to bearish

However we can see from the CVD that the majority of active participants have been shorting
This resulted in bullish CVD divergences (HL on price, LL on CVD) which indicates that the passive (limit order) participants have been filling long orders

So it helps answer the question:

1. Where was the market trying to go? Down
2. How good a job was it doing? Not very
As a result we are now seeing a move up from the POC region on increasing OI, decreasing shorts and increasing longs

This is bullish locally
We need to remember, price spends around 80% ranging, 20% trending (very roughly)

So if we're not trending locally, we're probably ranging

Usually this will start in small ranges (check the 5m chart yesterday) and becomes larger ranges

At the moment, I see this range
Range trading is the easiest way to trade the charts as well as the most relaxed

It's also the one most traders totally suck at

Most traders trade as if price is always trying to break out and trend

So they're going to be wrong 80% of the time

Go and learn range trading!
Finally (for now) we have an 80/20 setup

Daily Open was below the VAL of the previous day

This trade is now active and gives us more context for upside at the moment

If you're not sure how to trade this, Google "80/20 trade setup", you'll figure it out

Just some thoughts as I go through the charts with fresh eyes today

1 - In terms of horizontal S/R we have clearly blasted through most major levels we were coming up against.

Not much S/R wise between here and 56K now
2 - There was a pretty major area of resistance between 47.8-49.9K including the very obvious psychological level of 50K

Did it put up much resistance?

Not really - but we're only JUST above it so a bit early to say it's definitively claimed yet
Where are we now?

There's some resistance here, albeit a pretty obvious one that a lot of the market will be watching (BTC doesn't like to reward the majority)

1 - Global .618 (HUGE level)
2 - 1-1 extension (hitting now)
3 - HVN of this huge range
4 - Some previous highs

Busy today so not much time for TA

I have been through the charts quickly to update my TA and set my alerts in case we hit a level of interest

Going to share with you guys!

1/
On my scalp short last night I hit another 2x TP before it came back to hit my stop at entry

I missed the failed auction above 40.5K earlier although catching that short I think would have been harder than the one below as we didn't take the high

2/

Still in a swing long from 32K, so what now?

We've been battling the 40K/local range high resistance now for a while

Could we just break through?

Yeah I think so, in which case this setup is still relevant

Although it isn't my favorite setup for today

Definitely going to be watching for this potential Swing Failure Pattern above the local Daily S/R and highs

Simple way to play it -

Get above the level with increase of volume

Back below the level with candle close

Short
Candle close timeframe is up to you, higher it is, the more likely it is to play out

I would say 5m at least, 30m ideally

Stops above the highs, give it a bit of space in case we go up to trap early shorts one more time
Not in yet, shorts are trying to dump it hard but getting absorbed so far

I'm still in my long from 32K

Coming to the chart fresh and going through my ideas about what happens next

Thought I'd share my process with you guys

1/
I know it's "in vogue" now but the way I've developed TA over time is to use mainly Price Action, Volume Profile and Market Profile

So first, I want to check the volume for the mid term range

We have closed the first Daily candle above the VAH of the range since June 16th

2/
On June 16th however the VAH was much higher, so this makes the recent daily close more significant to me

Long on this from 37656

If we lose the Daily Open and VWAP I'll cut it unless we get a quick reaction upwards

TP1 - 38200*

TP2 - 39359*

*approx ;)

I'm aware we're coming into local resistance here so monitoring it!
This is on a different account by the way

Still in my original long from 32.3K on my main account

One is a swing, one is a day trade
TP1 at the S/R, shorts got aggressive

Overall trade idea still in play but at least I am almost guaranteed profit now

FIND GEMS ON TWITTER WITH LESS EFFORT!

We all know that Twitter is an amazing source of information.

Finding out about projects and trends early is absolutely key to maximizing returns.

But with SO MUCH information available, how do you zoom in on what’s useful?

A thread

1/
My team and I spend nearly all day, every day researching projects.

Over time we’ve built out some really fancy metrics and tools to identify key trends.

It doesn’t mean we can catch everything (nobody can!)

2/
It does mean though that we can invest our time and energies into specific research and not waste it just finding WHAT to research.

In crypto (as most markets) there is a huge amount of value in having asymmetric information
