We have been big believers in Bitcoin's ability to go higher, but this is only a tactical trade to buy it cheaper with possibly more capital.
The rationale for this trade is because of how high Bitcoin has run off the lows. Here are some elements that influence this trade
This is how the trade is structured:
- Sell short Bitcoin at 23,098
- Place a protective stop at 23,480 - equaling 380 points of risk
- Set a profit target at 22,246 - 852 points of opportunity
Here are the technical and psychological reason for believing in a throwback
- Measured objectives were met - the pattern of Bitcoin going higher has been fulfilled
- There is a slight rejection off of the 50-period simple moving average
- There is a loss of momentum, and the percentage increase off the lows has been significant
This is only a tactical trade with tight risk parameters
- Also some of the motivation for this is missing some of the downside from 69,000 and the bears have been quiet
