Does technical analysis still work on Bitcoin?

177
🔸 I'm continuing my experiment. That time I'll try to figure out which tools of classical technical analysis are still working on Bitcoin.

🔸 In my last idea, I considered trendlines from which price periodically deviates to take liquidity:
Price channel leads Bitcoin upwards


📈 This time, my attention was drawn to the downward channel on BTC, which perfectly fits "bullish flag" pattern - continuation trend figure.

⚡️ According to the rules, after consolidation in the channel, price must break through the upper border of the flag and cover distance equal to the price movement before forming the pattern.

☝🏻 I don't use this pattern in my trading strategy. Just analyzing statistics of successful ones.
Note
👀 Bitcoin approached the upper border of the channel.
