BTC/USD - Textbook Rising Wedge (Instructions inside)

Updated
Hello friends! After a prior strong downtrend of six months, the price of Bitcoin (BTCUSD) printed a Rising Wedge pattern. This pattern was formed by higher highs combined with small pullbacks during this seven-weeks trend. Smaller pullbacks usually underline the strength of a trend. What's suspicious here is that the we see a divergence with the volume, which was declining while the price was rising. Buyers did not support the higher price levels. This finally resulted in a rejection at $10.500 with a move to $9.200 within 6 days. The Support Line of the Rising Wedge broke.
Indicators go crazy on this volatility - but most of them point bearish now. The price is moving below the EMA 20, which is an inherent part of my strategy when trading Bitcoin.

I use the Rising Wedge pattern to verify my
  • Stop-Loss slightly above the peak
  • Neckline & Entry at today's open price
  • Technical Target at the bottom of the Wedge


Since we do have a major event upcoming in May (Halving), i will hedge here while adding more longs at the Fibonacci Retracement Levels (0.5, 0.618, 0.786).
Please manage your risk properly! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. All details are in the bottom of the description.

cheers,
