So the inverted head and shoulders I was looking for since Dec 23rd is so far playing out perfectly, albeit I predicted the pattern to take a few days longer to form. We bounced exactly off the trend-line support at $6,860 (on Coinbase Pro), a trend-line that has held for 5 years and immediately formed a bullish engulfing candle which closed to show some solidarity.
My entry at $6,860 was about as perfect as it gets and now I am enjoying a nice buffer.
As soon as we break $7,500 (assuming we do) then 8K should be an easy next stop, however we will run into trend-line resistance and probably see a short sell-off at 8K. Assuming it holds above $7,500-$7,700, another bounce would put us above trend-line resistance, break us out of the 7-month downward channel, and in my opinion, lead us into another bull run where we take $10,000 (maybe for good).
As of right now it looks like we're leaving behind the 7-month downward channel and moving up the 5-year long-term support line.
So far so good, but always must keep in mind the market can tank for nearly no reason at the drop of a dime. I have stops set at $7,000 just in case, I won't lose money, won't make much either, but given the pattern forming I think I'll be pushing my stops up here very soon.
Sideways movement for more than 48 hours I'm getting on edge and probably looking to sell.....
