Summary: Watching for a potential bearish hikkake on the 12h and 4h charts. If that happens it would also line up with a breakdown of the 12h cloud. An inside bar just closed immediately following a fake breakout. If the next couple candles rally on low volume then the setup would be evident. A brief breakthrough of yesterday’s high ($6,468 on Bitmex) and then a quick reversal below $6,385 would be confirm the pattern.
I have added to the stop orders that were outlined in yesterday’s post. A new order has been placed at $198.40. If that triggers then I will be moving my original stop to breakeven and expecting prior support to turn into strong resistance.
