Be careful when SHORTing here. The downside is limited but the upside is unlimited. Ideally, we trade with the trend. With the bottom being set 7-April, it would be wiser to wait for the higher low and go LONG. Now, bears are bears and bears are going to SHORT and that's ok. Just don't do it if you lack experience because it is harder than a LONG trade.
So here is the chart. The exact support level I cannot say but a bearish continuation looks high probability.
A $500 drop equals 20%. If you are doing 5X, this caps your profits potential to 100%. This isn't bad considering that it can happen within days. Experts only.
On the other hand, 3-10 days should be the maximum but of course, it can extend—these are just rough estimates.
This is how it is done from the bullish side, my side.
We wait patiently for the market to complete its retrace. We know it is a retrace because it is short-lived and because it ends in a higher low compared to the last major low.
We wait patiently for the drop and for clear reversal signals to show up on the chart. Once we have clear reversal signals, we go LONG. Very simple.
If you bought the LONG from the $1,570 level, then of course, nothing needs to be done. Sell a bit at each resistance, buy more at support. You can reduce your position even now. Remember, no need to get the exact top nor exact bottom. So you can sell some now, take profits; great. Then buy some more when prices are low. Your buy price can be $1800, $2000, $2100, it doesn't make much difference. What matters is selling high and buying low.
The first step is to get the great entry. Done. We did this back in April. The second step is to play the market as the bull market unravels. See how much time there always is to take action. Plenty of time to buy we had, plenty of time to sell.
For this to be profitable and successful we have to plan beforehand.
Here I am giving you live step by step instructions and this can also be done. But the truth is, people went LONG at resistance with high leverage and ended up losing everything, because we tend to trade based on an impulse. No, no, no.
Instead, detach, wait for the perfect moment and go LONG/SHORT.
Which one you prefer, bull?
Then wait for support and go LONG. Do not trade against your preferred bias.
Are you a bear?
Wait for resistance SHORT the retrace or wait for the correction. But this is many times harder of course because the downside is limited.
I hope you find this information useful and if you do...
Good luck.
Namaste.
