Swing Trading Strategy for BTC Pair

1. Trend Identification

Use the 50-day and 200-day Moving Averages (MA) to determine the bigger trend:

If BTC price > 50 MA > 200 MA, it’s an uptrend — look for buy setups.

If BTC price < 50 MA < 200 MA, it’s a downtrend — consider short or avoid longs.

2. Entry Setup

Wait for a pullback or retracement towards the 20-day MA or a strong support zone.

Check RSI:

RSI near or below 40–45 signals a potential oversold bounce in an uptrend.

Confirm with MACD:

Look for MACD line crossing above the signal line or bullish divergence.

Look for price action confirmation:

Bullish candlestick patterns such as hammer, engulfing, or morning star near support.

3. Entry Point

Enter near the support or 20-day MA after confirmation candle closes.

4. Stop Loss

Place stop loss below the recent swing low (e.g., 1.5% to 3% below entry depending on your risk tolerance).

5. Take Profit / Exit

Target the recent swing high or strong resistance level.

Alternatively, use trailing stop loss to lock profits as price moves favorably.

You can target a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2 or 1:3 (e.g., risking 2% to gain 4-6%).
