TradeRoom: Our Weekly Crypto Trades Analysis – Dec 27, 2021

Post date December 28, 2021

Welcome to this weekly series from the TradeRoom. My name is Dave and I’m the founder of The Crypto Den, an Australian-based crypto trading and education community aiming to give you the knowledge to take your trading game to the next level.

Crypto Market Outlook

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all took some time away from the charts and crypto to spend it with loved ones!

In last week’s article I mentioned that the TOTAL crypto cap needed to hold on that daily 200 EMA, which it did and then continued to break out from its new downtrend. It’s currently finding resistance at US$2.4 trillion.

The TOTAL2 (ALTcoin market) has broken its US$1.4 trillion resistance, while the BTC.D (% of BTC dominance over the market) has dropped again significantly, underlining the fact that the capital flow has been in ALTS.

Something to note at this point is that BTC.D is now at a support level and could see a reversal, meaning capital flow will leave ALTS and go back into BTC.

What plays well with this possibility is that BTC seems to have broken out of the current local downtrend and performed a support/resistance flip on the 4H chart, and is currently being snagged on that daily 200EMA. Breaking through this level around US$51,800 will help confirm a bullish bias for me. The last thing we’d need to see is a clear and strong breach of the 618 retrace (Fibonacci level) of the US$52,000 – US$53,000 zone WITH VOLUME. Failing that, I see another test of US$45,000.

Last Week’s Performance

BTC/USDT

Following my short trade on BTC I wrote about last week, I’m now in a BTC long trade and currently sitting at around 100%. I waited for the breakout of the falling wedge and a retest of support before entering. Not a massive trade just yet, but waiting for confirmation is always the safest trade to take.

SHIB/USDT

It almost hurts me to even write this but traders see opportunity in anything – even overhyped, high supply coins. SHIB, for example, broke out of a falling wedge that started at the beginning of November. With the hype around this coin lining up with the technicals, it was a no-brainer entry. Although I didn’t enter on the initial pump, I waited for the safest entry. Price action broke out and then tested new support, which is where I entered my longs. This thing has crazy volatility, so it’s likely a riskier trade than most.

NEO/USDT

I took the NEO long that I also mentioned in last week’s article. I got the hammer and bullish engulfing I was hoping to see and entered on the breakout. It’s currently up 120% and I’m looking for that to double if BTC sees some bullish PA (price action).

SOL/USDT

One of my favourites to trade is SOL. Finding a bounce off trend forming ascending triangle (3 touch rule), I decided to enter. I added to my position after the triangle break and retest (we teach how to trade these patterns in our Trading Fundamentals course). Trade is still active, currently up 179%.

This Week’s Trades

FIL/USDT

I’m currently watching FIL because it hasn’t yet reacted to the market the way many other ALTs have. I’m seeing a really large bullish divergence and a downtrend break. What I’m waiting to see is a break and test of US$38.00, or a retest on trend for an entry.

MANA/USDT

I’m actually already in a MANA trade and wanted to add this to the list due to its crazy potential. If this US$4.00 resistance breaks, I see potential here for MANA to do 50% or more.

TradeRoom: Our Weekly Crypto Trades Analysis – Nov 8, 2021

Post author By David Haslop
Post date November 8, 2021

Crypto Market Outlook

Last week the overall Crypto Market Cap (TOTAL) sat steady at the US$2.6 trillion area and this week is still holding strong, currently at US$2.7 trillion. The flow of money into ALTS has shown some serious bullish price action across the board all week with near perfect conditions as a trader.

Bitcoin dominance is still dropping. Over the past seven days it’s dropped from 44% to 42%, while the ALT market added almost US$100 billion (6% growth).

BTC Dominance

Looking at BTC, we are seeing a few key points of interest.
First, since last week BTC has been ranging. Despite the BTC.D dropping further, this isn’t a bad thing. Holding steady above US$60,000 and ranging up to US$64,000 shows a bit of consolidation.

After its ATH push, it’s retraced into a golden pocket (61.8% FIB) from its previous level of consolidation, with a series of Lower Highs (LH) and Higher Lows (HL) forming a symmetrical triangle (usually a bullish continuation pattern with a 70% chance of continuing with existing trend).

Our first target in the TradeRoom still sits at US$78,000. As traders we move with the market and change our bias to suit, and at the moment the general consensus is bullish!

Something to keep an eye on, however, is the BTC monthly chart. At the moment it’s showing a bit of indecision (Doji Candle) and while there are still three weeks of the month to go, it’s worth keeping in mind. We expect this to change but it’s worth noting.

Last Week’s Performance

SOL/USDT

For the third week in a row, Solana (SOL) has made the top of my list. Why? Because it’s a money-making machine! With another 25% growth in the last week, there just seems to be no stopping it. Painting a bit of a daily Doji candle at the time of writing, however, if BTC does in fact take off I expect SOL won’t be far behind.

AXS/USDT

Another trade setup I mentioned in last week’s article is AXS. Since breaking out of its symmetrical triangle, AXS peaked out at 35%, which those of you who leverage trade will know is a significant move, even on a 10x trade.

*Last week’s screenshot from a TradeRoom Market Scan*

This Week’s Trades

BTC/USD

Let’s go back to BTC. If the bullish sentiment plays out, I’m expecting to see something like this:

You can see in its previous run up, BTC peaked at the “future 618” Fib (a common target fib) after retracing 50% of its last push before that. Now, it’s not uncommon for momentum to pick up and only see retraces of 38.2% in a continuation trade. If it follows the same pattern, a target of US$83,000 is likely. Our initial target for BTC is still US$78,000.

MANA/USDT

One of the biggest coins to watch for this week, I think, will be MANA (Decentraland). The momentum is too high to ignore and with all the hype around the metaverse tokens, this has been one nice little performer.

We charted this in the TradeRoom last week and collectively made over 1000% RIO in a matter of hours!

From a technical standpoint, MANA has retraced to the golden pocket (common retrace level based on Fibonacci), bounced off the pocket and the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and is currently in a descending wedge pattern. This is another bullish continuation pattern we teach in our trading course.

*Expect to see something like this play out*

It’s important to remember that when trading ALT coins, their price action is heavily dependent on BTC. If BTC takes a bullish path, ALTS will likely follow. If BTC turns bearish, then ALTS will likely dump in price even harder!

Crypto Market Outlook

Despite BTC dropping 14% from its new all time high (ATH) last week the entire Crypto Market Cap (TOTAL) still looks very healthy sitting at US$2.64 Trillion area. Which is only a 4% drop since the new ATH of the market cap.

What we find really encouraging is the current position of the ALT coin market (TOTAL2) which has a total value of US$1.47 Trillion. Reaching new highs yet again this is extremely bullish, not just for ALTS, but show for BTC as well as its showing strong confidence in the overall market. Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) dropped with BTC recently and ALTS only seen rather minor reactions to this drop.

Even the total crypto cap excluding both BTC and ETH (TOTAL3) has reached new highs this week topping out at US$963 Billion. Which tells us that a lot of capital is confidently flowing into ALTS across the board and not just to the Crypto #2 Ethereum.

Now lets take a good look at Bitcoin.

BTC pulled back to find daily support at US$57,500 after reaching a new ATH at US$67,000. We thought we would see a much stronger initial push high from BTC after achieving a new high however a pullback like this is NOT unhealthy. In fact quite the opposite.

BTC could simply be painting a daily bullflag! This is a bullish trend continuation pattern which shows a price projection (length of the flag pole) lining up perfectly to a future 618 Fibonacci level. We teach you all about chart patterns and Fibonacci in our Trading Course if you’d like to learn more on this!

If we take a look at BTC on a monthly chart you’ll see its just had its highest monthly close ever! Another very bullish sign.

So what are we looking for in the TradeRoom next? Based on a 4 hour chart it shows BTC breaking out of the bull flag and retesting a level of both horizontal support and the local down trend. This restest forms a higher low (HL) which leads some pattern traders to see an inverse head and shoulders pattern (iH&S) which is a common reversal pattern preceding a recent trend down. The “head” also reached the common Fib retrace level of 61.8%. We are waiting to see a confirmation of this by breaking above US$62,605 (green line/circles). Once this is confirmed I see BTC approaching the new ATH with bullish strength behind it!

Overall market sentiment is high. The general consensus is that we will see the entire market make another move up. Be sure to mitigate any risk by ensuring stop losses are in place!

*BTC breaking out and retesting bullflag*

Last Week’s Performance

SOL/USDT

In my last article I touched on SOL being one of the key coins to watch. Even with BTC dropping that 14% I’m so impressed with how well SOL has held its own. Making a higher high (HH) on daily chart we still expect to see SOL reach new highs at around US$250

ETH/USD

We also looked at ETH for a long position. As you can see in the chart below this trade was ALMOST stopped out when BTC pulled back however it wasn’t hit and we are still in the trade. Again, I’m expecting to see ETH hit close to US$5,000 soon!

MANA/USDT

This trade was by one our our TradeRoom members and former students! Using Fibonacci as a project tool this trade played out better than expected!

‘Dazzling’ as he’s known in the TradeRoom spotted this ascending triangle pattern (another bullish continuation pattern). After entering MANA did a massive 240% move. Daz entered into a leveraged trade yielding him over 1000% which is amazing! I’m sure everyone reading this from the TradeRoom can agree Daz is a TCD legend and always extremely helpful and supportive within the community! Nice work Daz!

NOTE: Daz has been trained to trade with leverage. Leverage trading should NOT be done by beginners. If you’d like to learn our Trading Fundamentals LIVE course starts in 2 weeks!

This Week’s Trades

BTC/USD

Lets look at BTC first. Can it follow the potential path addressed above and breaks the ATH at US$67,000 we will likely see US$75,000 – US$78,000 as a first target.

ALGO/USDT

An ALT showing some signs of strength amid the BTC pullback and one of the fan favourites in TradeRoom is ALGO.
Showing some daily Higher Lows (HL) with equal highs ALGO is one to watch this next week or so.

AXS/USDT

AXS is one we touched on in our market scan last Thursday as its be painting a daily symmetrical triangle. Again this shows good strength against BTC. AXS has since broken out and already achieved a 34% increase. Currently pulling back to test support and could present opportunity for a new entry.

Its important to remember that when trading ALT coins, their price action is heavily dependent on BTC. If BTC takes a bullish path ALTS will likely follow. If BTC turns bearish then ALTS will likely dump in price even harder!
