Using Technical Analysis to Find Entries When Trading in a Bull Market
Let’s begin with Moving Averages.
(BTC/USDT) 1D Chart
On the chart above we have MA200 (red), MA100 (green) and MA50(white). On the move up in the beginning of 2024, traders had the opportunity to enter a long position on Bitcoin when the price returned to MA 100 at in the 2nd half of January.
(BTC/USDT) 4H Chart
On the 4H timeframe analysis, there was one more opportunity for entry – at the end of March. This is a simple a way to get on the bull market train.
Let’s move on to using Fib Retracements
(BTC/USDT) 1D Chart
For this example we are using the 1D timeframe again. After selecting the Fib Retracement tool, we click first at the start of the move and then at the top of the move. The levels we look at are 0.382, 0.5 and 0.618. As seen here, the price wicked under the 0.618 level, but we did not have daily close below. Thus 0.618 can be a great place to set a limit order.
Remember, trading is risky and you should never risk too much capital, as I myself have done multiple times and it did not end well…
As some seasoned traders say: “Patience is key!”
