Bitcoin Reaching Oversold Levels

Since selling my entire Bitcoin position in late April, I have been closely monitoring it and other cryptocurrencies. Even though I'm still very bullish on Bitcoin long-term, I personally do not like to sit through large 30% corrections. While they look like nothing in hindsight, they can be vicious and devastating experiences for those who try to "hodl" through. For me, when I see trouble ahead, I exit. If conditions improve, it's no big deal. I can always get back in.

Now, the question becomes has Bitcoin bottomed? Is it time to reenter? While no one can ever know for sure, I opened a partial position in Bitcoin today for a few reasons. First, it is oversold on RSI on the daily chart. This is a powerful signal that does not occur often during a strong uptrend. Second, there was a heavy volume hammer candle yesterday. This may have knocked out many traders who panicked as Bitcoin traded below the $35,000 level. Shakeouts like this often happen prior to large moves higher. Finally, I like the fact that Bitcoin has retaken its' 200-day moving average which I consider the "line in the sand" for uptrends.





Looking at Bitcoin's chart in 2017 it exhibited very strong action after hammering off the 40-week. Hopefully, history will repeat itself and Bitcoin will have a major run in 2021 just like it did four years prior. After placing my purchase today, I entered a stop loss below yesterday's low to limit my risk. I will add to my position if Bitcoin continues to show strength.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
