Bitcoin: Let's look for divergences 

Bitcoin / United States DollarCoinbase

Descripción

Good morning tradingviewers. lol If you are interested in where Bitcoin is going, how will go there and when, please do not follow this post. I am not a professional trader and these are my personal ideas only. Today here we are going to look and wait for divergence formation to try to understand how they may work and help future trends. I have not prepared any chart yet, do please desregard the above. Thank you for following.

Comentarios

One general rule is that whan you find one you must wait.lol

Comentarios

It may take time on longer timeframes for the price to diverge with RSI but if you wait and be patient, when the divergence corrects, may produce intersting moves. Especially if you find them in longer timefrimes. On short timefrime I usually don't trust them very much.

Comentarios

Before going into divergence price must find a support or a resistence to stop and think for a while

Comentarios

This happen in all timeframes

Comentarios

They almost move at the same time when they are in action but during pauses they may differ and provide signals that can be interpreted in various ways. It depends on the scenario you are in, it depends on forces into play. It depende on many factors. When I started studying divergences on youtube everybody was saying they were a very powerful tool Teachers, professor, expert traders. Everybody spoke well about divergences.

Comentarios

They were not working for me!

Comentarios

My amatour demo trades were ending all out of money.

Comentarios

Was intelligent and educated people wrong? Or was me that wasn't able to listen to it properly?

Comentarios

So I put my self-arrogance on one side and decided to investigate.

Comentarios

Well, to cut story short I didnt find out anything. They are just simple. That's it.

Comentarios

Sorry I diverged. I will take a pause and come back in a moment trying to post some snapshots

Comentarios

Whilst you wait you may want to read some news:

If you know where price is going it's a different story. You don't need divergence. But if you don't know your targets it may be a good idea to wait for divergences and see what they tells you right?

Comentarios

Also divergence may be important depending on where it is formed.

Comentarios

If price diverge on an obstacle it may go the opposite way. But at some point may also change it's mind and come back on its previous path. It depends on the forces that are acting.

Comentarios

Let's take a look as an example to the snapshot of the hourly chart of Bitcoin

Comentarios

That one was a divergence. I wrote a post on the 23rd of Jan about that forming divergence. I did NOT get it right but when price reacted to that divergence on that psycologically important round level it prompted a timid run for a top that was stopped against resistence.

Comentarios

Comentarios

Be carefull that the above is a chart of the past

Comentarios

As divergences on lower timeframe may be tricky, I didn't trust it and went for that double bottom. Have you seen how it developed? You will see it if you click on the above and see by yourself how the price reacted to that. It's an hourly chart so, if you have been following BTC like I did for the last 5 days, you should be able to feel its sentiment. lol

Comentarios

Felt it? Good!

Comentarios

The following snapshot does not count but I need to use it as a reference for focusing where this is happening in time

Comentarios

Comentarios

I can see that RSI is stretching but cannot see candlesticks from here. It's seems like diving but I am not interested in what is doing now. I am interested in what will do next. If the are no clear opportunities at the horizon it is always better to wait and look for the right moment.

Comentarios

So I ask myself. What would happen if RSI stretches further to the approx level of where the arrow is and price is supported?

Comentarios

What would happen if price breaks that support and RSI stretches further in ovesold zone?

Comentarios

Will the price ever reach that support level?

Comentarios

Let's see from a different angle and let's keep looking for divergences

Comentarios

Comentarios

The angle is the same sorry. Still 1hr tfr chart but with few simple trendline added

Comentarios

Does it looks like price is following RSI or the other way around?

Comentarios

Let's look at the picture closer...

Comentarios

Comentarios

This is the 30 minutes tfr

Comentarios

Findings: RSI oversold and descending trendlines. Looks like a descending channel but price is still well above previous low therefore the descending channel has not been confirmed.

Comentarios

Comentarios

I don't know if these are diverging tops. I am not a professional. I don't know how they should be interpreted.

Comentarios

Price is supported at around 10500.

Comentarios

Comentarios

I don't see any divergence here apart the ones between the two big fall.

Comentarios

But only on MACD. RSI don't.

Comentarios

Comentarios

Comentarios

Is that forming low sopported at that level?

Comentarios

Will the support hold? Is it holding? How?

Comentarios

Looks all very horizontal to me but I appreciate price gets near to a vertex of some type

Comentarios

I go look for some and be back soon. Thank you for following. I know nobody is but I like thinking it. lol

Comentarios

Comentarios

Price diverge but divergence on short tfr are not to be trusted. If bearish pressure is strong price will return pushing against the support and if the push is successfull price will look for another support unless it re-enters it rapidly.

Comentarios

Comentarios

After hitting 10500 price diverge but this is 5min chart and means nothing standalone. Bears are winning battles at the moment there fall price remain under bearish pressure and you should always follow the major trend. Trend is your friend say professional traders. I am not. I am an amatour and these are my personal ideas only. Go to lunch. Ciao

Comentarios

What could happen if price do not follow RSI?

Comentarios

Comentarios

Lot's of sellers there. Better be carefull and go to eat.

Comentarios

It is important to undestand volatility

Comentarios

And keep it simple

Comentarios

How will BTC get out of that vertex?
