Crypto the Bitcoin Algorithm Charting Model Newsletter including Specific Time Cycle Price Targets and Buy / Sell Triggers Thursday May 10, 2018. Charts for $BTC $BTCUSD $XBTUSD $XBT $BTC.X $ETH $LTC $XRP #Bitcoin #Crypto
Hello! My name is Crypto the Bitcoin Algo. Welcome to the member edition Bitcoin trade report for Compound Trading.
Like our other algorithmic chart models, I am in development and testing for coding phase to be used as an intelligent assistant for our traders (not HFT). My charting model is specifically suitable for the use and purpose of trading Bitcoin $BTCUSD, Bitcoin/USD perpetual swaps $XBTUSD and Bitcoin related equities.
Note: The $XBTUSD model is built on a chart from BitMEX. Prices on other exchanges may vary slightly from what you see on the model, so remember to keep that in mind when trading the model.
Notices:
- Our apologies for the late reporting this week (although all models are still current but some near expiry). Next week we expect to be on time. We had students in for trade coaching and our new crypto desk start-up is taking some work. Also we have our biggest news on deck… can’t say a word at this point however.
- We are launching our 24 hour crypto trading desk May 15. This team of three will also be responsible for the development and coding of our algorithms. Read more here; https://compoundtrading.com/whats-new-at-compound-trading-april-may-2018/
- More extensive chart models for $BTCUSD, $ETHUSD, $XRPUSD, $LTCUSD and others (such as a few bitcoin related equities) will be featured in future reporting.

Primary Methods of Bitcoin Trade:
The primary method of trade we have found works with the most predictability is to wait for bitcoin to breach the upper right wall of a quadrant (the orange, blue or grey diagonal dotted lines – the thicker lines are more significant as they represent wider time-frames) and confirm over the next horizontal Fibonacci resistance. You can expect to get to reach the mid-line of the upper quadrant – over the mid-line you can expect it to reach the next quadrant wall. Entering this trade near the apex of a quadrant (time cycle peak range for a specific time-frame) gives you the widest trading range probability.
This method also works in reverse: Wait for Bitcoin to breach downward through the upper left wall of a quadrant, or fail when trying to breach upward through the upper left quadrant wall. Let it confirm under the next horizontal support and you can expect to see the mid-line of the quadrant – under the mid-line you can expect to see the next quadrant wall. Same as above, entering this trade near the apex of a quadrant gives you the highest probability of the widest trading range.
Channels: Another high probability trade is entering long as price rides up the bottom right wall of an orange quadrant. This is a safe trade to hold with a stop under the quad wall until the current time cycle expires. This trade works in reverse as well. You can enter short just under the upper right quadrant wall resistance, with a stop just over the quadrant wall, and hold until the current time cycle expires.
Horizontal Fibonacci Support/Resistance: The horizontal support/resistance lines are good indicators to use inside quadrants. The light green 0.5 Fibonacci line and the grey 1.0 or 0 Fibonacci levels (mid-lines) are the most significant. Clusters of these lines represent significant support/resistance as well. Intersections of horizontal and diagonal Fibonacci lines represent an upcoming decision and create a high probability of a significant move out of sideways trade.
Resistance Clusters: Along with the algorithm indicators on the chart there are traditional support/resistance lines that are very important. When these lines converge volatility tends to increase. Under the cluster is a high probability short. If it does get through the cluster it becomes a very high probability long scenario as the HFT algos cover their shorts and load up long.
Targets: Red circles on charting. These are placed at the most likely price targets in time cycles / trends relative to quads. These are still in very early stage of development/testing and should be used for observation only at this point. Two are typically provided for each quadrant time frame – the upper scenario targets should be considered if the trend is up and likewise for the lower. I do not recommend entering trades based on these targets. Also, at times the mid quad support / resistance line is highlighted with a target if trade is not extremely bullish or bearish.
Natural / Historical Support/Resistance: Natural / historical support and resistance is represented on the chart by purple horizontal lines.
Conventional Charting: Conventional charting should be weighed against the model(s) with all trade decisions.
In summary, our first generation Bitcoin algorithm chart model uses the following indicators (listed from most predictable to least in terms of win rate):
- Trading range created by long term algorithmic modeled quadrant support and resistance (blue dotted lines)
- Trading range between buy/sell trigger levels (grey/green arrows and solid lines)
- Directional channels formed by long term algorithmic modeled support and resistance
- Horizontal Fibonacci support and resistance (multi-colored horizontal lines)
- Conventional Natural support and resistance (purple horizontal lines)
- Long term conventional trend lines (red diagonal lines)
- Conventional MA’s

Observations / Chart Indicators: Current Area of Trade:
April 29 – The upchannel scenario is firming up (8874.00 per last report was held with ease) and confirms if price holds over 9837.00 area. If the upchannel confirms be cautious long if and when price gets up over channel resistance trendline on upside of channel. Any divergence like that should be throttled or shorted short term. It’s a likely scenario if price gets up over 9837.00 area and holds. The machines will kick in hard and human trading will likely trade it divergent to upside of channel resistance.
April 22 – Bitcoin down channel resistance top of channel has been broke to upside on the daily chart model. This is a big deal. IF trade stays above that channel break in the model then the upper price targets are in play (per earlier in post).
On the daytrading model it is important that price hold the mid quad support area in and around 8874.00 for this bullish scenario to play out.
This week will be a big test for the bull side bias I have.
April 7, 2018 – Bitcoin is obviously trading in downward channel on daily chart and until that becomes divergent it is a short. The daytrading model has been functioning well for both sides of trade. When divergence shows I will be alerting that aggressively.
Bitcoin Stoch RSI is trending up signalling new buy flow however MACD and SQZMOM indecisive. $BTC #indicators
Trade bias should be short until all three indicators represent consistent upward trade beyond resistance points.

Key Bitcoin Buy / Sell Price Trigger Levels:
Mar 26 – 4956.2, 5319, 5639, 5826, 6860, 7880, 8198, 9827.60, 11486.20, 11689, 12844, 13783
Bitcoin Trading Plan (misc notes as applicable)
May 10 – I should add to the April 29 note below that anytime price gains a mid quad or loses a mid quad this is also a great place to long or short on the daily model (or any model for that matter).
April 29 – Now that the upchannel scenario is likely the daily charting model becomes critical for position sizing. Longs in size should occur at or near the bottom of channel and trims should occur any time trade gets near top side of channel or at important resistance areas in the models.
Per recent;
April 22 – Trade since our bottom call (that worked out perfectly) has been getting better and better as the charting builds more and more structure and subsequent strength. My personal Bitcoin trading plan is to trade the daytrading model support and resistance lines trimming in advance of each resistance and adding above and using the daytrading model as a guide for significant adds and trims as trade goes along.
Per recent;
April 7 – Mirroring what the charting and notes above is saying… until significant divergence to charting occurs to upside I’m forced to remain bearish bias and daytrade the 30 minute model primarily.
Per recent;
200 MA test on daily chart failed with possible bounce on daytrading 30 min chart…. watching… but it is under pressure.
Per recent;
March 19 – Current trade bias is long to target concluding at upward target along TL quad trendline. Watch 200 MA test and mid quad resistance test. 9757 Apr 7 target on model.

The daytrading model is showing consolidation here but in no way should a short time-frame model form a trader’s bias going forward – short term bias, but not trend directional bias.
