Best book that I recommend for leading Candlesticks is encyclopedia by Thomas Bulkowski.
Lines
There are 3 types of support and resistances.
2. Trend lines.
3. Horizontal lines.
Demand and supply zone is the area where the liquidity is formed. Here is a tutorial on how to use
Candlesticks are a method to find demand and supply. I will be posting more tutorial on the same.
https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1256701605925187584?s=20
Trend lines are non-horizontal support and resistance lines. They are useful for day trading and giving
powerful entries. You can find a brief introduction about it here.
https://www.learn-stock-options-trading.com/trendlines.html
Horizontal lines are one of the most important levels, on all time frames. I've already done a tutorial on
them. PDF link https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1257740801158688769?s=20
If need be, you can refer Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits by Richard Schabacker as reference
for support and resistance
Moving averages. There are 2 mostly used moving averages. Simple moving average or exponential
moving average. There are many traders who claim to have invented a secret moving average strategy. I
don't think moving averages can work as a buy/Sell indicator. Rather, they help us recognize a trend.
Don't EVER make buying or selling decision based on moving averages strategy. Eg triple MA crossover
strategy or 8,13,21,55 crossover strategy. They don't work in the long run.
Use them as a trend indicator and for confirmations. You can use the moving average feature on trading
view and see how they work as support and resistance. There are many built in indicator like the 3SMA
indicator to work around with.
Chart patterns. The best book for studying chart pattern is the encyclopedia by Thomas Bulkowski.
I have done a tutorial on the most common chart pattern head and shoulders here.
https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1260282162403635200
You should start with studying triangles, flags, pennants, cup and handles, Adam and eve and master
them.
Few tools to add to your support and resistance arsenal are Fibonacci retracements, channels and
consolidation zones. Use these to find support and resistance and not as an independent tool
themselves.
You can enhance your support and resistance zones using Ichimoku clouds. A bit convoluted for
beginners but is a good tool. I will be providing my Bitcoin settings for Ichimoku in future.
The above topics are more than enough to get you started.
There are advanced took that I used, like Open interest, Volume profile, funding rates, However, I
suggest mastering the above topics and only then move to such topics.

Introduction.
S/R must be the most under-rated tool in trading which isn't given enough time
or attention by most beginners.
Many successful traders personally known to me rely solely on S/R. This should
speak enough for its importance.
Focus of Study.
1. Understanding Support and Resistance
2. Identifying and drawing a valid Support and Resistance line
3. Nature of Support and Resistance when it Breaks
4. Fake Breakout/Breakdown
5. Identifying entry/exit at Support and Resistance lines
6. How institutional traders stop out retail traders. (Stop loss hunting)
7. High probability entry/exit
Figure 1. Showcasing support and resistance during a downtrend
1. An area of supply/demand which acts as a probable zone for entry and exit.
2. Trending support and resistance (Trend-lines)
3. Horizontal lines denoting a price of either support of resistance. We will be studying these
horizontal lines in this module.
Figure 2. Illustration of a horizontal resistance line
A support line indicates a price where the buying pressure is more than the selling pressure,
acting as a base for an upward bounce of price.
To elaborate, the demand is greater than the supply at these levels hence an upward move in
price is generally probable.
Drawing a support line.
A good starting point is to zoom out on the time frame that you're trading and try to touch as
many lower points as logically possible.
The support should be easily visible upon minor observation and you shouldn't have to hunt or
look hard for them.
Comment -
I ac icall acce able if the support line crosses a candle/wick or doesn't touch the wick or
only touches the wick.
The o line doe n ha e o be e fec l aligned.
We are mostly looking for zones rather than a perfect straight price line.
The examples below illustrate the support line overlapping with candles and wicks or not
perfectly touching the candles. In both these examples, the support line is valid.
Resistance
Resistance line indicates the price where the selling pressure is higher than the buying
pressure.
To elaborate, the supply is greater than the demand which pulls the price lower.
The e a good obabili of ice e acing f om hi ice line.
Just like support line, zooming out on the time frame that you're trading and try to touch as many
high points.
The resistance should be easily visible upon observation and you shouldn't have to hunt or look
hard for them.
Examples of Resistance lines below.
Observation-
The chart above also shows a vital concept of fake-breakout, breakout, retrace and confirmation.
It will be explained later in detail.
Understanding Breakdown and Breakouts
A Breakout occurs when the resistance line is tested several times, leading to an increased
demand in that price zone.
This increase of demand leads to a breakout.
Opinion- The more times a resistance is tested, the weaker it becomes.
Opinion.
The more times we test a support, the weaker it becomes.
Study this chart carefully to see how Resistance level 1, when broken at 2, after formation of a
new resistance at 3, becomes a new support at 4.
This cycle continuous till the breakdown. Take some time to understand the above graph.
Uses of Support and resistance.
Intuitively the use of the support line would be to enter a long when the prices bounce off the
support line and that of the resistance line would be to go short when the price pulls back from
resistance.
However, real world trading isn his simple and he abo e sage needs nders anding of
the following
1. Breakouts, Break-down
2. Fake Breakdown/Breakout
3. Re-tests
4. Confirmations
5. Stop-loss hunting
One of the more profitable ways to use support and resistance is to use them at the
Breakdown/Breakout zone.
A Breakout leads to a strong upwards rally in price because of a huge demand at the resistance
zone. Long at the Break-out.
The exact opposite is true for breakdown, which leads to a big pullback in price. Short at the
break-down.
See pic below for Break-out and Break-Down
Below I illustrate the advanced practices used by seasoned traders to determine high probability
entries for profits.
Study of the above will help us understand how institutional traders stop out the retail traders and
provide us with a probable solution against stop loss hunting.
Institutional traders stop out BOTH Long and Short retail traders, at the same time, at a similar
price zone. A very common problem that retail traders face is being stopped out. Let us
understand stop loss hunting in detail.
But the price has a small breakout out. Triggering the stop loss of the people who went short.
This is a fake out as the price then reverses at the resistance. Even though the price goes down,
the stop loss gets hit. Here the trader loses money even after being right. This is short hunting.
With the same chart, we will study long hunting at the resistance.
The wick crosses above the resistance line, most retail traders will long here, calling it a
breakout.
The price is then reversed. Stopping out all the longs. This is long hunting at the resistance.
The same exact stop loss hunting is done at the support. Stop loss hunting for longs and shorts at
the support can be seen here.
The process of Confirmation and Retest can be used for both long and short entries
1.Confirming the Breakout
2.Confirming the breakdown
3.Confirming the support
4.Confirming the resistance
In this chart, the support is established. Then the price comes back to be retested and the support
is held and confirmed. This confirms the support line. Leading to an upwards rally.
In the same manner, a breakout from a resistance can be confirmed as shown in this chart.
The resistance is broken. The price comes back to confirms the breakout and is confirmed.
On confirmation, a high probability long entry is made.
2nd Solution
After a break-out or a bounce from the support like, wait for the price to break another resistance
above the support line or the break-out levels.
See the example below for entering a long after a bounce at support and break of resistance.
The same concepts can be applied for going short at resistance or breakdowns.
The above concepts will help all beginners from stop getting hunted by an institutional order
block.
This module has covered ALL the information you need about horizontal support and resistance
in great depth.
I will share trend-line support and resistance and Supply and Demand zone tutorials soon. Study
it multiple times and you should be good to go.

Bitcoin Price
Report
By EmperorBTC
By
1
Dear Readers,
I have nothing but a sincere and honest thank you for taking the time to read my
opinions in The Bitcoin Price Report.
This is an attempt to present you with my understanding of the previous weeks price
movement.
This will help you establish a weekly understanding of the price and make positional
trades, if you're not actively trading.
For the readers who trade actively, I have done an analysis of the shorter time frames
to help you with intraday trade setups and buy/Sell zones.
I have tried to analyze each available metric and give a commentary on it.
This report has been designed to feel like a fast sprint with a continuous burst of
knowledge. Short but intense with knowledge.
I hope you continue to be this supportive and I keep on presenting you with a high-
quality Bitcoin Price Report.
I have nothing else to offer other than my sincere hard work and honesty.
Yours,
EmperorBTC

AREA OF STUDY
For the purposes of understanding the current price movement, we will be restricting
our area of study to the above-mentioned part of the current bitcoin cycle. This area of
study will be used to find the zones of support and resistance for a prospective
movements and trade positions.
We will however study the whole of the historical bitcoin cycle in brief
at the end to Report to Establish the following:
4
The Great Resistance
This first issue has been named The great resistance because we currentl sit at a
downtrend line which has decided the phase of bitcoin price movement for the last 28
months.
I will talk in-depth about the history, importance and the role of this down-trend line
to make it clear how vital a role it plays in deciding out next trades and perhaps the
upcoming price cycle.
5
The price movement on the weekly time frame has tried multiple times to
create a new market cycle by breaking though this downtrend line.
The first attempt to change the market structure took place in between June and July
of 2019. We managed to cross this downtrend line a couple of times but never closed
above it.
The hopes of breaking this line were high in the bulls since we were testing the
downtrend line after a high momentum, high volume uptrend of 343% since the
bottom formed in December 2017.
This ended up being a failed attempt.
6
The second attempt to cross this line was between January and March 2020. We
managed to cross it once but never got above it substantially.
This too was a high-volume attempt with an uptrend of 64% but ended up failing.
We currently are at a decisive pivot. The previous weekly just closed slightly below this
line and we currently sit just above it.
7
What would constitute a clean break of this downtrend like?
8
Resistance from the Liquidity zone.
The down-trend resistance is not the only thing we need to pay attention to.
There exists a time-tested liquidity pool between 10500 and 12000 zone.
This leads to further pressure on the upward movement of the price. The price
currently must surpass both the down-trend line as well as the multi-year supply
zone.
A liquidity pool is the zone where institutional investors, giant holdings and other large
stack holders have placed their sale orders. This can be ascertained from the volume
profile and the orderbook heatmap.
We will do an in-depth analysis of the volume profile and the order-book heat-map in the next issue.
9
STUDY OF THE CURRENT PRICE STRUCTURE
MONTHLY.
Apart from the levels mentioned above, on the monthly time frame, we observe the
following
10
WEEKLY
Apart from the levels mentioned above, on the weekly time frame, we observe the following
Horizontal Supports-
8700- Closing high of May 2019, acted as support twice on resistance once on the monthly
closing.
7600- Pivot low of May end 2018, leading to a uptrend in June 2018. Acted as resistance from
Mid Nov to Dec end 2020.
7000- Pivot high for April end 2018, huge supply absorbing candle. Acted as support from Mid
Nov to Dec end 2020.
5300- Will be discussed in the next issue.
11
DAILY
Apart from the levels mentioned above, on the daily time frame, we observe the following
Horizontal Supports-
9200- Base and support from June to October 2019.
8600- Breakout pivot in mid-June 2019, acted as resistance and support at multiple time frames.
8100- Base of the daily H&S formed between Jan to March 2020.
7400- Support and base for the uptrend starting from June 2019. Acted as resistance in April 2020.
12
ANALYSIS of the Multi time-frame Support and Resistance above
Many traders fail to make efficient use of the support and resistance levels when it comes to using
them practically, especially when dealing with multiple time frames. We will try to consolidate the
S/R levels of all the time frames and try to get a clear picture.
Study-
1. The price has been in the range of 6500-10400 for the past 9 months, except for an inorganic
fall below the lower range for 18 days. (March 12-30,2020)
2. 6500 has proven to be a good base for the range expect for the inorganic fall which led to a
dump till 3900 levels. This fall only lasted for about 3 weeks and the price was back in the
range.
Conclusion- From the above data, we can conclude that there exists a good
buying/accumulation pressure below 6500 range, which pushes the price back in the range.
The above-mentioned fall took place after a formation of complex Head and Shoulders (One
bigger pattern containing a smaller pattern within itself)
The bearish target of this pattern was overextended significantly which is normal in such high-volume
long-term complex pattern.
13
Commentary- What we see right now is a completely organic, non-manipulated
ranging market. After the Breakdown from the complex head and shoulders, which
have seen a throwback to the neckline levels which proves the movement to be
within the normal market conditions.
This neckline at 8600 is now acting as a support on the daily time frame.
The current immediate and composite resistance that we face is the low of the
candles forming the top of the head and shoulders top. This has been marked in the
chart.
We now await the breaking of the above resistance to check if we can reach the upper range
of the channel. If we don't, it means the channel has squeezed down and the upper range of
10400 will reduce to 10000.
On the lower side, we wait to see if the neckline throwback support at 8600 as turned into
a base. It is likely that we might test it in future, someday. If it holds, a long entry would be
profitable.
If it doesn't, we will see a price consolidation at those levels before a dump. This
consolidation will give enough time and opportunity to short it.
14
4-hour Structure.
The 4-hour chart is very popular with most swing traders and hence its study is useful, always.
Commentary- The previous resistance at 9200 has now turned into a tested support.
An accumulation above this level will only be bullish for the price.
A break of 9200, if it happens will probably get us back to 8600 in the short term.
15
Let us now combine the current 4-hour range with the downtrend resistance.
Study- The 4-hour candles have tried to breach the downtrend line thrice.
In the first 2 attempts, it beached the downtrend line but failed to make it a support upon retest.
Currently we sit in between the downtrend line and the upper resistance. The price trying to establish
a support at 9600.
Commentary- The current price action confirms again that the downtrend line is a major resistance.
We wait for a clean support to be established on the downtrend line. It should be well accepted
that a safe long Entry can be taken once the support at the downtrend line is established, as
breaking of the upper range will then be only a matter of time. The longer we stay in this
range, the most bullish the consolidation gets.
However, We have failed twice in the past at these levels and should also be looking to enter a safe
short entry once the downtrend line is established as a resistance again.
The first target will be 9200 for a short entry after a clean break of the downtrend line.
16
FUTURE MOVEMENTS
Bullish Trade
After all the analysis above, let us try to understand the future possible trades in play.
The price is held above the downtrend line. This will lead to influx of demand after a retest and we
will at least move towards the next supply liquidity zone towards 10400.
17
Bearish Trade
As a trader, it should not be your practice to hope for a bull run all the time. What we seek is an
organic price fluctuation which follows the principles of price movement.
If we are unable to sustain above the downtrend line, we will be entering a short
trade.
This will happen upon a confirmed high volume and high momentum break of the
downtrend line which is acting as a temporary support.
The first short entry target would be 9200. A small bounce till the trend-line is
expected from this level as 9200 has acted as a resistance turned support earlier.
Once 9200 is broken, we will be looking at a short entry target of 8600, which is the
support prior to 9200.
18
Summary of trades.
A combined summary of the trades we will take once the direction is confirmed by the resistance
we face.
Long Entry
If the downtrend line is broken and price sustains above, will enter a long Entry with 10,400
the next liquidity zone as our target.
Short entry.
If the downtrend line stays intact and we reject from the current levels with confirmation,
we will short with 9200 as first target and 8600 as the second target if 9200 is broken with
momentum.
19
CYCLE STUDY
All freely traded assets, in the long-term trade in the following cycle.
1. Accumulation
2. Uptrend
3. Retracements
Accumulation is a period of consolidation, a resting phase where both the buyers and the sellers
are trying to get the stock at their desired price. The price moves in a tight range.
Uptrend is when we Breakout of the accumulation, the demand for the asset increases
substantially and We see an increase in price.
Retracement is when the people who entered earlier start taking profit, leading to a fall in price of
the asset.
20
This cycle repeats forever, or till the asset lasts.
The chart above shows the market cycle of Bitcoin which several such cycles starting and ending.
Opinion- In the latest cycle which began in the beginning of 2016, we are seeing the second phase of
accumulation.
The assumption with Bitcoin price cycles has been that we need to make a new market high to
confirm a new market cycle post accumulation.
However, in my opinion, after the influx of mainstream attention, there was an
unprecedent inflow of institutional as well as retail capital.
The institutional capital slowly withdrew its stake after mid December 2017 after we saw a massive
bull run of 2000% in a single year.
What's different about this market cycle is that we say a second wave of uptrend, beginning
Feb-2019.
This hasn't been seen in the market cycles earlier.
In the current cycle, it is my opinion that after a 2nd uptrend and 2nd retracements in the same
market cycle, we're also seeing a sign of 2nd accumulation. The 2nd accumulation level is higher
than what is was earlier in the same cycle. This is institutional accumulation.
This proves the following
1. Institutional investors are re-accumulating at a higher price since the accumulation range has
seen a higher low formed in the cycle.
2. We have already made a bottom for this cycle and are now in a phase of institutional
accumulation. A Breakout to new all times high is only a matter of time.
21
The confirmation for the incoming new all-time highs
The chart above shows the current price cycle from 2016 being divided into their respective phases.
The accumulation zone has already seen a Break-out, with a new phase forming which can in my
opinion be termed as institutional accumulation phase.
The big money in coming in, which would eventually lead to the next parabolic advance.
This will be confirmed upon the current accumulation phase crossing the institutional supply block
and closing above it. A sustained consolidation above this phase will confirm the exhaustion of supply
in this range, leading to a new parabolic advance.
The current institutional accumulation zone needs to just cross and consolidate
above the supply bloc to create a new all time high.
22
How do we know that we're in an institutional accumulation range?
-The low made after the sudden dump in March was higher than that made
previously.
-The current accumulation range is higher than the ones previously seen.
-The current phase has breached the accumulation range of the last 3
months.
The above reasons in my opinion point towards institutional accumulation
taking place.
Analysis.
We have already seen an accumulation in the current market cycle and
now entered a re-accumulation zone with higher prices. This is the zone
were the institutional money is accumulating before a new all-time high.
23
TARGET FOR THE NEXT PARABOLIC ADVANCE
While there exists many models and predictions in the market, some predicting $1million by 2022,
some $100,000 by end of 2021, I've placed my target bases solely on the following reasoning.
1. Previous price movement and linear growth percentage.
2. Combined log percentage increase with the increase in market cap.
3. Expected shift from the value of fiat market to Bitcoin.
According to my opinion, we are likely to see Bitcoin achieve a target price of 28000 to 32000 by
the end of 2022. This is far conservative than the targets estimated by many existing models.

Candlestick Guide
May 3rd 2020, 6 tweets, 2 min read
A thread. $
Candlesticks with a long tail wick, about 2-3 times their body have overcome a big
supply zone.
This means that below that candle existed a huge supply order which was absorbed .
This is generally bullish, means the demand in that zone was able to overcome the
supply.
See Pic
The same principle is applicable with candles with a long overhead wick.
This implies that the candle was not able to absorb all the supply above itself, which
is generally bearish.
I have been a full time trader for about 10 years now. First 3
years were spent in blowing up my account several times.
Relying only on money management won't work. You need an asymmetric bet. A
low probability system won't work in the long run, even with godly money
management. $
Eg. Can you consistently win at Russian roulette with good money management?
The answer is obviously no. Gambling is a low portability bet. Money management
can't earn you consistently with a low probability system.
Your system needs an edge, a probability of lot more than 50%. $
Explanation- Trading should be calm, simple and a waiting game. Your system
should tell you the entry and exit. You should not be breaking a sweat. If your
system isn't there yet, don't trade. $
You need hard-work to learn, discover, improve your system and read new things.
Use hard-work to practice, train and improvise. The actual act of performance
should be easy.
All of the above is easy. Patience to execute and wait for an entry is difficult. $
4. Your system won't work all the time and one failure will make your distrust it.
Stick to your system. If your system had been back-tested, paper-traded, stick to it.
There is no single system that works.
BUILD a one that works for you, and works good enough. $
6. Before you start trading, paper trade the live market for a few months. There is
no rush. You are not losing out on anything.
Before you start day trading, trade spot for at least a month. It gets you used to the
system and the volatility without the evils of leverage. $
7. If you're leverage trading, a stop loss is a must. Have a look at this chary from
29th November 2017. No one expected this kind of range.
Several of my friends who got in the crypto bull run bus were liquidated.
No stop loss is a quick passage to liquidation.
Most new traders want to learn a method, a trick or a strategy. This won't ever work
in the long run as the market changes. I can't tell you how many times I've to tweak
my system.. $
the outside temperature changes, when the moisture is higher, when the chemical
proprieties change due to temperature.
This saved them Pinkman and WW. $
Eg. Today itself I felt like BTC could breakdown to 8400. But as time progressed, I
made a long Entry at 8670. Fluidity in bias brings you frequent opportunities. $
..Don't ever hold onto a losing trade if there are no signs of reversal. Hopes and
prayers don't work in trading. Get out of a losing trade ASAP. Market will give you
enough opportunities. Change with the trend. $
10. I have never been able to catch the top and the bottom and have no interest (nor
the ability) to do so.
Most amount of money is made during the movement between the top and the
bottom.
Waiting for confirmations and taking lower profits will yield better result. $
Always wait for multi-level confirmations to enter a trade and an entry on multi
time frames.
This lowers the number of entries that you will find but increases the profit
probability of your trade. $
There were some tips I had off of my head. Many traders better than me could teach
you something a lot better, but this is what comes to my mind right now.

Best INDICATORS to trade Bitcoin.
A thread. $
Most new entrants to trading make a mistake of assuming indicators to be a Buy
and sell signal generator. This is a catastrophic foundation mistake.
The below formula is of a very common and most misunderstood indicator, the RSI.
Once the above principle has been engraved in our Brains, we start using them as
aids to trading.
Read through Thomas Bulkowski for getting a solid candlestick foundation and then
move to mastering Support and resistance, trend lines and Buy sell zones.
I know you'd want a quick trick or strategy to buy sell using an indicator. Trading is
hard and no strategy is everlasting.
Let us concentrate on building a solid base. Price action will beat anything.
The above belief of using indicators as an aid and now a trading signal took me
about 6 years to understand.
Understanding this while you start learning will give you a superior head start.
Conclusion.
1. Read slowly. Read as if you're studying. Study
as much as you can.

9. Conclusion
Nat re
The head and shoulders top is a reversal, bearish pattern, signifying a prospective drop in future prices.
The formation of pattern with a breakdown from its neckline(base) starts a probable bearish move.
Identification.
A prospective H&S pattern should have 3 distinct peaks. The middle peak is the head. This is the highest
point of this pattern, sitting in between 2 shorter peaks, i.e. the shoulders. There must be an overlap in
prices of these 3 distinct peaks.
The line where these prices overlap is called the neckline. A head and shoulders pattern is easily visible. So,

Note-Look for symmetry in the shoulders. A high time frame, high range pattern where the Head is not
higher than 2.5 times the shoulder range has higher chances of success.
Vol me
The consensus is that the left shoulder should have the highest volume, the head lesser and the right
shoulder the least. This isn't a rule but a general observation. It could change often.
Note- In my experience, Low volume during Breakout could hint toward a back test soon.
Occurrence
The pattern generally occurs after a substantial rise in price, i.e. it occurs when a price has significantly risen
and is looking for a reversal.
John Murphy was of the opinion that the neckline is likely to be an upward trending.
However, it can occur in a horizontal and less likely in a downward sloping
Historical performance
H/S is probably the best performing pattern, in both bull and bear markets.
Although the success rate of meeting the target calculated by range of the depth is only a little more than
50%, the rise is good enough to make ample profit.
The pattern has a low rate of failure. The patterns which fail AFTER breaking the neckline give enough
upside to exit at break-even.
Here we see a target being met and the price falling further before a throwback.
The entry is made once the neckline breaks to the downside. See the example below.
Wait for the pattern to completely form. Wait for the breach of the neckline.
The failure generally occurs when the volume showcases an anomaly, or the market structure is looking
only for a consolidation and not retracement.
To avoid the above as much as possible, a high probability entry can be entered in the following 3 manners.
Wait for the re-test in case of a low volume/ low momentum break-out. After the re-test, wait for a bounce
from the neckline and then enter.
In this case, if the Breakdown is accompanied by high momentum or high volume, a safe entry is available.
If the Break-down is such, along with breaking the neckline, a previous support is also broken, then a short
entry can be taken without a re-test after the support is broken.
Finding targets.
A common practice is to target the same number of points as is the range of the head.
I follow a Conservative method to measure from the neckline to the lowest point of the topmost candle.
Stop losses.
A method used by Peter Brandt is placing the stop loss above the high of the candle just before the
Breakout.
In my opinion this works well, however I'd place it a bit higher considering the volatility of Bitcoin.
Neck line breaks down, followed back a retest of the Neckline. Price declines again at a range equal to the
range of the head.....
Price then gets a throwback up to the neckline. The resistance at the neckline is broken.
Same general strategy can be followed for the 3 different high probability methods mentioned above.
Miscellaneo s
Sometimes the market structure see a H&S inside a H&S. The price movement for this structure is exactly
the same.
We might also come across this pattern with 2 or more shoulders on the either side. The effect on
price remains the same.
Concl sion.
Head and shoulders is a powerful pattern with high probability of success. Wait for a confirmation,
don't anticipate the pattern. Look closely at the volume during a breakdown.
Read the above MODULE a few times and you will always have this pattern at your disposal.

Analysis of thetrade executed today.
(Without typos this time)
Entry- 8930
Exit - 9645
Notice how, the chart above, the volume increased as soon as we bounced off the
upward trending trend-line, forming a new higher low.
This could be taken as a probable upward move incoming. $
After closing the then existing trade shares in twitter earlier, a new entry was made
at 8930 levels.
Multiple confirmations taken into consideration to enter the trade mentioned in the
chart.
After the entry, there was a concern if the ongoing uptrend was a temporary pump.
The price showed many retracements, consolidation, lowering of momentum at the
resistance and retests.
This led to a belief of the uptrend being organic and not a temporary pump.
I tweeted yesterday that we need to keep a close eye on these levels. The price action
then taking place mimicked the sudden dump that took place on 9th May.
However we didn't exit for the following reasons mentioned in the chart.
This might be a tough and time consuming read. There are a few new terms, you
might have to Google a little bit eventually you will get it, upon repeated reading.

Positional Altcoin Trading Strategy by EmperorBTC
Twitter- @EmperorBTC
PREMISE.
1. Stacking Bitcoin is your end and sole goal. You have no interest in accumulating Alt coins in
the long term.
2. Don't hold ANY altcoin for more than 6 months. Ever. This advice was given by the
Conclusion.
Accumulate Alts during heavy accumulation phase, sell at peak of Euphoria and get out. Forget
about it.
All of you who are new to the world of Altcoins will disagree with this, but sooner,
h gh mi ake ll realize.
This will happen to almost all coins which are currently raved as the next Bitcoin.
The blue line is the bitcoin price graph. The green line is the Altcoin market capitalization graph.
Notice how Bitcoin accumulates, breaks-out, Peak and corrects BEFORE the altcoins.
The Al c i f ll Bi c i ma ke m eme
Why does this happen?
If Bitcoin Breakouts, retail money is looking for other projects (Altcoins) which have yet not
seen a break-out.
When Bitcoin tops out, retail is looking to buy alt coins which have broken out, expecting a
new ATH.
Therefore Bitcoin is always a leading indicator for the upcoming alt cycle.
See in the chart below, other High cap Coins too mimic the bitcoin market cycle, albeit with a
delay.
This can be used to our advantage. We can be sure that the Altcoins are going to behave exactly
in the cycle which Bitcoin follows, but with a delay in time.
Conclusion.
Altcoins follow the Bitcoin price cycle; Bitcoin decides the cycle and leads. Altcoins follow the
Bitcoin pattern with a delay.
The time of heavy accumulation can be found my using the MVRV ratio indicator for Bitcoin. Since the
Bitcoin price cycle precedes Alt cycle, we need to judge the Bitcoin price cycle.
It has always been able to predict the Bitcoin top and bottom for the last 4 cycles.
I s a ra ion be een he marke cap of bitcoin and the realized market cap.
Realized market value is calculated by aggregating the unspent output from bitcoin transactions and
assigning a price based on the BTCUSD market price at the time when said the said unspent output from
bitcoin transactions last moved.
Here is the MVRV ratio chart, notice how it makes a low and a peak with Bitcoin.
To judge the Bitcoin cycle, we now have an additional tool in hand, which happens to be
derived from unspent output from bitcoin transactions, also called as UTXO.
The probably peak, accumulation of UTXO can also be used to conclude the current stage of
bitcoin cycle.
MVPV ratio, was only released in Early 2018 to the public, however the study of difficulty peak,
demand heat maps and unspent output from bitcoin transactions gave the same result and the
ratio always existed.
Second indicator to be used is the Puell Indicator. This is a measure of the daily market value of
the Bitcoin issue divided by its 365 days Moving averages.
It has always in the past cycles predicted the bottom accumulation.
Notice the price accumulating, peaking and bottoming along with the accumulation. This tool
can too be used to find the heavy accumulation start for Bitcoin. More info about it here
https://www.lookintobitcoin.com/charts/puell-multiple/
COIN SELECTION CRITERIA
1. Wait for Bitcoin to enter heavy accumulation. Derive confirmation from the UTXO ratios and liquidity
Heat maps. Use the MVRV ratio to find the period of bottoming out and entry into
accumulation phase. Confirm accumulation on Puell Multiple.
2. Look for projects which promise no one else is promising. Coins like IOTA promised to integrate
machinery with Internet to connect us better with them E.g. Connecting all electronic devices together,
basically it was an array into Internet of things. NEO promised to put all of China's retail supply on Block
chain.
BUT these promises were new, created hope and were eye catching.
Look for coins which promises something new, never heard below and pretends to be delivering them.
3. It should be shilled heavily by multiple influencers which have new followers. Social media is where a
lot of new entrants are. Influencers ho aren hemsel es echnicall a are provide a pathway to
beginners in simple language and mostly promises of getting rich.
The coin that I bought was shilled continuously by one of the BIGGEST YouTube crypto channels. He's a
guy from China, people trust him. He for the founder of the coin to come to his channel and tell about
his coin (Obviously it was a paid promo but wasn't disclosed)
4. The founder should show their faces. ICOs and Altcoins are full of scams. There have been several
instances when after raising the initial round, they coin exit scams. Here is an example out of many
https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/01/29/cryptocurrency-prodeum-scam-exit-penis/
So, the founder showing his face, his background and having a public presence where he's accountable
and can be traced gives a higher credibility to a coin.
Valutiaon around 50 is preferred. Will talk about this valuation method in future, but you can read more
in the link.
Conclusion- Look for coins with new unique promises, being shilled via video, the founder is known.
Instead of diversifying into 50 Altcoins which had questionable managements, I chose just 3 coins.
The methods adopted in the chart and the markings have been explained
below.
1. IHS
2. Cup and Handle
3. Adam and Ever bottom
Almost all these low liquid coins form this pattern before the break-out, the reason simple
being that these are the patterns formed when a coin is accumulated slowly at it s lowest or
median daily prices.
We will be discussing these patterns in future.
Post Break-out.
You need to look for continuous highs and new levels being created. If these levels keep on
forming, you can be holding them. I have discussed supports turning into resistance in a threat
on twitter, you can read it here. https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1256272009543118851
If this trend is stopped, you must exit.
Volume check.
These coins went to make about a 6500% rise from accumulation, meaning the investors who
invested $1000 dollars ended with $63000.
Since my position was a pretty larger one, I had to average down.
My net profit on this trade was 52X, which is a lot less than a lot of people made with other
100x coins.
Thankfully, by the time of exit, this coin had by that time been listed in Bitfinex, Bittrex, Binance
and hence there was enough liquidity for me to exit.
My capital invested was about $100K and had to be a careful buy since low liquid coins could
simple pump with any small buys.
Conclusion.
Study the Bitcoin cycle. Wait for it to enter a heavy accumulation phase. Use the MVRV
indicator, Puell Multiple, Buy/Sell Heat maps to ensure this.
Look for coins which haven t pumped, which satisfy the COIN SELECTION CRITERIA.
Then see if the chosen coins fit the Technical Analysis criteria.
Accumulate slowly in the range.
Test repeatedly for S/R flip and volume confirmation.
This was my method. I aimed this article to explain my choice of trading Alts, which is different
from the generally accepted path of diversifying into 50 projects.
