1. Analysis of BCH/USDT volume from Binance cryptocurrency exchange
The analysis is based on the horizontal volumes data on daily charts from the Binance exchange. The analysis is carried out based on the footprint-profile theory. According to the theory, the direction of the horizontal level with the highest trade volume within a day can indicate the likely direction of the trend. The highest trade volume is the level with the largest number of transactions carried out. That is, it is the level of major market players. Accordingly, if the highest trade volume level goes up, it indicates an upward trend. Otherwise, if the highest trade volume level goes down, it indicates a downward trend. Chaotic movements signal that the market is trading flat.
15.02.21 – the highest horizontal volume level; point of control (POC) = 687
16.02.21 – the highest horizontal volume level; point of control (POC) = 700
The point of control has moved up. The price level is above the POC. The upward trend seem to have started. Therefore, one can open long positions.
2. Analysis of long-term trend
A trend is your friend. Many traders know this saying but do not know how to use it. The answer is simple: to trade only in the direction of a trend. Thus, your trades will have more profit potential with less risk. According to the classic Dow theory, there are three main trends:
long-term
medium-term
short-term
These are the trends you should analyze before entering the market. Now, let's take a closer look at these trends.
The long-term trend is the daily trend. In this case, deals are made in the daily time frame and are held for several days. The analysis of the daily trend is made with the help of the 48-period exponential moving average (EMA(48)). If the daily candlestick closes above EMA(48), it will indicate the upward trend. Therefore, you should enter long. If the daily candlestick closes below EMA(48), then it is the downward trend and you should enter short.
The chart indicates the upward trend. The price level is above EMA(48). This is why you should consider entering long.
3. Analysis of medium-term trend
The medium-term trend is the trend on the 4-hour chart (H4). In this case, we will also turn to EMA(48). If the candlestick closes above EMA(48) on the 4-hour chart, it will indicate the upward trend. Thus, you should enter long. Otherwise, if the candlestick closes below EMA(48) on the H4 chart, it will indicate the downward trend. Consequently, you should enter short.
The price level is above EMA(48). The medium-term upward trend coincides with the long-term one. Therefore, one should open long positions.
4. Analysis of short-term trend
A short-term trend is the trend in the H1 time frame. Moreover, it can show an entry point into the market well. We will turn to EMA(48) again. If the candlestick closes above EMA(48) on the H1 chart, it will indicate the upward trend. Thus, you should enter long. Alternatively, if the candlestick closes below EMA(48), it will indicate the downward trend. Consequently, you should enter short.
The The price is above EMA(48), indicating a short-term downward trend. The long-term, the medium-term, and the short-term trend coincide. Thus, you can buy the pair.
5. Japanese candlestick analysis
A classic Japanese candlestick analysis is applied to the daily timeframe. In this particular analysis, we will also look at the daily candlestick.
Thus, we have a black downward daily candlestick. Its extreme points are iside the extreme levels of the previous candlestick. It is a hammer candlestick pattern with a long uppert shadow. The downward movement is highly likely.
