This large, bullish Gartley pattern is nearing completion and indicates that price will begin to climb soon. I have set out the pattern with point D very near to 9000, so will be looking for price to drop to there before going long, targeting the 61.8% level of X to C. I will activate the trade once I believe the pattern is complete.
This is part 2 of this idea, I originally spotted the pattern on 8th Jan and managed to get a short position in to profit from the major selloff.

Looking for any reversal signs here, we are not at D yet but we are close enough to be worried about missing our entry

hmmm, BTC catching a bid at the moment. Don't want to miss the move but I'm not yet convinced enough that the downtrend is done

I'm going to open an order to buy at 10,000. Will update if I feel the need to open manually

I forgot to update before but if you refresh the chart you can see that BTCUSD came right up to our target level before reversing :)
@jackjamesholmes - may i ask you what your thoughts are on this now?
are you expecting a second drop down to below sub 9000?
thank you

@digitalwhisper, no. Quite simply, I think I missed the bottom and I don't want to chase it now unless it does come back down. Annoying really because I think that it shows that the trade idea was a good one but I wasn't ready to act when the price started rising again.
I am confident it will keep rising to at least my target, so up to you if you want to jump in now but I already have a set of Bitcoin positions so don't need to add. I will keep my order in at 10000 in case it does go down again.
are you expecting a second drop down to below sub 9000?
thank you
