Feb 04 2018(Time: 20:00 UTC): ETHUSD is NOT a buy based on Volume Profile Analysis

in #ethereum7 years ago (edited)

This post is a continuation of my previous post on ETHUSD titled Jan31 2018(19:00 UTC): ETHUSD is NOT a buy due to bearish flag/wedge formation(continuation of downtrend)

For the next few days, I think its best to first look at daily charts to confirm a bullish trend and then enter market for 15 min quickies. I would not take longs, until and unless, 20MA is moving upwards.

Since Jan 09 2018, the volume indicator OBV has been in a downward trend. Even though the price improved, it has been resilient/persistent in its downtrend. Therefore, whether I am in profit or loss with ETH, I would place stop-limit orders to sell and buy in at a cheaper price.

To make an entry at cheaper prices, in this notes, I’m using Volume Profile indicator provided in tradingview.com (For more info, please ref: https://www.tradingview.com/wiki/Volume_Profile)

Screenshot of ETHUSD(Coinbase) daily chart:
Feb03_2018_ETH_24hour_chart_Showing_Ichimoku_Cloud.png

From the above chart, it appears that if the daily candles drop down below Lead 2 of Ichimoku Cloud, then the candles could slide further down. I’d be waiting until Feb 05 2018 to know if the candles will indeed slide below Lead 2 of Ichimoku Cloud.

If they did drop down below the Ichimoku cloud, where is the next support? Obviously the next support is near the 200 day EMA(red string). Over a period of time, candles will meet 200day EMA between $600 to $700 USD. 200day EMA is around the average price one would be willing to pay for ETH in that particular year(In this case, it is 2018).

Screenshot of ETHUSD(Coinbase) 12 hour chart showing higher probability of price support:

The above 12 hour chart shows a higher probability of ETHUSD support price.The horizontal dark-green line is the Point of Control(POC). In the best case, ETHUSD may reach this POC before it stabilizes and/or reverses its trend. Its around 700 dollars….

The above 12 hour chart shows the worst case for ETHUSD. The dark brown line is the Point of Control(POC). In the worst case, ETHUSD may reach this POC before it stabilizes and/or reverses its trend. Its around 300 dollars….

Therefore, I think ETH is not a buy, may be a hold or a sell as of today(Feb 04 2018, Time: 20:42 UTC)!…Please let me know what you think!

More Details will follow as time permits. Please let me know if I am missing anything…..
