b) Volume is used to confirm a price' trend : If price has been dropping in shorter time-frames (hours and days) and so the volume levels, this indicates that the downtrend is weak and a bullish pattern may start soon..
c) If price is rising and volume is decreasing, a reversal (bearish pattern) is likely to happen.
d) Support (bottom limit) & Resistance (top limit) :
Sense of Volatility
Direction of Price
When to sell and When to buy
b) Price Pattern : Triangles patterns are considered the most reliable and are formed every time Support and Resistance lines converged.
Measuring the external distance between Support and Resistance in the triangle, gives idea of the length of the price move up or down.
Ascending triangle : Resistance line is almost horizontal whereas Support line is diagonal and indicates a bullish pattern to follow.
Descending triangle : Resistance line is diagonal whereas Support line is almost horizontal and indicates a bearish pattern to follow.
c) Most Effective Technical Indicators :
If price is below the 200EMA this point is seen as a strong area of Resistance
If price is above the 200EMA this point is seen as a strong area of Support
If a shorter time-frame like 20 EMA crosses the 200EMA from above is a sign of a downturn
If the 20EMA crosses the 200EMA from below is a sign of a uptrend
b) If MACD' lines are crossing each other, it signals a change in the direction of price in the short term, usually pointed by the bars.
b) The closer the lines are the lower the volatility is, which is a good time to buy at the bottom or just below the line
a) Fear & Greed Index : Volatility (V) + Trading Volume (TV) + Social Media Sentiment (SMS) + Bitcoin Dominance (BD) + Google Search Trends (GST).
If V is high, TV is low, SMS is negative , BD is high and GST is low = Fear territory
If V is low, TV is high , SMS is positive, BD is low and GST is high = Greed territory
This index is updated daily.
b) Bull and Bear Index : Focus on BTC sentiment on social media (Bitcointalk.org, Reddit and Twitter), Updated every hour.
If Sentiment is increasing but price is still static, it may signal an opportunity to get in early before price pumps.
If Sentiment is increasing but price is starting to fall, it may indicates is time to sell.
Sentiment + Trend is a more reliable approach
If market is trading sideways and sentiment continues to fall, a reversal is on the horizon.
