00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,760
Hello and welcome back to Cryptocurrency Trading Masterclass in this video, we'll take a look at some
2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,950
examples on how to use Bollinger bands in real life, as it were.
3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,930
So let's go ahead on this Bitcoin chart.
4
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:19,000
And the Bollinger Band Indicator.
5
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:26,820
And you can see that if you remember, there was a time after the big retail.
6
00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:37,220
Collabs that basically the markets did nothing and, you know, for a while right around, like right
7
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:42,350
here, just above six thousand, you see the volunteer bands get skinny and then they get wider and
8
00:00:42,350 --> 00:00:44,240
then they get skinny, they wider and et cetera.
9
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:46,400
So remember, that does mean something.
10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:59,830
And this was a classic signal to go long, and that's because the Bollinger bands started to widen the
11
00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:07,980
moving average, the median in the middle started to turn higher and you can see that the price broke
12
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:08,300
out.
13
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:11,050
So this tells you that something's changing.
14
00:01:13,390 --> 00:01:17,980
So as you look at this, you have a market that's very quiet, right?
15
00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:21,680
Let's go ahead and draw a line.
16
00:01:24,620 --> 00:01:29,000
At basically twelve thousand five hundred.
17
00:01:29,940 --> 00:01:30,810
Or so.
18
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,000
And you can see that we stumbled here a little bit and then we kind of fell back and then we broke here.
19
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:43,780
Well, there's two different reasons to think that this is a good trade.
20
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:49,050
Or at least a good signal to get long, because we've broken resistance.
21
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:57,430
We've broken the top of the Bollinger band, and keep in mind, it's based on the last 20 candlesticks
22
00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:03,490
or 20 bars in this case, so the average will take wider.
23
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:07,140
Or take longer to widen out like it is.
24
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:15,400
So the fact that it's above this after this type of action, not necessarily a something that you need
25
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:18,920
to be concerned about in the sense that it's not, oh, my God, it's over, robot.
26
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,430
I need to start selling it because it's opening up now.
27
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:25,670
It takes, you know, when the deviations are this far apart.
28
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:30,680
And if you get like a, you know, a move all the way up here, for example, then yes, you have an
29
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,010
argument to be made for that.
30
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:35,300
This just shows you that business is picking up.
31
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:43,290
So you could have bought anywhere along this support level and the nice thing about the Bollinger band
32
00:02:43,290 --> 00:02:43,860
is.
33
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:52,290
You can see that it really held up nicely and it wasn't and it really comes down to you, do you want
34
00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:57,180
to take profit when it breaks down through the average?
35
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:04,170
Or do you want to wait until it breaks down through the bottom part of the volunteer band indicator,
36
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,820
that could have been done either way?
37
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,440
Which would have you all the way up to thirty thousand after an entry at around 12 and a half, so clearly
38
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:20,210
that could have been an extraordinarily big deal.
39
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:27,340
Now, if you want to look at tighter time frames like the hourly chart.
40
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:31,530
You're in an uptrend, so.
41
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:37,680
You know, based upon the daily that we had to show, so that eliminates all selling, I mean, you
42
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,320
can trade countertrend, but it's a great way to lose money.
43
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:44,200
At least until something major breaks in the market.
44
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:50,440
Well, right now, nothing major is broken and you'll notice that the band continues to tilt higher.
45
00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:57,340
The last few last day or so, as I record this has drifted a bit lower.
46
00:03:58,510 --> 00:03:59,560
But notice something.
47
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:08,220
Resistance, resistance, resistance broken above it, we're kind of dipping a little bit below it here.
48
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:12,370
I'd call that 38000, so pay close attention.
49
00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:16,400
One way you could play this is if we break back above.
50
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,410
The 20 Esmay, the 20 simple moving average.
51
00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:29,150
Then we're probably going to see another move like this or like this will be a continuation of what's
52
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:29,680
going on.
53
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:35,020
Regardless, you don't have a cell signal right now, even though it drifted lower.
54
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,950
Yes, you could say, all right, well, we broke down here.
55
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,870
It failed here.
56
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,970
Maybe I should be selling.
57
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Problem is, it's an hourly chart.
58
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:44,760
It's probably a small move.
59
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,350
At best.
60
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,210
You're in an extraordinarily bullish uptrend as shown on the daily chart.
61
00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:53,380
You don't want to try to short this.
62
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,050
I mean, really, it could go all the way down to thirty thousand and still be well-supported.
63
00:04:58,980 --> 00:05:01,110
So the odds are just not in your favor.
64
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,410
And that's really what what trading is.
65
00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:06,680
It's, you know, are the odds in your favor.
66
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,570
You know, you take the the, the odds in your favor trades and over the longer term you make more money.
67
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:17,970
So this to me isn't necessarily a sell signal, but the fact that we're right here at potential support
68
00:05:18,450 --> 00:05:21,590
and if we can cross that, then I think that's a good sign.
69
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:25,060
You.
70
00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:30,410
Have seen on the daily chart.
71
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:33,650
Go back to the daily here, you have seen where.
72
00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:44,210
You profited from what is known as the squeeze know we're squeezing and then we're breaking back out.
73
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,280
The.
74
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:56,720
Market trading inside the bands now, this is it's easier to do on the daily chart, but you need some
75
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,640
type of lack of trend and that's just not the case right now.
76
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:03,740
But on the 30 minute chart, you can go back and forth.
77
00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:06,920
You can see sell by, sell by.
78
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:13,650
If you sell it there, you're starting to see a break out of the bands that tells you that's not the
79
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:15,840
kind of trading you want to be doing anymore.
80
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:17,460
Now you're buying it on the dips.
81
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:20,720
So theory.
82
00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:25,790
Add the Bollinger bands to this as well.
83
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Notice how wide it has gotten after squeezing that tells you that.
84
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:36,710
Volatility is picking up.
85
00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:44,810
Now, let's try to find some type of order in all of this, and I would say somewhere right around here,
86
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,990
there is going to be support or resistance.
87
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:52,170
So I'm going to mark this as 1500.
88
00:06:54,430 --> 00:07:00,430
With the understanding that it probably based on what we've seen in the past.
89
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:03,070
Probably more.
90
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:07,510
Something like this.
91
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,840
And this happens.
92
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,510
It's probably like a fifty dollar thick support line.
93
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:18,700
Is the best way to put it.
94
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:21,490
So what I would be waiting for.
95
00:07:23,140 --> 00:07:30,610
He's either a cross above the moving average now that we have bounced significantly, this this bar
96
00:07:30,610 --> 00:07:32,260
is kind of a significant bar.
97
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:36,090
And we'll talk about that, it's something known.
98
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:41,010
When you do a candlestick, it's something known as a hammer.
99
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,880
So I'm looking for this fifteen hundred level to offer a bit of support, once you cross the moving
100
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:55,160
average, the median, then you're looking to probably aim towards the other side.
101
00:07:56,290 --> 00:08:00,640
And then at that point, you can make a decision to take profit or you can make a decision to ride it
102
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,540
out until we break through the bottom of the Bollinger band again.
103
00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:07,430
So.
104
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:17,060
If you really want a day trade back and forth, you can, but again, I would highly recommend that
105
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:20,330
you just stick with the longer term trend if you are going to do that.
106
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,420
Depending on where you're trading, crypto can be difficult to trade data because the spreads can be
107
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:31,440
wide and want to say day trader, I mean in and out in a matter of minutes.
108
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,630
It's one thing to hold on to it for eight hours.
109
00:08:33,630 --> 00:08:36,420
It's another thing to hold on to it for eight minutes.
110
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:42,320
This is just a strong uptrend.
111
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:46,910
I mean, every time he came back to the moving average, the middle part, you could have been a buyer.
112
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Pretty straightforward, pretty tight.
113
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,150
You know, here's that squeeze again, and you can see once you start breaking out of the Bollinger
114
00:08:56,150 --> 00:09:01,130
Band, yes, it is a little overdone, but we find support again right at the median.
115
00:09:01,460 --> 00:09:03,110
Walk it right back up.
116
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:04,840
So again.
117
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:11,160
That's pretty strong, and like I said, most of the time, your stop loss is going to be on the other
118
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:11,850
side of the band.
119
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:18,210
So if you break out, your stop loss goes on the other side and that's OK, because when you get a move
120
00:09:18,210 --> 00:09:18,780
like this.
121
00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:23,480
Although the stop loss might be a little bigger, a little farther distance.
122
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,830
Then you're comfortable with the reality is, is when you get a move like this, it typically signifies
123
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:31,890
something bigger, so you're aiming for more.
124
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:37,050
If you put your stop loss on the other side of the indicator, you didn't get stopped out, you know,
125
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:41,430
you got in somewhere around here, your original stop loss was right in this area.
126
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:43,140
You got stopped out up here.
127
00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:46,200
You know, poke down there, probably took you out.
128
00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:55,950
Pretty straightforward, you know, some people will just go back and forth and the band's nonstop,
129
00:09:55,950 --> 00:10:03,960
but over time you'll learn that following the higher time frame trend is going to be by far your best
130
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,420
friend.
131
00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:09,330
I mean, yes, you could have made money selling a theory and at that point.
132
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:15,580
But the reality is that every time it pulls back like that, the move higher is much bigger.
133
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:19,710
So really, you know, you don't need to capture every move.
134
00:10:19,710 --> 00:10:22,630
You just need one or two good moves to make a nice return.
135
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,350
So I would definitely pound that into your head.
136
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:35,930
And the next video, we'll talk about how to trade with trend based indicators and how to trade based
137
00:10:35,930 --> 00:10:39,020
upon trend following indicators.
