For the last 20 days, Bitcoin price has been see-sawing amongst key resistance and support levels, $36k and $31k, respectively. Considering this, it would be fair to expect the Bitcoin trading volume to diminish. However, certain traders are busy as usual, betting on Bitcoin’s uneventful pattern, essentially hoping prices do not break out in the short term.

When it seems to be a boring summer, options traders have figured out a strategy to reverse this unexciting situation. Some options traders are placing “short strangles” — basically a bet that Bitcoin will continue to see-saw in the range it is currently trapped in.

A short strangle is a strategy in options that requires the investor to place one short call and one short put, with the short call having a higher strike price compared to the short put. Also, the investors should settle an identical expiration date and underlying asset on the calls — in this case, Bitcoin. Thus, if the asset price remains between the strike prices, the options will expire worthlessly and the investor will keep whatever premium it got for the options.

QCP Capital, a Singapore-based trading firm, asserted that they are using the “short strangles” strategy to benefit the current state of affairs. “Our favorite trade continues to be short BTC strangles within the $30,000 to $40,000 range. With psychological resistance at $40,000 and strong support at $30,000, there’s a good chance that BTC trades in this $10,000 range in the near future, which would likely cause implied volatility to collapse,” the firm said in a Telegram post.

While stating that the lack of momentum in the Bitcoin market has amplified their conviction, the firm declared their intentions to continue using this strategy up until August. “Right now, our trading plan follows the 2018 BTC analog where we expect a dampened trading environment from here to August (short volatility), followed by a rally,” QCP Capital said.

Pankaj Balani, CEO of Delta Exchange, affirmed that most traders are presently using this strategy. “It’s the most popular trade right now. For July, open interest remains highest for $30,000 strike puts, and $40,000 strike calls as traders write this range to collect the premiums,” he stated.

However, it is good to point out that this type of trade is quite risky while offering a very limited profit. If the market breaks out in any direction, either up or down, the investor would endure amplified losses.

Facebook Bitcoin Scammers Target Aussie Celebs to Con Investors

Fraudsters and Facebook are profiting from scam ads featuring photos of popular Australian TV hosts that convince unwary Aussies to part with their cash and invest in bitcoin. You might expect this scam on an obscure internet chat room, maybe on the darknet, but nope, con-artists are using the world’s most popular social media platform and one of its biggest ad platforms to do it – and as far as Facebook is concerned it’s OK by them.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Upward Drift Continues Following Established Macro Support

Since mid-February, the bitcoin market has continued to drift upward toward a band of strong, macro resistance (shown below as a red band). This slow, drift upward marks our fourth test of the resistance zone and, unlike the three prior tests, our rejection of the level has shown a weakness on the side of the bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth RejectionIf we compare the three prior rejections (labeled 1, 2 and 3), we see that the move into this resistance level was violent — and had equally violent rejections.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Slow Grind Could Lead to Short Squeeze

Last Friday, we discussed a macro resistance level bitcoin would likely test. The level was tested three times prior and immediately rejected. Now, for the fourth time, we find ourselves situated above the level as we wait to see if our support holds:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth Test of Macro ResistanceThe first three attempts to hold support above the black, broken resistance have been stifled with relatively high amounts of volume.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.
