After cleaer breakdown, BTC price is consolidating around 3400 price level. If we zoom out, we see clearly that it is targeting next weekly support at 2900-3000 area.
If we check the history, the second news today shared in this update (When Bitcoin’s Price Breaks Down, It Follows a Pattern), shows us something very interesting. Last few years, BTC price always used to create triangle and the outcome was always the same, breakdown. But after that breakdown, the outcome was always the same, uptrend.

Shorts at new all time high (ATH)
It is clear that Bitcoin price was a bubble. Too high or too much of everything can cause a bubble, like a Tulip bubble.
Our channel warned the community on December 17th, 2017 of potential bubble just few hours before the beginning of the drop.
Now we warns you of potential short positions bubble, also known as, short squeeze.
https://www.tradingview.com/x/G0q0nb74/
https://www.tradingview.com/x/yY15RcyY/
Once we hit the support, the area of interest for whales, move of $500-1000 could happen in couple of minutes and close all these short positions.
Every opened long position has to be close by openingn short one. Every short opened position has to be closed by opening the long one.
All these short positions are going to become long sooner or later. It is automatiaclly buy. Even if the market is bearish, once the stop loss area is reached by small pump, the chain reaction could create huge spike.
If that happens, I am sure it will because all types of bubbles come to an end sooner or later, your stop loss if you were short wont be filled at your price but it can be filled few dollars or in extreme situations even few hundred dollars from yout stop loss price. If you remember in August 2018 when Bitmex was down, the chain reaction happened that pumped BTC from 6400 all the way up to 7100. Some of our friends get stopped out even $300 from their stop loss prices. If you are using too big position, it could literally vanish your whole account.
Be careful!

Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/9G6Ejuts/
BTC made very nice bounce off yesterday and today holding above $3300 area. If this daily candle closes above 3400 forming doji candle, we may see green day tomorrow that can spark the potential uptrend that can lead us towards testing important daily resistance at 3700 area.
BTC shorts are still ridiculously high and that is something that is just the question of time when short squeeze is going to happen and we are going to see big spike up. Simply, every opened short position has to be closed by opening long position.
Shorts are at all time high, so it is huge number of longs that are going to be opened sooner or later.
So even if the market sentiment is very bearish, just quite small manipulation by whales can hit the stop loss area and start the chain reaction.
Keep that in mind when you are shorting. It is still profitable because price is keeps going down but always keep your stop losses tight.

Technical analysis

H1 time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/Pc5TAmQZ/
Considering daily close, 2 strong bounces, lower volume on second drop also known as bullish divergance, potential invesrse H&S price pattern, we do believe that if we see price above 3500, we can expect to see at least test of 3800 resistance area.
The whole market is extremely bearish, eveyone is talking of price going to zero, eveyon is talking about selling but the truth is that volume is not confirming these talks. The sellers were more intense on previous drop than this time.
We do believe that market could see some green days. It is too far from end of bear market, but some kind of positive consolidation could happen.
The number of shorts that are reaching all time high are also scary because who will pay these shorts? Be sure that the majority will never feed the minority!
So, we are too far from even thinking of end of bear market. We do believe that it will last for at least couple of months and it is perfect for everybody to accumulate. We think Bitcoin will visit below 3k sooner or later but it looks not this time. The market is too one sided that even small whales manipulation can pump the price, make them profit that will be used for accumulation once price approaches these and lower levels again.

Someone just swooped up ~$50M of ETH pushing the price up $10 from $85 and $95. Don’t expect ETH prices to hang around here for 6 months to a year.
The bullishness resulted by pushing the price up above 3500 and it is now approaching new resistance at 3600 and we think it will try to test further resistance at 3700 and 3800.

Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/UBThDQea/
Hourly time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/FAuIu7TJ/
After BTC achieved some of our long targets, it still has room to grow. Next long target is 3700 and if that one gets broken with good volume, we can see very nice up move.
In order to see new up move, we need to stay above green area around 3450. As long as we are above this price area, the uptrend is likely to happen because of bullish momentum on higher time frames such as 1D.
But considering weekly bearish close, this up move has chance to go up to 3900 and that's probably the highest target and after that, because of bearish weekly close, we may see price again in this or even lower areas.
Anything above 3900 would spark the hope for end of local downtrend but for that we need weekly close above 4100. This is too far but since it is Monday, we think it is important to mention weekly levels because this time frame plays very important role and decides a lot of movement that gets later confirmed on lower one such as D1 and H4.
So, our current situation after good yesterday's long trade is to wait for next trigger. We need few rejections from this 3450 support area to confirm that support is active. Then we would like for new long trade with targets around 3650-3700 area.
If we see break through the support area with higher volume, we would start looking for short entries.

Why Billionaire Investors Remain Positive on Long-Term Trend of Crypto
Many billionaire investors in the traditional financial market who remain optimistic towards the long-term trend of crypto.
It is December 11th, 2018
BTC dominance is currently at 55.0% (-0.1%). The total market cap is currently at $110.5 billion (- $1.9 billion). The market volume of the last 24 was $13.1 billion (- $1.1 billion).
As there is no significant news, we do not want to cover you with news about some banks and things like that. We would rather take time to share our view of current market situation and what could happen in upcoming days/weeks.
As you all now, Bitcoin has dropped from accumulation area of 6k all the way down to low 3k area and now we are testing long term weekly support levels.
So far, the first one at 3600 was broken and the price is heading towards next one in 2900-3000 area.
But, downtrend doesn't mean straight move down same as the uptrend doesn't mean straight line up. Check the uptrend from 2017 and you will see a lot of retracements of even 50% and after that we managed to go up.
So, that being said, even in extremely bearish market, you have to know that there will be up moves too and for traders, even move of $50-100 is enough to stop out them. That's why we suggest you to wait for right setup and only once it gets confirmed, you should enter the position.
Let's check the chart and see where are the important areas.
4h time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/8ezuXfl2/
This one shows us very clear where are the important areas. We have 2 trading areas.
First one is 4350-3650 and second one is 3650-3300.
We are currently in the middle of second trading area and any trade would be naive move because this is the area where at the higher time frame everything is possible. Price manipulation, 5m candle fo $200, everything is possible because it wont affect higher picture too much. Because it can happen and wont affect higher time frames such as daily and weekly, this move could be in any direction.
BTC dropped 50% in less than a month and now newbies are starting to short it 🙈
Easy money on short position has gone.
Most of traders ignore trading volume. Look at the volume. It is constantly dropping and by dropping it is forming bullish divergance. Volume bullish divergance is one of the strongest signs you may get. It means that leading trend is losing strength.
The point of this post is to give you an overal point. Even if that is dropping, do not short is just because it is dropping but rather wait for safe trade setup. On the other side, do not long just because we are too low but again wait for confirmation and safe entry.
Considering that we are in the middle of the trading area, the trading is suggested at the lower or upper side of the trading channel. In case we leave this channel from above or below, the perfet trade would be on retest.
Focus on confirmation and waiting for trade setup. Once it happens, enter the trade and wait for profit to come.
The second trading channel is important because it will determine the next few dasy/weeks. If it enters uppwer trading channel, we can see BTC again above 4000. On the other side, if we see drop outside of this trading channel, new low is probably going to be established and we will move towards next weekly support at 2900.

The news is 7 days old but since the Ethereum Classic didn't see major dump, we think that sharing now has a lot of value to ETC holders.
32
A leading development firm behind Ethereum Classic (ETC) will be shutting down immediately. ETCDev had struggled to raise sufficient funds in order to continue its operations. The company, which had been in operation for two and a half years, said its financing issues partly stemmed from the crypto market downturn.
This is one of the issues that coins are facing with in this bear market. This is the reality of bear market. Coin holders are not the only that are facing with financial losses but also companies such as ETC Dev.
This is a warning for ETH holders. This is not a sell off action. This could be also manipulation by their team. This is just warning for you to take attention. Maybe solution could be to tight up your stop loss. It is up to you. We wanted to warn you because there is no point in holding coins that could go to zero.
Warn your friends too 🙏

BTC dominance is currently at 55.0% (+0.0%). The total market cap is currently at $109.5 billion (- $1.0 billion). The market volume of the last 24h was $12.7 billion (- $0.4 billion).
Fundamental side of the crypto market is still full of news about mainstream adoption, banks and similar things. We are not saying that it is not important but at the moment, these news are not affecting crypto market directly but indirectly that will be visible in the future. Mainstream adoption is slow proces but the proces that will positively affect the price in the future.

Considering these 2 charts, we are still in the middle of nowhere. We are too far from next weekly support at around 2900 but also we are too far from 3700-3800 area that will be bullish sign if gets crossed.
Now, at this moment we have few important price levels. First one is red line that is considered as the border between bullish and bearish area. Also, do now forget bullish divergance on daily time frame. Our 3300 level on h4 resisted all tests and still holding.
In general, the situation is not clear. We should wait for clear sign. The only clear sign is that opening swing short is not that smart idea at this price. It is better to wait for up move and to think of shorting after that move that could be even to 4500 area.
Once we decide to enter swing position, we are going to share with you!

December 2017 vs December 2018
It looks like there is something magical about December. Last year, it was the time of the biggest euphoria in the market and this year it is the time of the biggest panic in the market.
In this post, our team would like to go through this market cycle and give you an overview.
It all started in Mart-April 2017 when the spark of the bull market did happen. We tested all time high for the first time after almost 4 years. New all time was established but after that we got rejected. Price dropped to $800 area.
At that time, everybodies get excited about Bitcoin. They dreamed of $3000. At that time $5000 target would magical target.
It happened. June 2017 was the month when we reached $3000 but we was heavily rejected. Price dropped below $1800. The reason was Bitcoin hard fork. At that time, very few people understood the meaning of hard fork. They thought that Bitcoin will disappear since it is going to be splitted into 2 new coins. We were in the bear market, price dropped almost 40%. The panic was everywhere.
Then, all of a sudden, the market got information that these who hold Bitcoin are going to get new coin for "FREE". That was explaination of hardfork and the reason why Bitcoin rallied to new all time high all the way up to $5000. The magic target was reached in September.
New FUD. China is going to ban crypto trading. New drop!
This time price dropped from 5000 all the way down to $3000. It was one more time drop of 40% that happened in less than a week.
It was the time everybody was scared. China is one of the top world's countries. This was not joke or rumour. The ban actually happened. They banned crypto exchanges.
Did this stop the bull run?
You already know the answer. This was the last correction before the biggest bull run that happned so far. People were euphoric. Everybody was buying. USDT was printed almost every day. New money was coming.
These who targeted $5000 became greedy and started to target $10000. It happened. $10000 has been reached. They wanted more. They targeted $20000.
$20000 has been reached. They wanted more and they targeted $50000.
It was the time when common sense was out of the game. The greed was at all time high. I wish I bought at $5000 was the most used phrase. I wish....
The market reached $20000 and just few days after that we were testing $10 000.
People were hoping to see $20 000 again so they can book the profit. Price went to $17000 and dropped all the way down to $6000. Market was shocked. They were hoping for $15 000 so they can book the profit. Price went up to $12 000, they didn't sell and price dropped again. They started to hope for $12 000 to happen so they can book the profit. Market offered them $10 000 and they wanted more. Price dropped again. They started to hope for $10 000. Market offered them $8500, they wanted more! Price dropped again.
Magical $6000 area was holding for months. People were buying and accumulating. Price dropped again.
We were at $5500 and people were hoping for $6000 so they can sell and cut their losses. Price dropped again.
We are currently at $3400 and what is happening in the market? Everybody is talking about selling. Are there people that are buying? There are and a lot of them but they are silent. They have the reason why they do it. Twitter shillers are at its peak of bearish euphoria. They are calling $2700, $1100, $850, $100, 0.
Let me ask you a question: Do you see a pattern?
The current situation we have now is the same situation we had 12 months ago.
The same way they increased they target point for bull run, the same way they lower their target point for bear market. It will be happening until, until we see huge spike up.Same spike that ended bull market will end bear market. People will start hopping for double bottom so they can buy. Price will drop but wont make double bottom and they are going to miss the entry point. They will hope for double bottom again and again until price enters new bull run and until whole market becomes extra bullish again.

If you had goal to buy Bitcoin at $3000, then buy it once it happens. Do not lower it just because it dropped to $2900. You have to realise that you are buying Bitcoin 85% below all time high. If that is not enough for you, keep hoping and miss the bull run again.
Follow the crowd and do the opposite!
The reason for this post was to help you understand the current market situation. Where are we currently, where we had been and where we could be in future. Emotions are leading most of the decisions and that's why we have people that bought at $5000 last year, they didn't want to see all the way up, they didn't want to sell all the way down and they are selling now at $3500. Maybe we are wrong, maybe Bitcoin is going to die, but if you believe it is not going to happen, then find your entry points right now and once it happens, do not lower them because once big spike up happens, it is not going to offer you second chance.
To your success, CS Team!

Cryptocurrency market cap
The entire market cap is currently is very important support area. This area looks the most serious below $200 billion.
If this area doesn't hold, next one is around $60 billion.
As long as we are below $150 billion market cap, the bearish market is still very strong.
The end of bearish market would be market cap above $200 billion.
One more confirmation we could look for as the end of bear market is close above this blue line that is EMA 50 and that is used for trend direction. If the price of an asset is below the exponential moving average (EMA) 50, the trend is considered as bearish. If the price is above, the trend is considered bullish.
These are 2 signs we are waiting to say the end of bear market is here. Currently, we are TOO far from them.
So, to conclude, the cryptocurrency market cap is currently in major support area. Next supports are at $90 billion (average one), $60 billion (stronger) and after that we do not have support all the way down to $10 billion.
Here is an overview of the entire market cap:https://www.tradingview.com/x/Cooe73OW/

Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/IKyzHJK0/
Hourly time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/0g0G3QLO/
Starting from daily time frame, we see that there is still no sign of the next major swing move. It is still very tight around 3400 price level. What we are waiting is solid close on daily above recent swing low (red horizontal line at 3430). The close above would indicate potential up move.
Considering volume as one of the most important warning indicators and indicators that could be used for confirmation we can see consistent decline day after day. If price is making new lows, but volume is struggling to make new highs, we are talking about bullish divergance. New low has to be followed by increase in volume. If that doesn't happen, it means that selling power is not that strong and we may face with reversal.
As long as we are below 3500 on daily, we are still bearish on Bitcoin. The daily close above 3430 would give us first sign but it has to be confirmed by up move and then we would turn bullish in short-term on BTC targeting 3900 and 4500 price level.
On the hourly chart, our team spotted triangle that is in development. The move outside of this triangle would probably be sign of next swing move. It could be either up or down move because we saw rejections by both sides and that's the reason we are still sitting back and waiting for clear breakout or breakdown and on retest we will considering opening a trade.
When it isn't clear situation, it is better to sit back and wait for clear sign. Exposing money to this market can ruin your account significantly since we see the fakeouts in both directions.

German Stock Exchange Giant to Launch Crypto Trading — How it Will Affect the European Market

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Says Fair Value of Bitcoin to Reach $150K Per Coin
https://cointelegraph.com/news/fundstats-tom-lee-says-fair-value-of-bitcoin-to-reach-150k-per-coin
Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/6NdzrQVg/
4H time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/IAfGLDvy/
Starting with daily time frame, we saw rejection by 3430 (last swing low) that caused price to drop under 3200.
Again the volume is still down and we do not see any major selling activity. We do not see buying activity too but indecision in the bear market could lead to reversal and it did many times.
On 4H time frame, we broke down from the triangle but I would not short it here. Simply close to major weekly resistance I would not open major swing position. Scalping is okay and it is not affected by larger time frames but mainly by low time frames but again if you decide to scalp, make sure your stop loss is tight. Trading with wide stop loss is kinda risky at the moment.
Our team will think of shorting once price approaches 2 major resistances (3900 or 4500). Before that, shorting seems like buying Bitcoin in December 2017 and sooner or later that big spike will happen and all wide stop losses will be filled way higher and make serios damage to your account.

Europe Takes Serious Steps Toward Blockchain Adoption
After months of monitoring and observing the potential of blockchain, EU is finally making a turn into it
This is not news outlet from big media sites. This is you tube video that uncover what is happening behind the scene. How the people (in this example you tubers) that are spreading the truth are being shadow banned.
This is all part of one big game. Game that is played for those that want to gain control over crypto market. The game that caused all this blood on the street in the last few months.
Do not be just a Moon guy that is talking about coins that are going to moon. The moon will happen once they gain control over the cryptocurrency market. They do not have problem with crypto but with the opportunities that crypto offers to the people. Once they gain control over the market, once they own enough to be able to control it, we may expect mainstream adoption and new moon prices.
The stock market is controlled but it is still the largest market worth more than $70 trillions. So, gaining control in term of price has more positive impact than negative. They need blockchain and that's why they do not want to ban it. If they do not want blockchain, we would be already banned. That's why they want control over it and then we may expect the best days in term of growth.
But, it is not going to happen today nor tomorrow. It is going to take time. Because of that, the majority of coins are going to die. That's the worst consequence of this bear market. Not only shitcoins but also good project that will run out of cash. ICOs that raised $20-30 million in ETH are going to die once they run out of money. The reason is that the majority of them sold ETH close to the bottom and these $20-30 in best case are worth $4-5 million. You have to know that the part is already spent so the majority of them are having $1-3 million for everything (developemtn of the project, paying the team...)
If this bear market continues through 2019, the majority will become the history.
So, our team advice you to double check your portfolio. It is still not too late. Maybe you are holding coin that made you 90% loss but other coins are done also 90% or so. You still have time to double check if the project has potential to survive this bear market. If not, sell the coins and buy these with more potential. You are not accepting you loss but just moving the money to project with more chance of surviving because it is clear not all of them are going to survive.
It is not the end of cryptocurrency market, but it is going to be the end of a lot of coins that will run out of money. Be wise and make sure you are holding coins with potential to survive and grow after this bear market.

Bitcoin Weekly Update
This was our weeklt update few months ago: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XBTUSD/jYgTfIbO-The-end-of-the-bear-market-doesn-t-seem-close-BTC-update/
This was the comment:
"Zoom out and you will see that we are too far from an end, end of the bear market! All three Bollinger bands are pointing down creating downward momentum. We have now attempt on daily time frame to close above top Bollinger band that would invalidate this downward momentum that is active on weekly time frame but we got rejected 3 days in a row from top Bollinger band!
RSI is not even close to oversold area! For healthy uptrend, RSI has to test oversold area on weekly time! After potential rejection from oversold area, we may finally start to think about end of the bear market and the beginning of big bull market!
Best regards!"
BTC Update : https://www.tradingview.com/x/44CS6lnJ/
After almost 4 years, Bitcoin is entering oversold RSI zone. It doesn't mean that it will bounce off from this zone but once bullish divergance is built creating higher highs on the weekly time frame, we can expect the end of bear market and entering the accumulation zone for next bull run.
Last major downtrend ended once bullish divergance was made on weekly time frame, we do believe something similar is going to happen this time again.
Considering that every candle requires 7 days since this is weekly time frame, in best example it will take 4-6 weeks for bullish divergance to be developed but it also can take 15-20 weeks. Once we approach oversold zone on weekly time frame, it is time to think of the end of bear market.
Since this is only one indicator, you should never base all your research on only one indicator. The strongest sign that you can get from RSI is divergance. It requires at least few candles to be developed so this post is for you to follow this development and once it happens, it is going to be very strong sign. Considering that it could be developed in area of big weekly and monthly supports (2900, 2500, 1800), its meaning is even stronger.

The end of the bear market doesn't seem close! - BTC update! for BITMEX:XBTUSD by CryptoAims
Zoom out and you will see that we are too far from an end, end of the bear market! All three Bollinger bands are pointing down creating downward momentum. We have now attempt on daily time frame to close above top Bollinger band that would invalidate this…
It is December 15th, 2018
BTC dominance is currently at 55.3% (+0.4%). The total market cap is currently at $100.7 billion (- $4.5 billion). The market volume of the last 24h was $10.4 billion (- $1.6 billion).

They want you to open as many short as possible so they can pump it easily. Keep in mind that every opened short is going to be closed sooner or later by opening long one! More opened short = more guaranteed long to be opened.
Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/nOpdmSGs/
There is still no profitable entry setup. The risk managment doesn't allow us entering any position at the moment.
We are too close too 3000 price level that is important psychological price level. Below that we have area 2800-2900 that is considered as important weekly support.
We are too close to potential support so shorting doesn't allow us profitable entry point especially because 80% of drops are followed by bounces so it is impossible to ride the wave down and max out your gains.
We are not longing because it would be insane to try to catch the falling knife. We are making new yearly lows and longing would be crazy idea. It would be crazy idea until we see big bounce off. That's what we are waiting for our entry setup. We are waiting for bounce that will be confirmed by volume and our price action and then on retest we are going to long it.
Weekly time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/BiUR6e3y/
Currently, since it is weekend and weekly close is coming, if it closes right now, it would be very bearish. In order to turn bullish, we need close above 3450 at least. Currently it looks too far and almost impossible but we are still having more than 30 hours so never say never.
Weekly close around 3500 would trigger at least 3900 as a target. Weekly close below 3300 will trigger continuational price action and we are probably going to see the test of major psychological price level at 3000 and major weekly level of 2800-2900.

BTC dominance is currently at 55.3% (+0.4%). The total market cap is currently at $100.7 billion (- $4.5 billion). The market volume of the last 24h was $10.4 billion (- $1.6 billion).

They want you to open as many short as possible so they can pump it easily. Keep in mind that every opened short is going to be closed sooner or later by opening long one! More opened short = more guaranteed long to be opened.

There is still no profitable entry setup. The risk managment doesn't allow us entering any position at the moment.
We are too close too 3000 price level that is important psychological price level. Below that we have area 2800-2900 that is considered as important weekly support.
We are too close to potential support so shorting doesn't allow us profitable entry point especially because 80% of drops are followed by bounces so it is impossible to ride the wave down and max out your gains.
We are not longing because it would be insane to try to catch the falling knife. We are making new yearly lows and longing would be crazy idea. It would be crazy idea until we see big bounce off. That's what we are waiting for our entry setup. We are waiting for bounce that will be confirmed by volume and our price action and then on retest we are going to long it.

BTC dominance is currently at 54.8% (-0.5%). The total market cap is currently at $104.0 billion (+ $3.3 billion). The market volume of the last 24h was $10.7 billion (+ $0.3 billion).

4H time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/3xEC970h/
We saw some kind of up move yesterday that continued today. It is still very low and below all major resistances.
We are currently monitoring low time frames, such as H1 and H4, in order to spot profitable trade setup. Currently, as most of you know we are more focused on finding long entries since, once more time, shorting close to these important price levels is too risky. We will be interesting in short entries once we see up move. Major 3 resistances are 3700, 3900 and 4500. These 3 price levels are areas we are going to look for short entry.
Shorting below these price levels is same as buying Bitcoin at $17k in December 2017. You have potential but also the risk to get rekt is big.
Once we get confirmation, we will share with free channel.

Who is opening massive long positions on Bitcoin?
BTC Long Update: https://www.tradingview.com/x/NYsuipsn/
Very interesting to see longs trying to reach new all time high while we have short positions on all time high. It will be interesting week ahead of us.
The only question is who is opening these long positions because it is not hard to answer to the same question about short. Short positions are opened by a lot of market participants, both smart and less smart money. But the question is who is opening these longs? Smart money, aka whales? Are they hedging their short positions or this is preparation for big bounce off? Do they know something that the rest of us don't?
All in all, we hope this is going to bring us volatility again and as we said it will be interesting to see what is going to happen!
All the best in the next week, CS Team!

H4 time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/HxH3gv1v/
After few days of slowly moves we finally saw major move. Looks like the longs opened on Bitfinex knew something.
Which ever tool you use, it will show you extremely oversold price action and as we mentioned few times shorting there would be nothing but fomo. We called this move up few times and it finally did happen.
And we think this is just beginning. If we manage to see close of daily candle above 3430, we will be ready for first major resistance around 3600-3700 area.
Considering that this move up was followed by biggest 5 min volume on Bitmex in last 6-7 weeks, we think it won't finish just on this move and that we have solid chance to see continuation to first major resistance where short option will be in play again.
One more reason why we think the continuation of this move up will happen is the fact that opened longs are still opened and just few of them got closed which gives us reason to think that these who opened them are not happy and willing to wait for further targets before closing them.
Back to bigger picture, it is still downtrend. One of these targets (3700,3900,4500) is going to play out and we are going to see one more move down because short risk managment will become profitable again. Currently long risk managment is much more profitable then short one but as we said, do not be tricked, it is still extremely bearish market and check twice these targets once they get reached because every one of them is going to offer at least short resistance and move down that could be profitable for you!
