Lessons learnt from the Bitcoin bear market: 15 November 2022: An IITPSA Blockchain SIG Event

November 15, 2022 @ 16:30 - 17:30

Bitcoin markets have been in a bear market trend in 2022 and it has created much anxiety for both professional and amateur traders. The introduction of hedge funds and large financial institutions into the space has resulted in Bitcoin behaving increasingly like a risk on asset in the financial markets.

In this presentation John Singh will discuss the lessons he has learnt from trading in this difficult bear market. Learn about the various tools that can be used to analyse Bitcoin markets from both a macro and a micro point of view. Due to the impact of global markets a trader will need to monitor a few key indices like the S&P500, the dollar index and the bond yield markets.

The analysis of different time frames like the BTCUSD monthly, weekly and daily charts are also important in conjunction with key moving averages and volume to assist with interpreting the charts.

The stock to flow model and monitoring of key blockchain metrics can assist the trader in establishing the fair value of bitcoin and whether it is currently cheap or expensive. The Bitcoin options volatility charts, open interest and other metrics also provide valuable input into the traders arsenal. Putting this all together into a practical framework is a vital part of analysis.

The application of disciplined risk management into the process provides that edge which can make the difference between profit or loss. Join this exciting event to learn valuable but practical lessons that can be applied in the Bitcoin markets.
