For bitcoin usually i am not use technical analysis, usually i follow what news or maybe rumour that will be happen to bitcoin, if missed so i will hold it. I think if compare bitcoin trading to altcoin trading is have little differen, for me and this is only personal opinion. Because risk in alt, although price moving faster than bitcoin still need technical analysis to see where it will go. And bitcoin usually tend to stable and maybe increased, although usually only a little percent.
