Let’s Get Technical: The Origins Of Point & Figure Charting<\/h2>\n

Before there was TradingView<\/a> and other computer software-based charting tools, technical analysis was entirely drawn by hand.\u00a0Traders would wait for the bell to ring on the day before adding the daily close to their charts.<\/p>\n

More than a hundred years before Bitcoin was created, an anonymous writer by the name of “Hoyle” first wrote about<\/a> a different type of hand-drawn chart in 1898, called the Point & Figure chart. His writings were featured in the book The Game in Wall Street and How to Successfully Play It<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Point & Figure charts are a series of columns of Xs and Os. Unlike the the book’s title and the comparison to Tic-Tac-Toe, this type of chart is no “game.” It is designed to filter out time and noise from price charts, and make levels of support and resistance<\/a> significantly easier to identify.<\/p>\n

It also puts the focus on “important” price movements only. Which is why the chart might make the confusing situation in Bitcoin<\/a> a lot more cut and dry.<\/p>\n

The chart above might look unusual compared to the Japanese candlesticks<\/a> and bar charts most traders share. Support can be drawn either at 90 degrees or at 45 degrees for an uptrend. Resistance also works similarly at 90 and 45 degrees.<\/p>\n
The current column of red bars represents the downward price action, which first touched the blue horizontal support line, pierced the 45 degree uptrend line, but has since bounced and is currently holding above above it.<\/p>\n

Price is also now holding at the red line, which could be a retest of resistance turned support. An active buy signal still exists stemming from the most recent higher high of Xs, and a new sell signal won’t generate until two full circles below the blue line, creating a lower low.<\/p>\n

According to a Wikipedia entry<\/a>, “45 degree lines may be used to define up trends and down trends from important highs and lows on the chart allowing objective analysis of trends.”<\/p>\n
Switching back to the traditional candlestick chart that is normally shared here on NewsBTC, the same horizontal support levels and 45-degree uptrend line remain. Using the Point & Figure version is instantly more “objective,” eliminating any possible personal bias from the picture.<\/p>\n
