Well in my opinion. If you are using Bitcoin as a trading instrument then you would have to get acquainted with the Japanese Candle Stick technique. This will give you sell and buy indicators that would help you make decisive decisions regrading your trade. You can pair BTC against the US dollar or other prominent commodities to maximize your profit and lastly focus on daily charts as trading with time frames far lower when one is not experienced can cause mental drains and make one loose trades since the stop loss would be reached more often.
Happy Trading!
