My high probability EW count for BTC

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Since all major ALTs are positively correlated with BTC they will repeat what it does just exacerbating the amplitude of its moves.

I think Bitcoin has completed wave "a" of the corrective "B" wave up and now we are going be retracing the last up leg in wave "b" to the lower $7K with the following final push up in wave "c" to around $13250 (or even to $17100) to complete the wave "B". Upon completion we will have a final push down in wave "C" to the recent lows or may be even exceeding them all the way down to $4300.

CORRECTION

The last push up makes me think that we have already had (b) wave (it was a truncated (b)) and currently are moving up in the wave (c) of B.

Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts.

You are ultimately proposing an extremely bullish setup with this count if I am reading it correctly. In my mind that would be the healthiest scenario for the long run.

I am curious about how this longer term outlook intersects with your previous update from last week though. You had mentioned in a comment that if we have a weekly close above the $12k mark in the short-term that it would signal a new bull market. In my mind, a new bull would imply new ATHs without a lower low, but this analysis shows that a lower low is likely and that ATHs would be months away at a minimum.

I am mostly curious to know if your outlook has changed at all or if this is just a difference in projection horizons that I have noticed. I.e. 12 day, 12 wk, 12 mo

As anybody else I may be wrong. Especially with EW analysis. But there are certain points which make me think that we are still in correction:

  1. The internal structure of the current move up. It doesn't look to me as a clear cut impuls wave;
  2. Insufficient time for a correction of the 2.5 years bull run;
  3. Insufficient depth of the correction as it didn't meet the weekly volatility implied targets . Also, historically BTC tends to retrace 80% + of its major moves up.

All solid points. Plus, the weekly chart for BTC just looks like it is begging for a C wave down.

It's always possible that the accelerating adoption/speculation rates could keep the bull running, so it'll be fun watching things unfold.

Incredible Srezz, thanks again for your awesome work and honest opinions. Keep it up!

Thank you srezz for all the hard work you put in😊

Thank you, srezz. You are the one who uses working TA approach with volatility-based targets, and it works most of the times. You predicted the two biggest sell-offs from 5k to 3k and from 20k to 5k (it was 6k on the actual market, but who knows what waits for us in the future..)
Thank you very much for your work.

Looks good as usual Srezz! I think your (C) wave low might be a bit high. I see the support is heavily based on wave 1. I think we might see a low in the 3000s.

Happy to see you around Larry. There's a very strong band of support between $4300 and $2850 levels made of congestion of the Gann's square of 9 weekly cycles.

yep im a complete noob in ta, i will learn it. but it will take time..lots of. Id like to ask if its possible to see from the chart when the pullback will happen...im probably just too newbie or blind to spot it. And yes thanks alot for the charts youve been providing!

Tentatively - yes, it's possible because nothing in markets is certain and all forecasts are probability based. If you are serious about learning the art of market analysis I'd suggest to begin from here.

just a quick "thank you!" for your recommendations on where to start with TA basic and for continuously providing your valuable insights, kudos!

Thank you for the correction update in your post Srezz, are the targets for wave ''c'' maintained? B.T.W. You have suggested some literature to me in the past, and I am happy to report I am slowly and steadily learning more about TA, Elliot Waves for example. I really start to enjoy it the more I learn. I noticed you keep helping new people with links and information about where to start learning the basics. I would like to thank you for helping us out and all your charts you post here for us. Nice to see Larry is around here, too. GLTA!

Nice to see you too. Corrections always have a multitude of interpretations. The wave count presented in the head post is the easiest one. And it is the easiest one on purpose - to avoid being overly technical. Realistically speaking I think we are in at least WXY type of a correction.

Srezz - do you believe with the increase in marketcap over the last couple of days can change things, or I guess what I am trying to ask is if you ever use the marketcap as a tool when doing TA

One of the key TA premises is that at any given time the price reflects all known information. Therefore only the price action concerns me.

I agree, I can ideally see BTC hitting 12k or 13k before a major pullback, the RSI will also most likely be oversold at those levels as well. Followed you since I do TA updates as well!

Interesting! Thanks for your analysis.
