Price charts and technical analysis
Bitcoin has extended its sideways range between $30 and $40,000 for another week. The correction is taking a long time to develop but that is common in wave 4s (pink):
-
The correction is probably part of a wave B (orange).
-
A break below the 100% Fibonacci level and bottom invalidates (red circle) the bullish Elliott Wave outlook.
-
A bullish break (green arrow) above the 21 ema zone, 144 ema, and resistance trend line (orange) confirms the bullish rebound.
-
A bullish ABC pattern could complete a wave C (orange) of wave B (grey) at the previous top.
-
Ultimately, a larger ABC (grey) pattern could complete the wave 4 (pink) and a new uptrend could emerge for a wave 5 (pink).
On the 4 hour chart, price action seems to be creating a contracting triangle chart pattern:
-
A bearish ABCDE (blue) triangle pattern seems to be the most likely scenario.
-
Why? The triangle pattern fits well with the expected market psychology where price is now expected to go sideways and not break for a while.
-
The ABCDE (blue) could complete a wave B (green) pattern of a larger ABC (green).
-
The alternative Elliott Wave scenario is a wave B2 (green) followed by a bullish ABC (black).
