Price charts and technical analysis
The BTC/USD chart is showing a complete 5 bearish waves down (orange) in wave 5 (grey) of wave A (pink). The alternative is an ABC (red) pattern down:
-
A bullish ABC up could indicate a wave B (pink). In that case, another price swing down could be a wave C (pink).
-
Considering the strength of the uptrend on the higher time frames, the pullback in wave C could be shallow.
-
A 5 wave pattern (rather than an ABC) could indicate a wave 1 and wave 2 rather than B and C. This scenario is also bullish.

An immediate push up (green arrow) is likely to test the resistance zone (orange box).
-
A bearish bounce could decline to test the support (blue box) and inverted head and shoulders level.
