Bitcoin bearish break testing $45k support zone and 38.2% Fib

Our original analysis on Bitcoin (BTC/USD) favored a bullish break above the 21 ema zone but a bearish swing is already testing the previous bottom near $47k.
On the 4 hour chart, price action seems to be building a bearish ABC (pink) zigzag pattern with 5 waves (grey) in wave A (pink).
The uptrend remains valid as long as price action stays above the 50% Fibonacci level. A break below places the uptrend on hold.

Bitcoin made a bearish breakout rather than a bullish break as we expected.

This shows how strong and important the 21 ema zone really is: price action was unable to break above the bearishly angled 21 emas. Let’s review the new situation.

Price charts and technical analysis

Our original analysis on Bitcoin (BTC/USD) favored a bullish break above the 21 ema zone but a bearish swing is already testing the previous bottom near $47k.

Price action made an immediate bearish swing instead as it used the 21 emas as a resistance zone.
This means that the price action seems to be completing a bearish ABC (pink) pattern as we expected, just a little bit sooner. Also, the wave B is weaker than expected.
If our outlook is correct, then the ABC (pink) should complete a wave 4 (purple) pullback.
The wave 4 (purple) could already be completed (green arrows) or make one lower low to tag and hit the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. A bounce confirms it (blue arrows).
The uptrend remains valid as long as price action stays above the 50% Fibonacci level. A break below places the uptrend on hold (orange button) and a deep retrace invalidate it (red button).

On the 4 hour chart, price action seems to be building a bearish ABC (pink) zigzag pattern with 5 waves (grey) in wave A (pink):

The current bullish bounce could be wave 4 (grey) in wave C (pink) as long as price action remains below the 21 ema zone.
A bullish breakout (green arrows) could invalidate the bearish wave 4-5 outlook and indicate an immediate uptrend.
A bearish breakout (orange arrows) could create one lower low to finish wave 4 (purple).
A bullish bounce after the lower low (blue arrow) could indicate the end of the retracement.
