🔹From high to low of each impulse, the 23.6 and 38.2 levels have been key support

🔹When it breaks it ultimately bases off the 38.2 ~ 20k Image

🔹 Logarithmic or log price scale, represents price spacing on the vertical or y-axis dependent on the PERCENTAGE CHANGE in the underlying asset's price

-- What are #Fibonacci numbers? Pt.1 --

🔹 Fibonacci numbers are a numerical series depicting nature’s expansion
🔹 The same number sequence appears all over throughout nature. i.e.
🔸 The number of petals on a flower
🔸 A snail shell

#BTC #cryptocurrency #Crypto #TRADINGTIPS
-- What are #Fibonacci numbers? Pt.2 --

🔹 The sequence is made by simply starting at 1 and adding the previous number to arrive at the new number:

0+1=1, 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13, 13+8=21, 21+13=34,…

🔹This could take a bit to explain what i am seeing

🔸Yearly closes (Red Dots)
🔸Ranges taken from the closes, broken into Phases
🔸A Parabola linking the yearly closes
🔸Elliot Wave for wave structure

-- #BTC HFT Range Parabola --

🔹The Phases double in Height each year. i.e.
🔸Phase 1 = 1 range height from open to close
🔸Phase 2 = double phase 1 in height*
🔸Phase 3 = double phase 2 in height*
*Gets more parabolic as time goes on

#Bitcoin Image
-- #BTC HFT Range Parabola --

🔹The EW count puts us in the 4th wave of the 3rd
🔹The 4th is looking like a big running flat correction
🔹The 5th if taken as a 1:1 of wave 1, would take us to ~$200K
🔹The W4 correction will be a killer and make every think its over. BUT its NOT! Image
