The smaller dashed channel remains my primary case, mapping out waves 1 though 4 with perfect touches at the channel bounds. Wave 5 higher is still missing.
Lots of charts! Lets get into it...
🧵1/
In both channels we can draw a tight lower boundary, as well as one that captures deviations.
In the smaller channel, #Bitcoin has now broken the tight boundary and consumed the full extent of the Covid deviation.
Is the Luna crash simply another deviation?
🧵2/
Taking a step back to the failed Triangle count, the mistake was to assume that the market did not need to consume the covid deviation. I was wrong.
Break of 33k #Bitcoin invalidated the Triangle and I switched to my alternate count which I will cover next.
🧵3/
Alternate count in more detail. Double combination, with double zigzag in Y.
Is this count complete at the channel boundary?
🧵4/
The price action off the low looks corrective, not impulsive, however, #Bitcoin looked a lot like that after the low in June 2021, so on that basis I think this count could be considered complete as shown.
Bearish alternatives next...
🧵5/
For reference, here is #Bitcoin mid 2021. Corrective price action doesn't necessarily mean we have to put in another low. In one case we went lower, the other we did not.
What we got was an incredible 3 month opportunity to accumulate, so just keep that in mind.
🧵6/
One alternative count is a regular WXY.
This would take #Bitcoin down to it's long term moving averages and provide a more convincing bottom.
I don't like the A wave count because of the Dec liquidation wick, but here it is anyway.
🧵7/
The other alternative for #Bitcoin where there are no ambiguities in the count, is a wave 4 expanded flat with a diagonal in C.
Note this is valid only up to about 37k because 4 needs to be shorter than 2.
🧵8/
Because we are so close to the 200wma it is probable that buyers won't come in until we reach it.
However, because I do not see this as a cycle low (even if we touch it), I think it is equally possible that we maintain the channel and find our wave 5 high first.
🧵9/
3 counts, 1 bullish, 2 short term bearish, but my overall thesis that we are in a primary Wave 4 correction is still valid whether we hit the 200wma or not.
For me, it's just time to DCA across whatever lows the market gives us, and be ready for wave 5.
The low time frame count looks remarkably similar to the start of wave 3, so if this impulse were to continue rhyming, it would complete before the end of the year.
The only #Bitcoin count that shows a completed correction with the low already in. It's a rare pattern, so less likely than either of the two above counts, but still a possibility.
Seems to me the #Bitcoin bottom is more likely in than not. Everyone hates everyone. Everything is scam. Every red candle is some degen getting liquidated. Too much narrative. Too much fear.
If you look at the charts, the #Crypto market as a whole has gone nowhere in six months.
If you're selling out of your positions, instead of taking the opportunity to accumulate and grow them at these levels, I really think you're going to look back and regret that decision.
And I'm not talking trading, I'm talking about opportunity for long term portfolio growth.
There are a lot of strong views on what happens next. Blow off top followed by massive bust? Not my preference.
Most probable to me is that the markets go significantly higher over the next couple of years as the liquidity cycle repeats.
Generally speaking, when the news is universally bad and the sentiment is at all time lows, I am a buyer. I buy slowly and consistently across the months when the market is hunting for a bottom.
1/
My obsession with charts means I am always looking for the exact bottom. I want to know when it is approaching and when it has passed, but my investment timeframe means I have no need to buy the exact candle.
I am just averaging into long term positions.
2/
Historically, Bitcoin has never returned to it's previous high, let alone gone below, so given the huge upside potential, 20-40k seems like a fair value range to me.
Remember I am looking out into a future where BTC is worth well over 100k, and eventually a million.
