The Bitcoin Fractals Show More Down

Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening!

I hope you are doing well everyone. I know we are in a very confusing part of the market cycle right now, and everyone is antsy to "catch the bottom" for the biggest gains. While alts are showing strong signs that their bottoms could be in, or darn near close to in... Bitcoin is not showing the same for me.

I am looking at these fractal patterns, and the pattern shows me that we still have two large moves down to make before we see any significant bounce. What are the targets? I'm not completely sure yet, but for now, I don't see us starting a bull run at this moment. I just see down from here. There is an off chance we fire up to $9700 before that happens, but, I don't see us going beyond that without making new lows. And to be honest, I doubt that $9700 even happens.

As you can see, I have drawn a red oval around the fractal patterns comparing them to each other. We are not even halfway down the fractal pattern at our current spot. Comparing the two, we have only made it into the green zone. We still have strong moves downwards to go! So,be careful!

As always, trade with caution and education. Your failures are not my responsibility! :)

Note

Bitcoin has made the move down, as expected. We are approaching "Capitulation". This is the move that scares people out of their positions. The pain gets so bad they throw in the towel because they are scared they will lose it all. These types of moves are designed to get you to sell, and for the rich to get richer by buying very cheap. If you have been hodling, this will be scary. But you have to have faith the bounce will come.

This is how I imagine it playing out:

Note

As you can see, we are sort of making our formation. However, I am uncertain if we will actually reach that upper target near $7550. It looks like we aren't getting enough juice in our pushes up. So, be aware of that if you are trading in this range.

Note

I am looking for a base to be formed here around $6650. Then, I expect one final push up, taking us above $7200, before we make our next move down.

I am looking for the actual bottom of this move very soon. We still have a couple of days until that time comes. But I feel it is very near. Once we find this base at $6650, and if we go above $7200, on the next sharp fall we have, once that settles, I believe that will be our bottom, and I will be planning on entering heavily into positions in Bitcoin, and many alt coins.

Note

I will never lead you in a direction that I have hope for. I will always be completely transparent on what I believe is the next move to happen. At this current time, I am having a hard time forecasting the next move. I truly believed we would get one last little bounce there at $6650, so, the fact that we didn't, makes it very unclear for me now. We could be starting our capitulation move. I'm really unsure. But I want you to know that what I was expecting is now broken. I will update once I have a clearer picture.

Note

But, I want to make it clear that according to these fractals, this is it. If we follow the fractals the way they have played in the past, this will be our last push down before a big move up. Whether or not that happens is up for debate. But, the fractals show that it does go up after this final push down. So, I am going to be watching for the bottom of this next big move down, as I believe that will be our real bounce spot. I am not basing this on hope, or want, or need. I am in cash, I do not care if it goes down as I will just buy for less. But, according to this fractal pattern we have created, the next big push down "SHOULD" be our last, before a very big move up.

Note

Even when we look at coins like Ethereum, we can see similarities on the grand picture of the correction and it's fractal pattern. Obviously I'm showing a smaller timeframe of just a month here on the Bitcoin fractal. But here is Ethereum, showing the whole fractal correction pattern... look where we are at this exact moment.

Oops, sorry, wrong link, maybe this will work?

Note

These are the patterns I'm watching for right now. Blue - Down we go. Red - Bottom is in.

Note

It is looking like we are taking the blue path. Do not be fooled into the quick ups and downs within this range. Unless if we break $7150, I won't even consider the bullish option.

At the end of this next sharp move down, I will start looking for a triple bottom. I am not going to try to catch the falling knife.

Note

There could be another 12-24 hours of bouncing in this range:

Note

And just so you guys know, the fractals tell me $5900 is the bottom. But, we need the market to confirm that. There are many good trade callers who predict anywhere from $3,000 to $4,900 to $5,500 to $6,000.

So, my prediction is just one to add to the list. $5,900. And that's based on the fractals, which we have followed.

Note

Things are looking mixed right now. Obviously, we have a ton of green on the board. And that's excellent!!! I'm sorry I haven't kept this updated, as I moved into a new home this week!!! (UPGRADE!!!)

I am cautious about a few things.

1. There is a very good chance we completed our 4 fractal pattern, with a 4th fractal sort of getting "smooshed" sideways besides the 3rd fractal. This lines up with the long term trendline providing it support. So, in that case, we are done going down for now, and are patiently waiting for another explosive move upward, equal to what we saw yesterday. At least, that's what would happen if we completed the 4th fractal. We would see another explosion just about equal to what we already saw.

2. If we make a larger pull back, to say, $7,000. I would be very concerned we aren't done going down.

I am going to post some charts on here with things I'm noticing, both positive and potentially negative.

Note

Here is a log chart of Bitcoin, zoomed out. There is the possibility that we are back testing the breakdown of a support. If that is the case, then there is certainly the possibility of more down. We want to get above that line.

Note

On the linear chart, we see that we have pierced the down trend line, no matter where you want to start it at.

Note

So, the big question is... is this the bottom? We need to see what the next move is. Explosive move up, then yes. Big pull back? Potentially not. We could still be in the 3rd fractal, which would pull all the way back down to where we started this monstrous push up from. And then breakdown from there to complete the capitulation 4th fractal.

I did make a 100% long entry in my positions at $6800, including all alt coins. I have no intention of selling any right now until we see the next big move.

But I feel certain that if we make a strong move up, there will be more up to follow. If we make a strong move down, there will be more to follow. So, let's see!

Note

Touched resistance. I don't have any advice for those who are not already long. If you feel like shorting, this seems like a good place to do so with a stop-loss above the trend line. If you want to go long and you aren't already entered, I would probably wait for the trend line to break. If you are long from the bottom, might be a good place to take profit and set buy orders to re-enter above trend line. For me, I'm just going to keep holding my positions until I have a clearer picture of the direction. If we break that line, it's going to move fast and strong upward. So for me, I'm just sitting tight right now.
