Back after some busy days. So, he 5th downtrend wave was shortened; so was the 3rd uptrend wave after. What is going to happen now?
Possibly the 12345 downtrend wave was in fact an ABC pattern and now we are in a XYZ thing going sideways and building a range; but I think it's less likely, so I didn't draw that.
More likely would be a diagonal expansion (green scenario) where wave 4 would slightly enter the wave 1 territory (yes, it happens often in crypto and it's allowed in diagonal expansion, even Wikipedia will show you that :) ); in this case we start wave 5 but not going higher than $8700. We are still in the uptrend channel so this is very likely. After that we should have a correction (in orange, ABC kind) and go down to $7600 or a little lower, and retry bullish reversal from there.
Or, maybe a little less likely, but still very possible, the 12345 uptrend wave was in fact a ABC correction in the bearish downtrend. In this case, what we are doing now is not the wave 4, but will continue as wave 1 of a downtrend impulse wave pattern (12345 in red). If it's true, we may go to $7200 or even lower!
Anyway, in crypto anything is possible so take care. I think for now it's still risky to trade, uptrend waves get often shortened, and you can only get small percentage profit. I would rather stay in fiat until we are sure we've had a bottom.
