Clickbait title ftw 😸.
I'll continue the short term TA from the previous thread here as it was getting a bit long.
RIght...!
There is a felling of belief and even hope in the markets I think, and that is dangerous!
Suddenly there are many "TA"s talking up consolidations, and pushing on to 30K etc, and its also the same with stocks and indexes and i'll link my work on S&P and Nasdaq.
But anyhow BTC - are we on for 100K tomorrow morning or even 30K next week or this month 🤔?
Well you guessed it (or what i'm going to write) - probably not.
In fact I think a wipe out collapse is coming.
And lets leave TA to the side for a second (wut 🤨)
Lets think about psychology and the market moving game for a second.
Does the market want to usher in the free lunch community for an easy ride and help them get in at a great moment to so they can make a fortune and tell their friends and family what geniuses they are???
And all across the world hodl club get the text from their favourite crypto app telling them "the bull market is on - its time to buy" - "wake up little hodler."
Is that how this works, these apps and exchanges really are robin hood that take from the rich and give to the poor (too funny an exchange is called Robin Hood)
Robin Hood is here to tell you its time to get rich 💡 ???
And obviously I wont condescend - the answer is no.
The game is rigged, you're always being played if you are not aware of the game - and thats not just trading, that is everything. But that type of conversation is beyond the scope of this Bitcoin thread so back to the chart.
...
Ok so BTC has been very corrective - very choppy price action and this is unstable and I think we've potentially reached the top of Wyckoff "AR - Automatic Rally" following the "SC - Selling Climax" low.
And if correct what this means is this could be a fairly long accumulation.
Last week's candle was a doji (indecision) hugging the 200MA and this week's candle (although not complete till the weekend is done) is currently a tiny wee little doji - again hugging the 200MA.
And you may think that hugging a moving average is a good thing but I would suggest that its a very bad thing. A good thing would be price bouncing at an MA and wicking through. When price hugs and MA it is a corrective path where upside impetus is slowly exhausted until it falls through.
And thats what is about to happen I think.
And I'm going to have a throw at the dartboard and say it will be next week, if not it will be the next.
Now...
There's a very important and somewhat hard to find fib and now having had some time to look through all the options - I think this out of all the possible fibs is the most important one.
Slightly hard to find only because the last pivot is a higher high.
Ok...
So, next event in Wyckoff accumulation is "ST - Secondary Test."
If I was creating the names of Wyckoff events I might call this "FT1 - First Fear Test." Because that is what it is.
In terms of psychology AR breathes hope into the free lunch community and mostly towards the top is where most of the herd will start buying.
I'm being cheeky with the terms but this is nothing more than emotional psychology and the market movers are well aware that the herd trade on emotion and without skill - and so they are effectively herding the free lunch community; fooling them at every turn.
And thats why many hodler gurus advocate for DCA and to an extent they are right because the hodler can buy AR and if they are disciplined buy throughout the fear testing with DCA and really they are doing great. The trouble is by the time BTC bottoms they may be in so much pain and that may affect their judgement.
Digressing a bit...
Are you still here 😆?
Ok good 👍🏻.
So anyhow hope is high currently and there will be a lot of buying. A wise guy on my previous thread apparently thinks that only a nuclear event or a war in Taiwan will see BTC go below 21K and that is the calibre of player in the crypto market.
And if you're reading this you should be very thankful for this type of player; so willing to talk balls, carry the bags and entirely unwilling to lift a finger even if the required TA to learn is only a few mouse clicks away 😄.
As long as there are plenty of hodlers like this and there are plenty then the game remains unchanged. The market movers are happy that they have a bountiful feast at every turn, and for the manual trader thats put the time in, the game isn't actually too difficult. If these loud mouth billy-big-boot types actually wised up then that would be bad news because the market movers would need to make the game more difficult, but thankfully there is no sign of that.
Is this a microcosm of society 🤨? Perhaps... (Yes it is.)
Still here??? We're nearly done...
...
Ok, so next step is the first fear test (ST) and I think that if this fib is the most relevant then BTC will re-test it before this accumulation is done.
And thats slightly below the orange band that is a typical retracement zone.
In terms of buying I will be doing so as soon as BTC hts the orange band but I will buying down to the fib @ $18485.
TLDR: BTC next low may be as far down as $18485.
NOT SHORTING
Not advice.
