What do you get when there is complete seller exhaustion and no extra buyers step into the market? Thats right, you get a vertical spike with continued depleted volume. Thats what BTC just showed us.
This post is follow up to my last 2 posts, "WXYXY over Hurst Cycles" and "A Silent Bull in Disguise?" The former give the forest view and the latter gives the microscopic view elliot wave count that proves the 1,2,3,4,5 of A. I have communicated a lot of thoughts in the former that explains why I am expecting wave 5 of A as this chart shows. It explains why wave 4 is restricted to a .236 retrace; however, I have the top of wave 1 at 6340, so that is actually the lowest point wave 4 can retrace to maintain a valid Elliot wave impulse that would make up an A wave in a Bear market.
So why do I think this is an X wave of an WXYXZ pattern? It is because we have seen zero volume confirmation of cycle wave 3! Look at the volume, its still depleting. It is because BTC is still in a triangle pattern seen in the "WXYXY over Hurst Cycles" post. I was thinking it may be possible that BTC is starting cycle wave 3 because Hurst cycles is showing BTC is starting a new 500 day cycle and it would make sense cycle degree wave 3 start on the start of that large cycle, however, the volume is just not confirming that. I am expecting a huge volume spike like BTC has not yet seen. Instead volume continues to deplete even though we just saw a vertical spike. This is indicative of the X wave and the continuation of cycle degree wave 2.
I have Point C at the top of the triangle resistance line at the point where the current 60 day cycle is at its peak. I am estimating the B wave takes twice as long as the C wave because the retrace always takes longer.
