The top of the bitcoin market has left a lot of folks puzzled about the prospects of further gains. Bears are vehemently defending the 45k to 48k resistance zone, while bulls are just as fervently defending the lower 40000s. This has lead to a narrow trading range that acted has a sideways channel for correction of the remarkable advance in November and early December. The range can only be characterized as extremely complex in structure.
We really have only one tool to decipher this action: The Elliott Wave Principle. It provides a foundational theory of price movement based on the collective trading and social mood of market participants.
This is an attempt to characterize the trading at the top of bitcoin in the second half of December 2023 in terms of Elliott waves.
This shows a logical construction of market structure and suggests that the conditions are ready for a continuation of the bull market in another leg of a wave that began at the bottom of this year,s market.
