Finally have an EW count that I can't find major issues with. Feedback and alternate counts are appreciated. For those less familiar with Elliott Wave, essentially a correction can be any combination of corrections connected with an "X" wave. So Bitcoin appears to be in the midst of a triple combo correction. This most recent wave from the 5900 low, could either be a wave 1 of a new impulse or a continuation of the correction, which with each passing day seems to be the case.
My thought is that we are ending this series with a zigzag. BTC has shown a tendency to truncate C waves at the .786 extension of A, so I would not be surprised if that were the case this time as well.
The reason I picked 7.5-7.7k as a target is due to the large degree of confluence in that zone.
-We have an intersection with the trendline from 2017
-It is also the .786 fib extension of the A wave of ABC that we are currently in.
-It is right at the .786 retracement from the swing high at 11.8k
-It is at the .618 retracement from the 20k top drawn from the 2015 low
-There is another support/resistance trendline from the 20k top (drawn in blue) that intersects at that point.
-Finally, if you believe bots control this market, it's also the -0.236 target zone for bots which are short from the most recent swing high of 11.7k
That is way too much confluence to ignore! If we reach that area, I believe buyers should enter with volume. If that fails to happen I would be scared for a further drop to who knows how low. Guessing 4.8k.
On the other hand, if we can hold that support and bounce with strong volume, I think we'll blow through the downtrend resistance line at 10k easily and finally be done with this bear market.
