Elliott Formation

The Bitcoin price has been following a parabolic ascending support line since December 15, 2019. The price movement resembles a five-wave Elliott formation and it looks as if the price is nearing the end of the fifth wave. A retracement is expected afterward that could take the shape of an A-B-C correction. The daily RSI supports this decrease since it has been trading inside an ascending wedge into overbought territory. One possible outline for this correction is given in the graph below. The most probable level for the top of the current wave would be at the resistance area of $11,000. Bitcoin Correction

A more bullish possibility would be for the Bitcoin price to create an extended wave five that goes all the way to the next resistance area at $12,000. Extended wave fives are not uncommon. By the slope of the ascending support line, we can determine that this area could be reached by the end of February. While at the current time we cannot know with certainty whether the Bitcoin price will get there, the price movement if/once the price reaches $11,000 will be helpful in determining if it will. The daily RSI has yet to show any signs of weakness, so the current bullish trend is still intact. A breakdown from the ascending wedge in the previous image would invalidate this possibility. Bitcoin Extended Elliott

To conclude, the Bitcoin price created a strong bullish candlestick on February 11 and has been increasing since. We believe the increase will continue until the price reaches at least one of the resistance areas outlined above. For those interested in BeInCrypto’s previous Bitcoin analysis, click here.
