Title: Elliot Waves - time for a long correction?
Post by: zby on January 13, 2012, 06:42:25 AM
No much waves counting recently - so here is my humble attempt.  My conclusion is that we finished a monthly scale wave and are now for a monthly scale correction - but there is one detail that is not fitting.

So here are the pictures:

This is the big picture - we have finished the correction after the first wave and are now into the 3rd wave (that means up up up). And this is what was going on in latest weeks:

 We had clear, finished 4 waves (1 impulse, 2 correction, 3 impulse, 4 triangle correction).  The only question is is the 5th wave finished?  If it is then we'll have a multi-week correction, if not then we might yet reach 10 in a few days.  Let's see the last wave in more details:

So we had pretty clear 1, 2, 3 and 4 waves - but no 5th.  My personal theory is that it failed, most probably because USD shortages on bitcoinica removed the momentum from the upward move.  If it is so - then we are now for the correction.  But maybe we are still in the 4th wave?

I am still undecided myselfj.  I have sold half of my BTC - it's not very rational profit maximizing strategy - but at least I'll be able to reconcile myself if the price go any way.

I think the next time it tests the resistance at 7.22 it break through.

Agreed - but what is most probably now is that it will test 5.8 first.

You are aware that prices are not some kind of stronghold that lowers resistance once broken, right?

The purchasing power of all Bitcoin holders, and thereby the selling power, rises linearly with price.

You've made chicken entrails readings? What did they predict? Was the gall bladder dark? Should I sell now?

I agree.

If $7.22 was the end of wave 5
    then Jan 9 $5.81 --> wave A
    and Jan 11 $7.14 --> wave B

now I'm watching $5.7 ish to conclude wave C some time this weekend - probably Saturday.

How about returning to the 'main' trend since December:
