Just a prediction. I'm not sure exactly when timeline-wise the $20-ish correction downwards will come, but it'll happen around when we hit about $200. This will be triggered by two forms of short-term speculation:

(1): Miners, who have been mining at a loss for a while, will have reached a point at which they can actually take some USD profit. While obviously many miners will be in it for the long-haul, or just want BTC, a fair amount I suspect will sell at levels about $200/coin.

(2): A huge sell wall is likely to build at about $200, due to the top reason and just the psychological barrier, which is likely to intimidate bulls in the short-term. When we stall out, we'll likely get a bearish wedge formation that will break downwards, only to just continue back up once everybody realizes that nothing is actually happening.

(3): Obviously people who bought around $200 last bubble will jump on this to sell. Another such point will be obviously at $266.

Just my thoughts.

Yup.

The thing I can't figure out though, is whether Gox is more likely to bounce off, bringing Bitstamp with it, or will gox climb to about $220, while bitstamp hits $200, and then the Bitstamp, having the wedge, falls, bringing Gox with it, and then Gox's $200 proceeds to act as a support, actually ending the $20 slide.

If its the latter, this is still a fairly good buying opportunity (right now.) If its the former, you'll likely be able to buy at $150-$160 again in the near future on Bitstamp, so no need to get too worried.

We hit $195 briefly, then sell off came. Afterwards 10k btc ask appear till 200, so i believe part who want to sell around 200 are in the asks.
Dumping is less and less rewarding, having no reversing effect, only giving less dollar, a sign of bubbling trend.
I'm more inclined to believe $250 is the figure to be met with great resistance, being the big psychological barrier close to ATH of 266.
If we past it, then peak should be easily above $290.

How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

A correction would make reasonable sense and would be healthy for the market. Permabears would scream victory before shutting up as it climbs again.

We could use a good, strong, ABC correction, but I doubt the bulls will let such an opportunity pass for long.

In order to clarify if we are on a parabolic trajectory or not, the price level after the correction will be most helpful.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

Hmmm, could that be the long-awaited correction?

I doubt it. If it is, I'll be very disappointed. It came too soon, and was too small, to count as a legitimate correction, IMO.

That was A.  Soon we'll have the upmove for B, then C down.  C should extend 1.6 times as far as A.  But then again, this is bitcoin, so anything can happen.

Where were the upward waves? I just see one big upward movement, TBH.

The only charts that ever seem to move in elliot waves to me are traditional forex charts. Anything that is more news/speculation affected seems to just trend until some news happens, or just generally act ballistic like Bitcoin.

We have completed wave 5 off the $65 bottom.  This 5 wave structure, IMO, is wave 1 of the all time 5th wave.  Wave 1 ended at $32, 3 at $266, and we are starting wave 5.  After a decent correction, we will have wave 3 up that should be larger than wave 1.  This is, of course, only one possible scenario.  I can't predict the future.

That kind of rational humility has no place in these forums. Tongue

So by this theory, basically each "bubble" was an upward "all time" wave, and each "crash" was a downward "all time" wave?

That means that wave 5 began at $57, correct? So, by this theory, we're going to have to break $400 in all-time-wave-5, before correcting downward to about $32?

Wow, thats going to be a slight issue, is it not? I mean, its bitcoin, so I'm not disputing that it has the potential to happen, but... yea.

EDIT: have you tried applying the elliot wave on a log chart? Maybe that would prevent those wild swings from being quite so wild.

Log vs. Linear doesn't change the wave structure, but sometimes changing the axis can make it a little easier to recognize the structure.  For long term, there really isn't much option but log or percentage since otherwise everything before 8 months ago is flat on a linear scale.

It appears many new faces have entered the market and are entering the market.  My feeling is there will likely be corrections perhaps near the $200 mark (which is arbitrary after all) but the general longer-term trend will be upward.  Once $200 is well broken in then the next psychological barrier may be much higher.

Sincerely I am, Johnny BitcoinSeed .com

Looks like the OP was right, so how high will we climb? $300 by Christmas doesn't seem extravagant.
