Well, it turns out that today was an exciting day for day traders of Bitcoin. We have not, as of this writing, gotten a close above 750 that would demonstrate a higher high and signal a resumption of the rally of recent weeks. However, for short-term traders we did get a close on the 2-hour chart that broke through the 1×1 angle; indeed, the rally went all the way to the 8×1 angle. Here is that 2-hour chart:
Now I’m going to say something I know will upset a few bulls out there: “I would not buy here.” If there is a close just a bit higher, above 750, I would buy it there. IMHO to buy here is chasing a rally that is most likely already spent. For Elliott Wave traders, there is no discernible way (that I can see) to label this rally from the low a “5”. All I see are “3”s.
If there is a rally another 12 points higher, with a close above $750, I will miss that $12. I can live with that – $12 is not that much in the larger scheme of things. Personally, I would much rather miss out on $12 than buy what I suspect is a swing high.
Ethereum dropped a bit to seek support which it found at the 2nd arc. This was the second successful test of that arc. It rebounded to get back above the 1×1 Gann angle.
By the way, I noticed something interesting on the Bitcoin 2-hour chart. Note that the blue vertical lines are spaced 30 degrees of earth rotation apart. For the past several cycles, there has been a big spike, up or down, at that time.
Happy trading!
