Oh Jebus. I think I may have found our real bottom.
Tonight I was messing around with BLX using Fib, and I found something very interesting.
From the 2014 ATH, we had a net total of around a roughly ~86% retracement from ATH to end of bear.
From the 2017 ATH, we had a net total of around a roughly ~85% retracement from ATH to end of bear.
Interesting that from ATH to bear bottoms are eerily close in both 2014 and 2017.
This is likely why we rallied so hard. The percentages were almost exactly the same.
Also interesting to note. 2015 was a confirmed bottom because there were months of sideways consolidation, finally ending in a higher low and then? Bullrun!
There are a few things though that stick out to me more than the eerily close percentages.
First of all, look at price action. From the actual bear market bottom of 2015, the price action was pretty much entirely sideways in a range. So far, every true Bitcoin bear market bottom has been sideways consolidation for many months. This time is different?
From the 2019 'bear market bottom' however, we instantaneously skyrocketed in a parabola, where the weekly is showing massive divergence in the RSI.
I'd like to point something out to you, to get you a little woke. Look at the candles of 2014.
When 2014 had its A wave retracement, the next monthly candle was by far and wide bullish engulfing.
B waves in Elliott Theory are argued to be the shortest duration in time out of the ABC series and are often very powerful. If you ignore the size of the first bull candle in 2019 and instead combine the first 3 or 4 candles, you get 2014 B wave.
Another thing. If you measure the A and C wave corrections from ATH in 2014 rather than from ATH to bottom, there's something interesting to be found.
The original A wave retracement back in 2014 was 70.61%.
For C wave in 2014, if you measure from the .382 Fibonnaci retracement of A wave rather than the top of B wave until bottom, the total retracement for C wave equals ~75.3%. 4.7% more than A wave!
So, if we apply the same game theory in our current situation as what happened in 2014...
From the 2017 ATH, we had a net total of around a roughly ~84.15% retracement from ATH to the 'end of the bear.'
If the ~84.15% retracement from the 2017 ATH was simply A wave as I suspect, then we simply add 4.7% more on to A waves total to find C wave, which would equal an 88.85% retracement from the .382 Fibonacci retracement of our current ATH.
Best part? Take a look at the 100 MA on the monthly. Our 2018 'bear market' didn't even wick to it.
If it keeps going the way it is now it will be 'very strong' support that fakes everyone out during the halvening thinking it's the REAL bottom.
I bet we pump before/during ish the halvening at around $2,200/$2,400 to bull trap people.
Reason #1 it will be a bulltrap- the 100 MA on the monthly will be 'INCREDIBLE, INSTITUTITONAL level support' around ~$2,200/$2,400. In 2014, the 50 MA had just started to show. Very similar to what the current 100 MA is doing. So, people will think the 100 MA will be the inpenetrable support.
Reason #2, take a look at the percentage lost in 2014 from the .382 retracement. 75.3%.
When we break our current low at $3,120, everyone will flock to a 75.3% retracement from our current ATH .382 retrace to be our 'final low' because that's what it did in 2014. History always repeats right?
Oops.
