Big Capitulation Pattern and Bull Trap Would Make Sense Now.

466
We now have a lot of match up in how the BTC and SPX moves have formed with both of them showing properties of what could be a choppy wave 4.

This would predict we see a period of panic selling (likely driven by news) and then we enter into the ABC correction.

Now ... by the book, if a bigger bear move is happening the high should now be in. If there's to be a big bull trap it'll be an ABC to the 76 retracement and then there'll be a sharp second down leg - surpassing the first.

By the way things actually are, we have to be wary of the butterfly bull trap. This would look and act identical to a 76 reversal up to a certain point and then it would make a hyper parabolic spike - which would briefly trade at new highs before setting up a big rug-pull event.

I explained in a previous post 70K was a critical make or break area. Upon further swing development I still think that's broadly correct but a false breakout could go as far as 65K.

If we get a sharp period of capitulation here I'll be very careful with my shorts. Trailing stops aggressively.

And likely be very bullish around 65K. So long as I can get reasonable stop entries (breaking of this area could mean an out and out waterfall - would not be a fun knife catch if you tried to hold it).

I kinda have a feeling the worst for the BTC drop might be directly ahead of us, but that is also likely the low for the foreseeable future.

Contingent on there being the sharp drop (ideally with news to explain it) and me seeing things I like in the 65K zone I can see me being extremely bullish on this in the coming month.
Note
This may end up being worse than I thought and these next supports may break with only nominal reactions also.

From the highs I'd expected to see strong sell offs, but this really does look worse than I'd expected.

By this point, even if we were beading lower overall, I expected to see signs of the downtrend blowing off. What we have is far more consistent with downtrends developing.
Note
Low might be in here.

SPX and BTC generally move together and SPX I think is a long now. I'm out crypto shorts.
