After further analysis, I've come to the conclusion that there is actually a much more likely count than my recent contracting triangle idea, one that I considered previously but rejected off-hand until I just did more detailed analysis. This count works between ALL cryptocurrencies I've observed and fits into all required rules AND guidelines, unlike my previous contracting triangle count. The other issues I had with the contracting triangle count are: Wave-e is too big and the channeling is abnormal. Since these are just guidelines and not hard rules, I can't "rule out" the contracting triangle count, but since the diametric fits into all rules AND guidelines, I can say with confidence that it is a much more probable count.
Regardless, there should still be a significant bottom near here, so that part hasn't changed. What has changed is that we are likely to go to around 8000-9000, and then retrace almost all or all of that wave and make new lows. Because this is a diametric, the exact price of the end of wave-f and -g will be very difficult to determine until after the fact, however, the exact timing of wave-f and -g should be fairly simple to forecast, because in a diametric usually 5 of 7 waves are time similar to each other, and the other 2 of 7 are time similar to each other (but different from the other 5). The price targets are very likely to shift, but the time targets should remain fairly consistent, so instead of waiting for a particular price, we should wait for a particular time. Wave-f should take about 1 month, and wave-g should take about 2 months.
I think around 4000-4800 is a good price for a bottom because there's big bullish harmonics around those prices, but It's possible we don't make new lows at all and still form a wave-g, so we'll really just have to wait and see where were at when the timing is right in roughly 3 months. Like my contracting triangle count, this count still has the same target of 100k+ by next year, and whenever this pattern does finally come to an end you'll definitely want to be in the market.
