BTC - in its darkest hour, UPDATED!After a good discussion on the Chart-Attack group (Telegram), thanks to one member Urban V, I'm more convinced of the above possibilities.
What we have in this chart is Grand Wave (impulse) shown in red. In pink is the mini-wave which is forming wave 5 of the grand wave. The pink is scenario A, and you will see a possibility off that in a dark purple, which is scenario B.
Scenario A shows that we have not completed mini-wave 3. We would likely go to the 6k to do a double bottom test, before bouncing (mini-wave 4 to point 4a), likely to the end of mini-wave 1, $7200. It's possible if we do not strictly conform to elliot wave principles that we go into wave 1 territory and test the all-time high trend line 2. From here (higher probability from $7200), we enter mini-wave 5 and can move anywhere in that lower box (ignore date position). It is possible to drop as much as $3200, which would be equal to the size of wave 3 to point 3a. That could bring us to $4k, and there is a support line just below this level, $3,900ish.
Scenario B shows that at $6.6k btc we completed mini-wave 3 (at point 3b), and are now in wave 4b. This could also not conform strictly to elliot wave principles and test the all-time-high trend line at around $8.2k BTC. This would drop us down into the upper box range (ignore date position), and give us a double bottom bounce at 6k. $5.4k is a support level, but reaching this level would be make wave 5b slightly longer than 3b. Too many rules broken, so far less likely in my opinion.
As, only a fool relies on one potential outcome.

Btc-bottom
Calling bottom! on BITCOIN BTC / USD = $5,547 - $5,856 Buy zone?Hi guys.
All eyes eagerly await the 'bottom' of this volatile bear market down trend.
Bitcoin isn't perfect (yet) but I belive in the tech so I personally do not think it will go to zero.
Looking at the 1 day chart and utilising a slightly amended fib retracement (50% removed) I am going out on a limb and calling the bottom somewhere between $5,547 - $5,856 (variation due to using wicks / real bodies)
Of course this level could be broken but I can see no reason for much lower levels due to the cost of mining Bitcoin (in the USA at least) As people like round numbers and the level has been tested maybe $5,500 is the magic number.
Personally I will be adding to my portfolio within the above range - and holding for the LONG TERM.
We could see some consolidation and little movement in the market for anywhere up to a few weeks (as crypto moves much quicker than other markets I don't think it will be months after this huge sell off)
Watch for the volume spikes at the levels mentioned above.
For entertainment purposes I do think we can see $40,000 bitcoin by the end of 2018. However, unlike before there is now a LOT of overhead resistance to contend with. Remember that when the bulls return.
I guess we shall see. Either way hold on tight, its going to be a bumpy ride!
I am not a pro so welcome all constructive comments.

How to find market bottoms-- HOW TO FIND MARKET BOTTOMS --
Here we see that btcusdlongs/btcusdshorts gets a huge spike upwards while bitcoin itself is going down.
Similar to RSI, this is a classic divergence that shows that people don't feel safe holding shorts any longer and/or want to go long and catch the bottom.
With a btc/usd overlay it's very easy to see how during previous btc bottoms, btcusdlongs/shorts gets a huge spike and soon after btc/usd rebounds as well.
Another tool i like to use is the cm williams vix fix that finds market bottoms by itself, just make sure to use it on multiple larger time frames to confirm the absolute bottom.
Nexium / Bitcoin - The Big Turnaround?Nexium found the support at 1140 satoshi that was confirmed by a 427.2% Fibonacci retracement level applied to the corrective wave after the uptrend trendline breakout. There was a very clean support rejection and besides this the previous bottom price of the Nexium back in the end of 2016.
This is indeed a key price for NXC/BTC and while the support is being rejected, it could result in a huge turnaround in favor of the Nexium. The price could potentially just 5-10 times, but of course, it yet to be seen and it could also be just a corrective wave up.
Nevertheless, the growth potential is huge, at least compared to the risk. Only a daily close below the 10k satoshi psychological support could invalidate bullish outlook.
Waves - Triple bottom? It seems like waves is at the bottom again, there is a proven support in the boxed zone.
Triple bottom is shown buy the elipses. This is where it usually decides to go up again. Could be easy money if BTC stabilizes a little but BTC has beast mode on again..
IF breaks support, there will be more blood... I will take the risk with this triple bottom... =)
BTC BOTTOM UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON DAILYAnalizing the daily chart on renko visualization i put a good indicator to find the possible bottoms. As you can see when the bars turn from grey into green we have a good chance to find the bottoms, in particular if combined with bars that reach a top and begin to retrace. Now we have the green phase that lasts from 2 bars and we need a confermation to find the bottom. I put a channel that touches the lows and draw a parallel line on other significant lows to find the possible targets. Drawing the trend based fib extensions i have found the 345 area as a possible reversing area, otherwise this brings to the 300 area in the worst scenario. If the green bar decreases from now we have probably reached the bottom.
Good luck for your trading
