Elliott wave analysis: Ethereum Classic 4hr tf Price action in this analysis from the price bottom of ~ $13.16 on April 6, 2018 to current date has been captured in a price channel with a minute wave ((iii)) position that just ended. This implies that a correction is next i.e. Minute wave ((iv)). A guideline for the terminal point of wave ((iv)) is at the 38.2% retracement of wave ((iii)). The 38.2% ($19.89) retracement coinciding with the bottom of the channel (marked with the blue box) increases the chance of price actually targeting this region for support.
The region of support as used in this analysis is the 38.2% and 50% retracement ($19.89 and $19.13).
Further evidence indicating the possibility of a retracement is also provided by the 4hr tf RSI has shown in this analysis with a downward slope out of its overbought region. Termination of wave ((iv)) in the support region should be followed by minute wave ((v)) targeting the upper region of the channel and arrows are shown to indicate the trajectory for the price of Ethereum Classic (ETCUSD).
Point of invalidation (POI) for this analysis is placed just below a 61.8% retracement of wave ((iii)) by wave ((iv)). POI = ~$17.61
Ethereum Classic’s (ETCUSD) 4hr tf updateMy previous post on ETCUSD can be found here:
Ethereum Classic’s current uptrend on the 4hr tf has been updated with the possibility of a Minor and intermediate wave degree terminating at ~$13.15 on April 06,2018, which both support the establishment of the current uptrend.
The most likely target for Ethereum classic is the 4th wave of the previous degree (i.e. Minor wave 4). This region has been indicated on the chart (~ $20.83 and ~$20.13). It would be great to see Ethereum classic hold in the region of the target area with another 3 wave correction established, as this would imply even further higher price for Ethereum Classic.
Point of invalidation (POI) for this analysis is a price close below ~$13.72
Swing Trading with Classic. Bull trend. Correction Part?
The last idea we considered a short position in Ethereum Classic. We received on my the idea of +5% profit. Now consider the swing strategy. Looks like he's still in correction, I'm not so sure. But I think he'll also draw a triangle. But here I have designated it as an impulse
