Gann Square
Harmonic sequences: Cypher or Shark expected
BTC tried the Gann Square's arc and stagnated there for a while - the chart is developing precisely as we predicted .
After the black swan summons the dragon, a cypher (.786) or a shark (.886) pattern is expected next.
Usually, the chart rebounds approximately between 0.5 and 0.618, even when the consecutive pattern formation isn't inhibited.
However, we don't see any such break in the chart this time.
BTC exhibits immaculate movement of harmonic patterns sequence, which implies how deep and persistent this decline could be.
For the details of this analysis, please look at the related ideas below.
I will write an educational subject to explain the price action pattern shortly.
Potential Black swan would summon a dragon
BTC has been rejected at the apparent resistance of the 25200 zone.
Gann Square, as applied, also implies that the buy-side liquidity above is hard to reach.
Moreover, a harmonic black swan pattern (black) has formed, which would trigger another potential bearish harmonic pattern - a dragon (red).
The bearish dragon's target would be 0.618 (20104) -0.786 (19001).
However, given the Gann Square Arc's support, 0.618 or shallower is likely for the initial move.
Bearish dragon pattern unfolding
With a harmonic black swan's fluttering, BTC has broken the daily trendline (green) as the support, forming a red, bearish dragon pattern.
This price action is precisely what we predicted in our previous idea .
Please look at the related ideas for the further development expected to follow.
Is BTC forming a Bearish Flat?
In my previous ideas, I examined the possibility of the daily BTC chart forming a double zigzag, WXY, of which an X-wave may be about to complete. This hypothesis has yet to be invalidated.
X-waves often become what Elliott called flat corrections- so let's check the characteristics of a flat correction. As the name implies, a flat corrective wave has ABC waves of similar heights. However, the mutual ratio of "similar" can be 123.6%, 138.2%, or 161.8%, which is hardly even. Still, the movement is more horizontal in the big picture compared to the trending markets.
We might've already got B, extending in the 123.6-138.2% range of A, and C, which should be substantially at the "similar" height of A.
C could extend to around 138.2%, which is approximately 27. 5k. But, in any case, this height would be near the intersection of the Gann Square Arcs in my chart. This range would, of course, also include the previous high of roughly 25200.
Each time a high in the past is overcome, the range of time and price of an uptrend in Dow Theory widens, and we become more optimistic.
However, the possibility of a double zigzag in Elliott wave theory still hasn't been completely ruled out. In this case, a typical shape of an X wave, a flat (expanded), could be formed at the potential junction of a downward wave at the higher level. Plus, we've already got a bearish anti-Gartley harmonic pattern, which could induce immediate reversal.
Another possible Gann Square analysis with Fibo Channel
This is an alternative to my previous idea .
If 23k is a significant pivot, this reading will present a more convincing confluence.
I overlaid a Fibonacci Channel parallel to Gann Fan 8 x1 and horizontals tangent to the arc.

BTC Gann Squre and Arcs: Update
Gann Square, as applied, has exhibited surprisingly accurate S & R zones.
If this hypothetical mapping of potential pivot zones is still effective, BTCUSDT will challenge the next arc at around 25k, which is obviously a significant resistance zone.
From my personal experience, tangents to arcs, among other trendlines, often serve as S & R, at least for a short term.
So around 24.4k zone could also be what to watch.
*Unless 25.2k is broken, this idea is still coherent with my previous idea in which Gann Square and Arcs is applied differently.

I don't rule out the possibility of a further breakout, but I see a potential for a pullback, at least.

What if we are still in a fifth wave?
There is the market observation that the BTC price has already bottomed out.
True, the solid rebound for around 21500 was reminiscent of the start of a new uptrend.
If we are already in at least a short-term one, as the bulls would believe, expecting a retracement back to 0.618 (35712), 0.786 (41214), or even 0.886 (44489) level first is convincing.
Here, however, I would like to focus on another possibility.
What if we are still in the middle of the descending fifth wave?
The Pitchfork and Gann square may indicate there are supports and resistances that such a move would fit in.
After all, unless 25200 zone is clearly exceeded, we cannot completely rule out a move toward the new low, in which case it's possibly below 14000 (9500-12500 is likely).
Daily bullish dragon challenging the arc
This is the sequel of our previous ideas in which we saw the arc having confined BTC within it and a 4H-timeframe bullish dragon .
BTC gained bullish momentum after getting out of the arcs' crosspoint, forming the LTF dragon pattern .
17200 resistance has already been touched, likely to be broken.
17600-17900 is another solid resistance zone. So we could eye profit shorting from there.
But the daily chart indicates BTC already has formed another same bullish formation which could develop into as high as 20.18k as the 0.786 retracement level, or even higher.
Given the enormous descending triangle to the left and the arc that exhibited the incredible confinement that dried up all the BTC volatility, 20k+ from now is certainly questionable.
But we should note that this fickle speculative asset has always betrayed the expectations of the vast majority of the market- once again, the candle could burn out brightest before extinguishing itself.
Volatility expected after clearance of the arcs containing BTC
BTC is trading within a very narrow range.
There may be reasons for the exceptionally low volatility, one of which might be provided by arc analysis.
As can be read from the chart, BTC has been contained in a crosspoint of the arcs.
By scrolling the above chart, it can be seen how well the arcs have served S & R.
Coming out of that area, BTC is expected to slowly recover its volatility, perhaps within a couple of days.
If the arcs are strong resistance, 18K or higher prices are less likely, esp. in HTF.
For the expected upside move, please look at my related idea below.
Another Decending Triangle?
This is the sequel of my related idea .
The arc resistances indicate the possibility that BTCUSDT might experience fractal formation after the breakout of the left descending triangle.
If another minor Descending Triangle is forming, BTC will still trade within the range for a while before the bearish continuation develops to its full scale.
Watch 17200 and 17600
Looks like it will break persisting indecision shortly.
The key price would be roughly 17200 and 17600 (see related ideas below).
I'm interested in whether BTC defeats the bearish AB=CD to form a diagonal triangle with an upside throw-over, or ends up in "failure" in Elliott's sense.
BTC in compression
We are amid a double-bottom rebound in the short-term timeframe, which looks like a triple-bottom pattern that reminds us of the inverse head and shoulders.
Nevertheless, the chart is moving slowly. Why is this? At least the arc answers. We are in the middle of a compression. Where does the compressed energy go?
Let's look to the left here. Even conservatively, symmetrical and descending triangles are formed, and if we do a more non-standard pattern fitting, is this an inverse cup & handle? If so, it's odd that the decline stops where the top of the green box indicates.
By the way, the chart has long respected the gray arc. It seems to be wobbling around, but if BTC turns around and resumes its dismal gray or monotonous decline, we should still see the bottom below.
However, one never knows what will happen in the market. Let's keep an eye on the compression ahead.
*Hate comments or meaningless criticism are not welcomed but will be immediately reported.
For those who hate arcs but like more standard analysis, see my previous idea .
Is USDJPY forming an Elliott impulse?: Back to 141.2 then 135
If the chart is forming an Elliot impulse wave, and the sharp drop last week was the third wave of it, we will see the fourth wave correction and arrive at the short-term target of 135.0.
As detailed in the related idea linked below, I would see an elongated range formation, and it could take years for the yen to recover its original level.
Pitchfork. the arks, and the fans are additional TA elements in this analysis, so if you hate them, especially Gann Square, ignore them. Or skip this idea. Offensive comments aren't welcome (and will be reported)
Elliot impulse to complete at 135?
As we predicted in one of our scenarios below, the chart seems to complete an Elliot impulse (its first wave could be a non-standard impulse or a diagonal).
Because this chart respects Gann Square and arcs, the fifth wave will likely land around 135. This also fulfills one of the standard extensions of the H &S downfall, i.e., FE2.000.
Possible next developments:
- Ascending triangle -forming corrective wave ABC before the next impulsive bearish movement. A bearish scenario in which the chart fails to extend more than FE 1.272 or so for I. H&S and turns around.
- 5-0 -to retest the daily high. If it rebounds at around 138, the chart can be construed as still bullish. This is less likely, considering the U.S. interest rate hike will cease.
*Although I know there are some haters for Gann Square and Arcs, any meaningless hate comments are immediately reported.
