[EW] All of the possible Scenarios for Bitcoin!#BTCUSDT #Daily #ElliottWave #Tommy - Hello dear traders from all over the world! It’s Tommy. It’s been quite a while since I uploaded any contents on EN server. Due to countless issues in Crypto industry as well as the macroeconomic status concerning us about inflation and recession at the same time, BTC recently broke previous low around 17k making a new significant low around 15.4k. Now is the time for us to update our TA perspectives on BTC by deriving new supports, resistances, top, bottom and target prices. Let us look at some possible future scenarios in terms of Elliott Wave Theory. - My first scenario indicates that the high(65k) born on April 2021 is the end of an impulsive cycle, corrective waves right after being the expanded flat. This then implies that the historical high at 69k is the end of flat wave B which exceeds previous wave 5 within an impulsive wave. We know that the flat corrective structure follows 3-3-5 zigzag rather than 5-3-5. Accordingly, the whole bearish wave structure was to be considered as red wave C composed of 5-3-5-3-5 zigzag. - Scenario A1 says that the downward impulsive green wave 5 within red wave C is ongoing right now. In this case, the current structure is most likely the downward impulsive black wave 3 or upward corrective black wave 4. Ending diagonal green wave 5 is also to be on the list, especially if either the black upward wave 4 retraces wave 3 deeper than expected or black downward wave 3 has already ended around 15k. Some of the considerable supports and resistances in this scenario are 13.4k~14.1k, 10.8k~11.8k, and 17.7k~18.5k. This scenario becomes invalid if BTC breaks above 21.5k. - Black wave B or C of upward corrective green wave 4 of red wave C is where we are right now according to scenario A2. This case expects BTC to break the downward channel above followed by decent bullish trend and then another strong rejection making a notable swing low after. Black wave 2 has also been regarded as some kind of flat structure. This very wave counting is off the list if BTC breaks above 33k, the end of green wave 1 after escaping the black parallel channel. If I were to be a bit more bullish, I can target the end of green wave 4 at 22.9k~23.7k and 27.4k~28.2k based on some technical components such as widening pattern(disjoint channel), 0.382 retracement level of downward cycle, and the horizontal volume profile, etc. - Rather than expanded flat described as above, regular correction with 5-3-5 zigzag was chosen on scenario B. I believe this very wave counting is so far the most popular one among the Elliott Wave traders globally. This case refers that the end of impulsive cycle has been completed at the historical high at 69k which then would be the end of impulsive red wave 5. Therefore 5-3-5 zigzag was implied on this whole falling wave structure starting from 69k. Well, then we are currently on green wave 4 or 5 within red wave C. - Similar to A1, B1 also regarded 25k high formed on August 2022 as the end of upward correction considering the falling wave structure right after as impulsive green wave 5. The chart below described the latest bearish waves as the black wave 3 within green wave 5 whether the 18k low is end of black wave 1 or running flat black wave B. The possibility of ending diagonal green wave 5 as well as the target prices (supports and resistances) are pretty much the same as A1’s. Retracing more than 21.5k that are thought to be the beginning of black wave 3, contradicts this scenario’s reliability. - B2 is also quite the same as A2 but the degrees of waves are different. This scenario implies flat correction as well and black wave C can be targeted at 22.9k~23.7k (Running flat) and 27.4k~28.2k (Expanded flat). Frankly, considering the proportion, this counting might be a little off the track when second target is reached. - From here, double three XWY corrective structure has been adapted on the falling wave that starts at the historical high. The dead cat bounce looking alike wave from 33k to 48k is then regarded as a wave failure, X. After the red wave X, the whole parts of the falling wave then fit into ABC 5-3-5, not the 12345 5-3-5-3-5 zigzag. I could say this scenario is far most the bullish comparing to A and B. - Starting from C1, this case considers the horizontal volumes formed around 30k as green wave B dividing this very wave into ABC 5-3-5 zigzag. Weighting more on the flow that downward green wave C is starting from 25k high and splitting inner wave as 5-3-5-3-5, this scenario expects that the bears are almost finished and even though BTC shows another swing low in the future, it’s not going to be that bad. The worst specific case within this scenario would be making a final bottom at 13.4k~14.1k before bullish phase takes in place. - C2 is just a tiny bit less bullish than C1, where downward ending diagonal green wave C with a huge black wave 1 is considered. It surely is too early to expect ending diagonal green wave 5 currently, but monitoring major highs and lows to keep track on the new significant trendlines that are to be appeared seems integral. The worst possible case would be BTC reaching the 1:1 projection level of green wave A and B, which is around 10.8k~11.8k. - Last but not least, triple double three WXYXZ correction counting has been conducted in this scenario since those of some impatient traders are starting to address another wave failure X. This wave counting describes another wave X after WXY thus regarding another ABC 5-3-5 zigzag starting from 25k high. - According to D1, 22.8k high is a starting point of a downward impulsive green wave C interpreted as 5-3-5-3-5. Honestly, assuming the downward black impulsive wave cycle started much later is not my number one scenario. Anyhow, the target price ranges of red wave Z are around 13.4k~14.1k and 10.8k~11.8k. - Also considering WYXYZ correction, D2 implies that the green wave b within red wave C is taking place right now. Similarly, green wave B then can be regarded as either expanded or running flat which then can target 17.7k~18.5k and 22.9k~23.7k. Just like A2 and B2, this scenario also expects bulls to come in shorter term before another huge drop in longer term. (Summary) Supports: 13.4k~14.1k, 10.8k~11.8k. 7.4k~8.4k Resistances: 17.7k~18.5k, 22.9k~23.7k, 27.4k~28.2k Tops(Prices that bulls should break above): 22.8k, 25k , 29k

$dYdX -Hit Top of Daily Bearish Order Block- Now Retracing *SMTSMT = See related idea on the analysis of what Smart Money Theory is. $dYdX seems to be the only crypto worth trading at the moment. As it hit the top of the Daily bearish order block and started reversing. Wick may have went through each side on the 4 hour but two four hour candles closed inside below the median of the Daily bearish order block . This is bearish movement. So I have two take profits. The first is within the huge 4 hour Fair Value gap below. Entry 2.441 Take Profit 1 - 2.068 (Top of Breaker) Take Profit 2 - 1.946 (Bottom of Breaker) Stop loss - CLOSES ABOVE 2.538 on the1 hour I don't play the stop loss game unless I'm Not going to pay attention and what matters on a stop loss is the close not We'll See what happens. But thats my educated guess. Usually, Smart Money teaches me right. (See related Idea Bitcoin- last short

What is OrderBlock ⁉️ ‼️ Order Blocks are candles where Market Makers (Banks) have placed their positions, generally, the market returns to those candles and they are never violated. There're 2 types of Order Blocks: 1. The Bullish Order Block is the last bearish candle before the bullish movement, that Break The Market Structure Higher. Represents a high possibility of holding the price, when the price returns to it. 2. The Bearish Order Block is the last bullish candle before the bearish movement, that Break The Market Structure Lower. Represents a high possibility of holding the price, when the price returns to it.

$ETH Short Now to 1292 (Scalpish) *SMT* EDIT: SL ChangeSMT = See related idea about "Smart Money TA" Price has broken buy side liquidity. Retail is expecting a breakout. And it's doing a good job of acting like it is going to continue upward Nope, It is now looking for an Imbalance. Below is a 4 HR Fair Value Gap. I'm being conservative and only reaching for the 62% retracement of the pullback. Additionally it would break the liquidity sitting at 1294.27. it could get deeper, it also may not. I edited the SL Because Price could possibly reach up tot the 15 minute Bearish Order Blocks. Entrance - now (1313.40) S/L - 1329.61 (Edited) TP - 1292.45 KUCOIN:ETHUSDT COINBASE:ETHUSD CME:ETH1!

$GBPUSD - Sterling Needs More Attractive Price for Buyers *SMT**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm sorry, but you won't convince me that Tesla or Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react to that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will do 2 things 1) move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines , etc.) and 2) Move toward Imbalance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids. Open Gaps) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas.* As the price of the pound has fell to record lows this year, During the london session it dropped a filled a daily fair value gap. However it has not returned tp the starting gap price to completely fill in the imbalance. Sterling is usually a sure bet when thinking long term VS the USD, it's going to need to drop a little more for Investors to feel safe with their money in the Sterling again. With the current wave and the dollar moving up, The pound Should be heading down toward below a current liquidity level and the bulloish order Block. I may have already missed the best entrance, and it could just be going straight down in here, but I have my traders hunch it will pull up during the US session and fall last minute. This trade may take a while to play out not just two days like my EURUSD trade did. However to get there it will have to create an illusion that it will buy during the NY SESSION and instead will fall into next week possibly. Or it could create equal lows giving the illusion of support and the up into the red and drop OANDA:GBPUSD TVC:DXY BET:GBPUSD1! CME_MINI:M6B1!

$EURUSD - UPDATE: New Entry, Close 15 min FVG then BEARISH *SMT**SMT = SMART MONEY THEORY* WHERE INSTITUTIONS RIP RETAIL TRADERS TO SHREDS BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Please see related Idea for details. I posted on earlier 0.98045but after watching it closely I only believe it will get as high as enclosing a 15 min Fair Value Gap, then it wil drop aiming for the liquidity uner neath last friday's lows. which is also 1 standard deviation below the Asian Range during the Asian Session. I'M GOING 2% OF ACCOUNT -USING ALL 50 OF MY LEVERAGE entry - 0.98045 S/L - 0.98540 TP 0.97080 IF YOU FIB FROM THAT LAST 15 MIN CANDLE UP BEFORE THE LARGE DROP, YOU'LL SEE IT WILL RETURN ABOUT 80% OF THE RETRACEMENT. THAT'S ABOUT NORMAL FOR RETRACEMENTS. OANDA:EURUSD BMFBOVESPA:EUR1! ICEUS:DX1! BIST:EURUSD1!

$XRP - Hedging Bullish Against Pevious Call? *SMT**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm Sorry, but you won't convince me that Tasla or Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react from that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it.

The Third thing to remember is price will do 2 things 1) move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines etc.) and 2) Move toward Imbalance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids. Open Gaps) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas.* I batttled withthis and had two ideas and I've narrowed it down to one. It should fill the 4 hour fair value gap bellow before shooting up and filling the Weekly fair value gaps created back in May/April So Currently the price dropped today in the new day and month but has not finished out the week. And I don't think that my original idea will be finished out this week. I do believe that the price will Move up. because if you look at the current Wave, the 162% is the current high within the last few days . Additionally it is within the weekly Faif value gap that it entered and droped created an Instititional Order Entry Drill (WHICH IS THE CURRENT HIGH) Now you can enter now with little leverage and leave a atop loss of about $0.42000 as well as a second entry of $0.4400 with the same stop loss. also with very low leverage. The reasoon I have it bullish above these prices are because the last quartly highs haven't been above $0.4100 and I would expect them to stay above that considering the weekly fair value gap prices. However, I do take a step back and think that it could fulfill the current 4 hour fair value gap before moving updward and then fulfilling the weekly fair value gap before getting to the current high. So that's why I have a thir entry, this would be high leveraged and the current 4 hour fair value gap price jumps from .4050 to .4230 Lastly I have an entry of $.42500 with a stop loss that would cover the 4 hour fair value gap and that entry would be the last bullish order block of $0.42545 covering to the previou areas consolidation low of $0.3760 ( 9however, if this is what you think you might as well add more leverage to your short and us these numbers as take profit) although, it' really the 4 hour FVG Low of 0.40550 that O dpn't think it will get lower than before I put on a high leverage long through the current Weekly Fair Value Gap and Hoping It gets to the other weekly Fair value Gap just above it. as you can see the weekly lows of the current chart are balanced vut where there is a weekly fair value gap above that price usually wants to fill, this is where the unbalanced act is that needs to be balanced. If it does fill the below 4 hour fair vlaue gap, my previous idea's take profit is complete and then it should move up to complete the banlancing of the weekly now that the daily's have been balanced. But if it goes up first and completes the balancing of the weekly, I wouldn't be surprised to see price not hi my original stop loss and turn around and filll the 4 hour gap. So just to be clear here is what I think the scaenarios are on chart 1. Now until $.4400 is an entry with a S/L of $0.42 Staying above highs. but falling again once it covers the weekly FVG near 5585 or 2. Entry at or below $0.4250 to $0.40550 To up above 0.5585 In which case the original idea has hit it's Take profit and now we're just going the opposite way So while I believe it is going to long, right now, it's whether it's going to go long short term and fall back to cover the 4 hour? Or cover the 4 hour FVG first and then go long? Considering most prices still follow bitcoin and I think Bitcoin still has time to get to it's ultimate low of $15,6 I think it's going to cover the second option first, clear out my first take profit and then head to my second. Giving it a 3.25 R:R. However, if you think right now is the time to go long, then you have a 2.75 R:R ... This is why I currently have a small amount in low 3x leverage going long, because if the second comes true, I can get 4 times the amount if I enter correctlty with 12 x leverage. Because I believe either are going to win. And I might Just not enter a second time until .41 and just ad double my current entry and have 15x leverage rather than losing any at all. Quite a bit to think about but any of these scenarios I believe are winners, It's just paying attention to Bitcoin now.

Smart Money Concepts versus Long Money ConceptsFor the past 2 years I'd say I endowed myself in the study of a few technical approaches, and I have to say the most flawed is using smart money concept annotations to build a trade bias, as each annotation from a BOS, to order block can be subjective on every time frame. I feel the overlying goal for any trader is to first align themself with the trend. As you see on this chart, I have a refined, untapped order block on this 15 minute chart succeeding a bleed off in the previous session followed by what most traders perceive as a dead range but it isn't. I've come to notice in these ranges, price tends to scatter interest using a series of corrections on lower timeframes. Flats, Running Flats, and Diagonals are scattering price movements, but nowadays they call them complex pullbacks. Shaking my head. It's complex because the language you are trying to codify the price movements with does not align with the environment. Now order blocks in line with the trend are high probability, but is usually succeeding a correction. I think ever since liquidity became a focal point of most traders as now it is a buzzword, most traders only look for nuances such as CHOCH, which is simply an ABC, with order flow being extending and clear intentions made in the C leg. I mean it sounds cool, but its all buzzwords, and have no relation to the true nature of pricing. Price does not just move, reverse, or stop. It fluctuates in what may seem as unpredictive nature but in all reality its all mathematical and involves keeping a study of price action and the models you build using the same predictive format. Of course with the addition of granularity into the lower timeframes, trying to trade order blocks may seem incomprehensible, because at most times it is. Understanding Price cannot be done with SMC alone, and I feel most traders who do employ the idea of SMC are looking for marketability factors for their trading and more or less uses ICT concepts to overlay their own trading understanding, ICT even said himself that Order blocks are just visual representations. Visual representations of price activity at specific point in time. But what did the order block accomplish? Why are you positioned within the order block itself? This is why I don't trade SMC and removed it from my trading understanding and rather I u It doesn't build enough context. Now lets add context to this bearish order block at (C)5 on the 15M. We can make assumption that the strong order flow in the sell to buy includes the 3rd wave extension as price made a sub minor correction in the 47 percent area of the sub impulse (C)5, which is the (A) wave. At the print of the A wave, the bullish sub impulse was so weak, it didn't shift any order flow on the 4H chart, but in contrast, the correction back into order flow gave print to wider range bear candles in comparison to the previous bullish order flow. Although corrective, price made clear objective to extend price downward over time with a definable 3rd wave extension and impulse back into the untapped supply to demand flip which is another SMC concept. This if course brought in many traders of this concept, and with it trade stops just below the order block which was eventually ran as you can see. Now for everything else. Ill just update the idea if requested. Im tired of typing at this point. Thank you though and feel free to comment.

$XAUUSD - CoT Suggests A Quick Short Before the Long Run *SMT*Inverse relationship with the dollar may also suggest a quick short as the dollar just dropped from the all time-high. The dollar may start to pull back down and if so we should see Gold rise. But not after it shorts from the next bearish order block to the nearest Bullish order block and by looking at the Commitment of Traders for Gold Futures, it appears that the longs outweigh the shorts over all. But short term there are mostly shorts. Here's the daily up close to see how the CoT Compares. As we know bonds have not been great this year and currency chases the bond yield . If the yield is inverse the bond then It may suggest that all currency become weaker which would make gold more valuable. That's why I believe this may be the last short to capitalize on before it takes off. I expect the short to happen during the London session just a little after midnight NY Time, I would expect the gold start creeping higher until it around 2-3 a.m. a rush up into that bearish order block and then a slow drop through the rest of the day until the end of the London session, that's when I would expect it hit the bullish order blck and turn around and start moving back up. We'll see what happens I guess. Good luck and happy trading :) OANDA:XAUUSD COMEX:GC1!
