BTCUSD - having topped on 14th April at $64,895.22 (on Bitstamp) its initial decline appears to be a leading diagonal of 3-3-3-3-3 structure completing on 20th July. The rally since then has approached the proximity of 61.8% retracement around $50k - $52k as potential area of structural resistance, in an abc zigzag accompanied with multiple divergences on...
The earlier published chart suggesting short did not develop as the retracement bounce was still in progress see chart linked below (29th June). This now appears to be complete and therefore, I am republishing the idea with revised/adjust wave counts and associated details. I think it could offers even better level to short from with relatively lower risk. ...
Background: The current bearish cycle commenced in February 2018 and it is still intact and has some way to go.

From 26th June 2019 the BTC appear to have declined in a leading diagonal Wave (a) with low on 23rd October 2019. Since then it could be forming a Running Flat (which are normally 5,3,5 or 3-3-5 structure) where wave “c” fails to retest the high of wave “a”. This is a bearish structure as it suggests the the price lacks the momentum to make normal zigzag...

Over all we are in major bearish cycle for EURUS as per my last chart I published in January 2018 which you can check in the link below.

Background I don’t have an in depth knowledge of the fundamentals of the 2 economies involved in the currency pair AUDNZD except to say that Australian economy might have larger component dependent on mining resources which is being affected by the trade war between USA & China.

There has been growing bearish sentiment for GBP contributed by among other things the lack of progress on Brexit negotiation which might continue. However, it might have been overdone based on COT data as at 21st August and released on 24th August 2018 (please see chart below under update).

In my original post of Pound Sterling’s Prospects - seeing through the “Brexit” fog published just before the UK’s Brexit vote, a significant low was anticipated towards the late 2016 and early 2017.
