Good morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
I have had several disagreements with others prior to this setback at $11,800, stating that we will not cross $12,000 before making a correction to the $9,000 level. I was met with lots of disagreement, as usual, and that's fine. It's merely that they don't understand why we were going to go down, and they want it to do something different simply because they put their money on a specific bet, and that would be counter-intuitive to their bet on "up". So, I'm not taking it personal. But, we need to see what's going on in this chart to understand why we must make a further ride down, and why we got rejected so hard in the first place.
I saw dozens of charts posting that we had broken the major downtrend channel when we were around $11,500. The chart I was looking at, we weren't even close to it yet. So I started peaking around at different exchanges, and looking at different currencies besides the USD to see what their charts looked like. It was a mixed bag of results. Some charts had entirely different patterns, some had broken the downtrend, and some weren't even near it yet.
That screamed bull trap to me. But, I had called for this bull trap when we were at $10,500, saying "you better watch out for the bull trap when that downtrend appears to be broken."
So, why the setback? Why here? Why $11,800? Well, honestly, it should have gone to $12,000-$12,200, but as you probably know, targets don't always get met, and it's not uncommon for a target to get missed by 2-3%, especially one that is obvious. To me, $12,000 was obvious, so, we stopped at $11,800. I was taking profit from $11,500-11,750, and was able to get rid of about 80% of my bag, and have had to ride down with the remaining 20%. No worries! I got rid of 80%! Cheap coins coming to me later! But why $12,000? Well, there was clearly resistance there. And, $12,000 is a nice 100% profit spot from the $6,000 bottom.
When we printed our bottom at $6,000 (yes, that is our bottom, stop worrying about those who are calling for more), we printed two possible patterns, and we left a wide gaping hole open at $9,000 that was not checked for support.
We either printed an Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern. Or, we printed an Adam and Eve pattern.
If we printed an Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, then we are to come back and test the neckline for support before making further up movements.
If we printed an Adam and Eve pattern, then we are to come back and test the peak line for support before further up movements.
So, where do we go from here? Well, we will bounce around a little bit here. I think we could see as high as $11,400 before we start the real down movement. Maybe we don't get that. But, we need to locate where our bottom could be in this fall, and in my opinion, there are two possible spots.
We have the Adam and Eve Neckline around $9,100. And we have the Inverse Head and Shoulders neckline around $8,000 - $8,400. We will get a further idea of which one it plans on targeting once this pattern clarifies itself here over the next 24 hours. But as for now, my plan is to add half my position at $9,100, watch the reaction, see if we have further down movements, if we do, I'll add more down there, if we show reversal at $9100, I'll add the remaining on some pull backs down there.
But let me leave you with some good news. I think our bottom is in. And I think we have a very nice ride up ahead of us, and this should be our final setback before making a beautiful ride up to $17,000. So, trade with care. Trade with education. And, trade at your own risk. Your failures are not my responsibility :)
Good luck.
