Although bitcoin does have an official new ATH, the work isn’t done yet. It was just a tiny wick, with no action or daily close above. Instead we got a huge dump from a flash crash in the major exchanges. Ugh.
After a billion dollar flush of open interest, stops, and orders, and after a day of recovery and simmering, the resistance is still palpable as can be seen from a demarcation trend line that has proven effective for the day in keeping the bulls below 68k.
This trend line arises from a fourth wave triangle of the recovery wave from the bottom of the crash, as seen in the chart.
This presents a scenario in which a new ATH can be punched from the energy accumulated in the compressed triangle trading in form of an impulse out of wave E of the triangle.
The maximal height (green arrow) of this impulse is limited by the size of wave three, as a third wave cannot be the shortest wave, as wave one was a bit longer than wave three.
