BTC/USD trading strategy

Following a strong bounce in a corrective a-b-c wave structure, BTCUSD has tested the 0.618 Fibonacci resistance and is now starting to show weakness. The Elliott Wave structure suggests that wave (b) is close to completing and could soon move downward into wave (c).

Trading strategies

Strategy

  • For swing traders (short-term): If the price drops below 90,817, it is likely that BTCUSD will start wave (c) aiming for a deeper target near 74,322 or even lower.

Risk management

  • If the price moves above 96,143 and surpasses 109,427, the current downtrend structure will be invalidated, requiring an immediate reassessment.
