• BTC/USD is expected to stay in a corrective mode for a little longer - either deep towards the Fibonacci retracement levels or shallow via an ABCDE contracting triangle.

  • Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is showing two lower highs and higher lows. This indicates a bearish correction within the strong uptrend.

  • A contracting triangle chart pattern seems to have the best papers at the moment. Let’s review the path of least resistance.

Price Charts and Technical Analysis

The BTC/USD is expected to stay in a corrective mode for a little longer. But once the correction is completed - either deep towards the Fibonacci retracement levels or shallow via an ABCDE contracting triangle - then the uptrend should resume and aim at the $50,000 target.

The BTC/USD is now building an ABC correction (pink) - ABC flat (sideways) or ABC zigzag (deep correction). This can expand into an ABCDE triangle chart pattern as well:

  • A triangle chart pattern is more likely if price action bounces (blue arrows) at the 144 ema and previous wave A bottom.

  • A break of the bottom could indicate an ABC zigzag instead (wave C’ pink).

  • A wave 4 (purple) correction is expected as long as price action does not break below the 78.6% Fib (yellow circle).

  • A bullish trend continuation is expected either after breaking the resistance (green arrows) and showing a bull flag (grey arrows) or after the ABCDE is completed.

On the 1 hour chart, we can see how the correction is unfolding. 

An ABC correction (grey) completed wave B (pink) at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Now another ABC (grey) is taking place within wave C (pink). 

The main criteria will be the breakout above the resistance (orange) or below the support (green) trend lines.
