Ethereum Price Bullrun Recap

Since July 22, several outlooks have been issued to our subscribers to keep eye on a possible liquidation and sharp v-shape retracement opportunity commonly referred to as a "knife catch". 

"Thus, placing an additional entry at the current time is unfavorable. A knife-catching opportunity could present itself within the $1,300-$1,350 zone in the coming days, with a bullish target in the $1,900 after the plunge. Invalidation of the uptrend scenario is now a breach below $1,270. "

On the same day, a now or never statement was issued. 

Invalidation of the uptrend scenario has been moved from $1,270 to $1,250 for wiggle room and accuracy. A more conservative approach would be to wait for a turn and breach above $1,460 before getting involved with the Ethereum price.

A Trader's Recap

Being a trader is never an easy task. You will never win them all and the big moves you miss or get wrong will probably hurt. Still as a trader, when opportunities present themselves you have to be ready to strike while practicing healthy risk management. That's all you can control.

Ethereum price has validated the uptrend scenario and can rally towards $1,900 in the short term. Traders in profit from the bullish setups this week should be aware that the Ethereum price shows divergence between two impulse waves, which deems the ETH price a difficult coin to hodl. A second retracement into the $1,270 level remains on the cards. Invalidation of the impulsive rally is still a breach of $1,250.

A fractal wave of Ethereum's previous auction market behavior has been put in place to keep aware of possible smart money traps that remain possible in the future.
