$MARA: Buying opportunity in Marathon Digital Holdings in seven swings

Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (formerly Marathon Patent Group) is a digital asset technology company. It engages in mining cryptocurrencies, with a focus on the blockchain ecosystem and the generation of digital assets. Founded 2010 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, one can trade it under ticker $MARA at NASDAQ. Currently, we see cryptocurrencies turning for another bullish cycle higher. In fact, the rally in prices of cryptocurrencies should push higher and may even provide a magnifying effect on the share prices of cryptocurrency mining/producing companies. Therefore, Marathon Digital Holdings being one of digital assets producers should become a profitable invetsment target as it should ramp up along with acceleration in cryptocurrencies prices.

In the initial article from May 2023, we were calling for a new bullish cycle. We were right, we have broken the weekly descending channel. Now, we see 5 waves up from December 2022 lows. Clearly, it supports the bullish case. Now, short term correction should find support in 7 swings. Investors and traders should use pullback as next buying opportunity. In the current blog, we explain the wave structure, sequences and short- to long-term targets.

From the March 2020 lows, another motive cycle in black wave ((III)) has started and is currently in the initial stages. We see already first nest consisting of red waves I-II in place. Now, acceleration higher in red wave III of blue wave (I) should follow. Once all 5 waves of blue wave (I) will be completed, then pullback in blue wave (II) should provide with another opportunity to join the rally. Then, acceleration higher in blue wave (III) of black wave ((III)) should bring prices considerably higher. Long-term, black wave ((III)) should extend towards 234 highs and even beyond.

It shows fully developed 5 waves off the highs. In overall, the recent sideways-to-higher price action along with breaking of RSI channel suggest that the new bullish cycle might have started.

It is the preferred view that red wave II has set an important low in December 2022 at 3.11. While above there, a new cycle in red wave III is in progress. The target for red wave III will be towards 60.45-95.94 area and even higher. Current prices below 20$ offer still a great investment opportunity. While medium-term investors can expect 3 times reward on their risk, long-term reward reaches towards 11x and more as related to current engagement.
