Dear readers,
I've prepared a short-term forecast for Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum based on the Elliott wave analysis.
The article covers the following subjects:
The H4 chart of Bitcoin shows the formation of the second half of the bullish impulse [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]. Wave [3] has been completed, and the price is now declining in the corrective wave [4], which may form as a triple zigzag (W)-(X)-(Y)-(XX)-(Z). Wave (Y) and the linking wave (XX), formed as a double zigzag W-X-Y, have recently been completed. The initial phase of wave (Z) is expected to develop next. The price will likely drop to the 80,770.57 low, marked by sub-wave (Y).
Sell 92,646.62, Take Profit: 80,770.57
From a global perspective, XRPUSD appears to be forming a bullish impulse (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5). The current chart shows correction (4), forming as a double zigzag W-X-Y. The actionary wave Y is unfolding, and it also appears to be a double zigzag [W]-[X]-[Y]. Within the final actionary wave [Y], the impulse wave (A) and the corrective wave (B) have been completed. Wave (C) is unfolding, and its internal structure appears to be an ending diagonal. Within this formation, correction 4 is likely completed. The price is expected to decline in sub-wave 5 to the 1.764 low.
Sell 2.266, Take Profit: 1.764
A large upward zigzag (A)-(B)-(C) is forming on the H4 chart of ETHUSD. The first impulse wave (A) has been completed. Correction (B) is presumably forming now as a triple zigzag W-X-Y-XX-Z. The actionary wave Y has recently been completed, and the sideways linking wave XX has formed as a double three pattern. In the near term, the price is expected to decline within the final actionary wave Z, heading for the previous low of 2,613.72 marked by sub-wave Y.
Sell 3,250.59, Take Profit: 2,613.72
