The Trend is currently DOWN in ALL Time-frames.

…Key Statement:

Although (basis the 4-hour chart) a bearish 5-wave impulsive decline off the recent 9848.98 print high has manifested, it by no means “guarantees” another leg down following any modest upward retracement of sorts. From the current pullback low of 8100, the 9,243 level (a .618 retracement thereof) becomes critical to observe relative to any meaningful move up off said pullback low.

If BTC is able to bullishly rally and “sustain” trade above 9243 from here, it would then become highly likely that 8100 would mark an interim low, and that we are on our way to riding a bullish 3rd wave up at the minute degree of trend (see daily chart in video.)

In contrast, however, further bearish rejection and a failure to reach and sustain bullish trade above 9,243, would then increase the likely hood of reaching the noted downside target of 7,966, or possibly lower before we mark the preferred bullish minute 2-wave down.

In closing, I’d like to impart the following shout-outs to all of my fellow analysts here on the STEEMIT platform and beyond:

They are in no particular order:

• To Tone Vays for his incredible energy in producing a wide variety of valuable content along with his proprietary version of Tom DeMark’s sequential indicator.

• To @ew-and-patterns for inspiring me to get back into TA, and for his level of professionalism and balance in sharing his views with the community.

• To @lordoftruth for his always awesome graphics and his undeniable commitment to report on his latest sentiments with regard to the price of BTC.

• To @philakonesteemit for his honesty and in-depth look at market structure via order-books, short-term trading dynamics, EWT, and the like.

• To @haejin, despite the seemingly never-ending flag-wars associated with his account, he nonetheless imparts a measured assessment of BTC market dynamics relative to EWT theory that is worthy of consideration – in spite of anything else that might be going on with regard to the ongoing controversy surrounding “reward pool” dynamics.
