Bitcoin catching its breath before next move

Looking at the 30 min chart, we can see what appears to be a bullish pennant.

This usually forms during the correction that follows 5 completed waves. Given the pattern is more one of consolidation than straight up or down movement, I believe it's most likely we're in an ABCDE type correction. If that's true, it may play out like this:

It is possible that this is an ABC correction. This is not my primary count, but I can't take it off the table. If this scenario is true, it may play out like this:

Looking at the 30 min RSI, we can see a strong support line has formed at 43.3. If this support holds, I expect scenario 1 to remain in play. If it breaks, expect scenario 2.

The 1 hour RSI also has an ascending support line that has formed. If this holds, scenario 1 is most likely to complete.

Looking at the bigger picture, even if bitcoin does drop as outlined in scenario 2, I believe a strong impulse wave up would follow. The 8 day, 21 day and 55 day EMA's all indicate an over all uptrend will continue.

Looking at the 4 hour MACD, we can see the wedge that I've pointed out these past 2 weeks has still not been broken. The histogram continues to be squeezed tighter and tighter. This may eventually lead to a major breakout as we get closer to the apex of the wedge.

Finally, we can see the bull flag I pointed out yesterday on the daily RSI is still in play. This is another sign of strength.

BIAS:

Short Term: Neutral
Longterm: Very Bullish
