BTC update (more in comments)

BITMEX:XBT   Bitcoin
There is a minor short term descending wedge within a major multi-month wedge. One break should lead into the other. I would assume a break (up OR down) soon as the wedge looks pretty cooked!

Zooming in to the very minor time frames; a potential EW count would break the topside of the smaller wedge with a minor wave 5 and find resistance under the larger macro wedge. The answer to this count will be very soon as this is a 5minute chart.

Ultimately the direction of BTC will be dictated by the US dollar. The dollar looks to be falling downwards out of a rising wedge. I took a look at this wedge a few months ago but expected an answer quicker than this as to what way the wedge would resolve. I am obviously spoiled by the speed of crypto markets.

It did initially break down following the recent inflation figures. Right now it looks like a simple upward corrective wave (potential bulltrap) back inside the wedge. If it makes a higher low here and continues upwards I would change my bias back towards bear for BTC.

Comentarios:
I forgot to point out above that BTC generally does the opposite of what the US dollar is doing.
Comentarios:
Very short term I am cautiously bullish on BTC.

HOWEVER, if this wedge breaks down then it also invalidates my Elliott Wave count.

Comentarios:
To clarify the last chart - I don't want to see another break below $41,600.
Comentarios:
Short term target hit on BTC. Hoping for a bullish higher low of the overall structure now. (It could of course go slightly higher first before the pull back of the 1-5 wave move.

Zooming out from 5min to 30min candles, poorly drawn.
May get a slight higher high with a lower RSI high. Then the bulls would want to protect a higher low before continuing higher. The price doesn't need to go to or as low as a .618 retrace but that's where I would expect the bulls to step back in.

Comentarios:
The larger, macro patterns of course trump the smaller ones.
BTC is now teetering on the brink of the larger downtrend line.
Per my recent updates (above), we may get a smaller pull back before thrusting upwards and out with a wave 3. This would be invalidated with a drop below around $41,200 - realistically higher than that as a bullish retrace shouldn't go back to the floor.
