Nightly Crypto Report: Encouraging Action Off Low

Apr 16, 2021 - 5:38 PM EDT

Bitcoin and Ether dropped deeper last night. Action into the late afternoon is constructive and I'm looking for signs of a confident bottom. GBTC hardly responded to the drop and so has not changed much at all.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin broke $61,300 and is now in a fairly deep wave 2. We must remain over $55K. I am watching the potential that we already bottomed, and retaking $63,800 makes that likely.

I am still long 100% in my core.

Ethereum

Ether's overnight action suggests a low wave 3 top is in. Wave 4 needs to hold $2280. Like Bitcoin, action off of the low is encouraging.

I am long Ether. (smaller than Bitcoin)

ETHBTC

We now have five waves up in (i) of ETHBTC. (i) can continue to stretch to .038-.039. Once we have a top confirmed, I can map critical support in (II).

GBTC

There is no change today. GBTC's action was quiet. Yesterday I wrote:

I don't like such a deep circle-ii on my chart as shown. There is a chance we had a high b in red and have not really escaped from wave 2. If the case, we will likely see more downward action tomorrow and have to again look at $42.54

I remain long GBTC. I prefer to keep my stop at $47 but I may find myself loosening my stop tomorrow if we cannot hold today's low. Note my stop is not kept open on my account.

My faith in God and my faith in Avi and his team. God lead me to this service over 10 years ago. For a decade I have heard Avi point his bat at this very moment in time calling this S&P level. Though the years I have witnessed him point his bat months, even years before metals hit their highs and lows with almost perfect big picture accuracy. Against every other analysts opinion. I have seen him bullied relentlessly on his public articles on SA and stick to his guns and proven so correct with no one ever apologizing or admitting he called it.

My AUM has grown exponentially because of you and I can't thank you enough. My biggest regret is not signing up sooner! You've done more good than you will ever know.

I’ve subscribed for 5 years now and I have to say I see that you’ve been right on this the whole time. Who would’ve thought gold and silver would’ve rallied with rates this high for this long and the markets continued higher as well. Always thought your charts were good but always thought in the back of my mind that rate cuts and other news actually led. So now that I’ve admitted defeat u are free to gloat. Well deserved

I worked on trading desks at top investment banks for 10 years, then traded on my own for another 8. I've seen 100s of research from the best analysts in the business. Avi and EWT is the only one I'm willing to pay for right now.

CNBC had a stat this morning that over the last 20 years 86% of money managers/hedge funds have underperformed the market. They couldn't figure out why that’s the case given how 'smart' these people are. . . . I know my performance since joining the site has skyrocketed!

At times like these, I want to express my hearfelt thanks to the whole analyst team and especially to Avi, for superb and timely guidance & insight as well as mental support :) A trading/ market analysis service just does not get better than this one is.

I've been managing money since 1981 and ... I've never seen anyone handle fibs like him [Avi].

This is literally the greatest advisory service - bar none.

I’m convinced, EW theory is THE best way to approach markets for investing/trading. Whether you’re scalping micro moves, day trading swing trading or long term investing, EW always has you covered. Most people have a lens or a way they view the market but how consistent over time is it? For myself I like fractals and have made life changing trades off them. But as my trading days add up [and] the value of EW becomes clearer, especially when coupled with fib #s, I have to give credit to you Avi for this!
