For a variety of reasons I no longer believe that $2,718 will be the bottom of the 2018 bitcoin’ bear market. I am now very confident that we will before finding a bottom. That is due to Tyler Jenks’ hyperwave theory and the Point of Control on the Visible Range with > 2 year look back | before the end of 2018, however I do not believe that will be the bottom. Strongly expect ETH to return to single digits before the end of 2019 | 500 at $2,634

Summary: I strongly expect that we will see some over the next 24 – 48 hours. Support below $3,200 has been holding strong and so has the resistance from the which is currently at $3,215.
Something is going to have to give and when it does we should see a big move. Yesterday I was watching the 1 hour chart turn and it looked like that could provide enough for the bulls to breakthrough the .
The daily candle failed to close above the and now it is looking like another leg down is more likely than a bounce. My adjusted stop losses did not trigger and I am still in my short position. Based on the price action of the last 24 hours I am feeling much better about that position now than I was yesterday.
If we do bounce from here then there will be serious resistance waiting from $3,840 – $4,150 and that is where I would be expecting a reversal back to the downside. The lack of capitulation is the main reason why I remain confident that we have a long way to go before finding a bottom.
