Hi guys,
I think we may be playing out a series of bearish diametrics. The two current ones have not been confirmed, but one is very close to confirmation. I think BTC may play out something along the lines of what I've included in my chart - the smallest one being more likely than the second, but the second larger one also having a very real possibility. I think we may currently be in Wave-F of the smaller diametric, with some retrace to the upside (Wave-B) still before continuing down for it's completion (Wave-C).
The implications of the large diametric playing out are that we will see new lows not previously seen in the last dump. Taking a look at previous corrections on BTC, it would not be so ridiculous to find a bottom at around $1250 or approximately the high of the previous bull run before the correction is over (please don't let that price scare you or think this idea can't happen - previous bottoms of BTC corrections have tested the highs of previous runs before, and I don't see why not again).
Why I think this is a feasible possibility is the Libra. If the Libra ends up becoming a real viable way to pay for goods and services online - then technically, in my eyes, it will severely hurt BTC at least initially. My reason for thinking this is that BTC would technically have a much smaller current use case if everyone were to use the Facebook coin to pay for things and make BTC not really needed in the financial sector except to act possibly as a competitor to the Libra for financial transactions and is currently well known. However, Facebook is also much MORE well known than BTC, and will make itself available to all of it's massive user base. You also can't avoid that BTC has been developing bearish divergence since the run up to $1200 or so (have a look) and so this could play out now, or maybe later.
BTC then would have to rediscover it's position in the markets, and find out what it's use case truly can be. Maybe it really does become digital gold and people use it as a store of value, raising its price once again to new highs - I'm really not sure at this point. I think this assumption can go for any crypto with a financial use case - the Libra is a THREAT at least initially to them - not something that will help them. The Libra though will bring public adoption to the crypto space, so in time it could be good for financial crypto. The same bearish outlook doesn't apply to coins and tokens with a utility purpose other than financial in my mind.
Anyways, have a look and let me know what you think. My price targets will likely be wildly off, but I feel the pattern will hold provided we get the right confirmations.
