Again.. it is always important to adapt to the current market situation. As for now and the past weeks, we're witnessing a heavy correlation of many alts to BTC. This is not always the case - at least not to such an extreme, but for now it is and that's what counts. We don't have to care how the market is going to behave in a week, month, etc. Same as with the wave counting. It is always an if..then scenario. The reason I did not gave a call to long btc or xrp, is because if we would see a reversal from this point on it would be illogical regarding the wave principle on which I heavily rely on. As you can see, I make also use of the traditional technical analysis - fibs, patterns, candlesticks, structure, momentum, etc. But I firmly believe that if you combine the traditional technical analysis with the elliott wave principle - you are able to make a shitloads of profitable trades. Sometimes less accurate, sometimes more. But in the end, it's about being profitable with having a good risk/reward. With this approach, you'll recognize quite soon if you've been right or wrong and therefore you'll be able to cut your losses very quick. On the other side, if you're right, you win big. LESS IS MORE - overtrading and impatience will wipe out your account in a matter of time. Keep in mind, that this whole cryptomarket is still in its infancy, so there is absolutely no rush to make a quick buck. Discipline and patience are the keys to making yourself literally filthy rich in this market over the next years.
