Through observing the bitcoin market for a number of years, a lot of money is made in the parabolic moves up yet also during the aggressive pullbacks. Historically, after a bitcoin a pump there's always been a return to the 200 EMA (normally quite quickly) accounting for ~35-40% drop.

Elliott Wave analysis signals we're coming to the end of wave 3, which should take us to $5,000. Respecting the cycle of ~40% pullbacks, we should see capitulation to $3,000; then the 5th wave should take us $10,000. This is a psychologically very attractive take profit area for investors on a large scale. If Elliott Wave is correct this would complete a larger 3rd wave (1st being to 1.1k back in 2013; 2nd being the pullback to ~$200 ending at the start of 2015), and a large 4th wave correction could provide a bear market over an extended period with price targets around the $2,500 area.

Following the curve upwards, with the 200 EMA providing support - I would find it very surprising to see the BTC rally stopping anytime soon; and long term investors should be happy holding as long as they have strong enough hands to ride the regular shakeouts in the BTC market.
Comment:

Wave 3 of wave 3 seems to have completed, now time for the standard 35-40% drop bringing us back down to the 3000s before we resume the uptrend to higher highs!

Correction target hit!

Perfect 40% measured move to complete an ABC correction. Now time for the fifth wave of the larger wave 3. Either a double top at 5k, or a move to ATH!
Comment:

Wave 3 is close to finishing on my count - maybe one last leg up but r/r buying here isn't attractive. Chart above shows ambitious targets, but a retest of 4800-5000 seems reasonable; having said that we could see some serious sell offs after the run we've had this year. Another viable move is creating a large ranging triangle to consolidate before tackling higher highs.

Exhibit B
Comment:
Previously calling tops too soon, but this is looking likely to fall imo

Comment:

nice sell off since last update which was followed by a near complete retrace. Looking at previous pullbacks this is a plausible situation...a more advisable trade is to wait for a breakout confirmation // waiting to buy a dip when it comes
