A quick Tech-Note here on the BTCUSD (Bitstamp) to suggest a potential 50% retracement as the crypto continues to build its strength back up. A rough estimation here sees a 50% retracement potential based on a 5-0 pattern completion, thus projecting a support near 554.65.
While an early market reversal signal did occur, we are still in wait of a bullish market reversal confirmation. A solid numerical base has yet to be defined before we are able to generate our geometric/mathematic-based analysis and forecasting.

@cezarone - Not sure what you mean by this number in terms of price action. Forecast remains unchanged here, and as with any other prior analysis, cross-exchange influences have netted zero in terms of completion of the forecasts or even influencing the predictive analysis, although influences might still exist at smaller timeframes in the form of slippage/arbitrage lapses, but I never really looked at that granular level of chart resolution. What counts here is whether we remain with the market by choosing the right winds and landing on the right island in this vast electronic ocean. So far, so good - David

and what you think about possible bull flag/pennant pattern ?

Hello @ipkiss - These basic geometric patterns are ubiquitous and have their own supporters. I do not pay attention to them in terms of strategy, since they do not reliably carry out the directional presage they are supposed to, and the fact that too many of them occur diminishes their predictive values.
Instead, I would look for a rare, but consistent pattern, such as the Shark, Bat, 5-0 as far as advanced patterns, as well as the Wolfe Waves pattern, especially when this one involves a 5-prime or 5-second counter-trend opportunity.
Again, the rarest and most reliable - some sites have statistical data on the frequency of the pattern, but these numbers do not matter as much as the choice YOU end up making in choosing and sticking to one strategy, whether it involves a pattern or not, and whether you can rationalize why one pattern is chosen over another.

Is this still your position after two more days of sideways consolidation?
Thanks. :)

Hello, @MAbtc - There is no change in the technical profile, so no change in the analysis and forecast. However, most of the analysis was based on pattern recon and expectation (here, Shark completion and expectation of Shark leading into a 5-0 pattern, which is what Shark does in nature (i.e.: Shark pattern is a "pseudo-pattern", and acts as the gatekeeper to a X-A-B-C-D pattern, which is the 5-0 pattern, where "5-0" refers to the typical 5 and zero, or 50 percent reaction that occurs once Shark completes.).
Hope this all makes sense.
