Last time we were in a Wave 4

This is my second post ever, so please use accordingly. Some people (Goldman) thinks were are in Wave 4 of the Elliot Wave Principle. Please look this up if you haven't heard of it. Wave 4 is characterized as:

Prices may meander sideways for an extended period, and wave four typically retraces less than 38.2% of wave three. Volume is well below than that of wave three. This is a good place to buy a pull back if you understand the potential ahead for wave 5. Still, fourth waves are often frustrating because of their lack of progress in the larger trend. (I'm frustrated...just saying, I think this fits where BTC is)

I looked back over the past year and determined we hit Wave 4 in March 2016. The red arrow shows how it traded. It hit an ATH, then traded sideways for a few days, then dipped. However, it then recovered and finished the Wave cycle at 2 more ATHs. I'm not saying history will repeat, but we can all learn from the past to be better prepared for what's potentially ahead.
