BITCOIN Clash of theories and the possibility of 10K as bottom

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is on the 4th straight week of sideways trading following the mid June low. By doing so, it reached the bottom (Higher Lows) trend-line of a Channel Up pattern that fits perfectly BTC's price action since April 2013. With the LMACD hitting the Support trend-line of Feb 2015, all this looks like a Cycle bottom but let's examine this more carefully with the help of additional indicators.


** The Channel and its extremes **
As you see on this chart, the price action has broken above the Channel Up only twice these 9 years and that was during the formation of the November 2013 and December 2017 Cycle Tops. Those Bullish extremes took place exactly on the 1.5 Fibonacci extension. There hasn't yet been a break below the bottom of the Channel but it is possible to do so if the price action fails to hold the Higher Lows trend-line in the coming weeks.


** The Bearish extreme argument to $10000 **
If it does fail, then we may very well see the first Bearish extreme and what better candidate for a bottom than the symmetrical Fibonacci level of -0.5. Bottoming there makes a perfect fit for an approximately -86% drop from the Cycle Top, which is a consistent correction percentage with all previous Bear Cycles. That would pull Bitcoin down to marginally below the 10k USD level.


** The LMACD **
As mentioned before the LMACD is on the Support level that marked both previous Cycle Bottoms. If this fails, it could be a first indication that we will be going for that first Bearish extreme of the Channel. On the bullish side though, if it holds, it validates this historic pattern which on the upside has two Lower Highs trend-lines that shape Cycle Tops. The oldest one that started in June 2011 has projected all Highs below the last two Cycle Tops. Since Dec 2017 it is the Diverging Lower Highs trend-line that marks the actual Cycle Tops. As a result, if the LMACD Support holds, keep an eye for a rather vast visit to the 2011 LH line for a first rally high similar to June 2019.



But what do you think about that? Do you expect the Channel to hold or go for a -0.5 Fib Bearish extreme of around 10000 USD completing a -86% drop? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!
