Elliot wave rules: Rule 1 - Wave 2 cannot retrace more than 100% of Wave 1 Rule 2 - Wave 3 can never be the shortest of the three impulse waves. It doesn't necessarily have to be the longest, but it cannot be the shortest. Rule 3 - Wave 4 cannot overlap Wave 1 The Guideline of Alternation suggests that Wave 2 and Wave 4 will alternate, or be different in their complexity. If Wave 2 was a simple correction (a simple ABC structure), Wave 4 is likely to be a complex correction (such as a triangle, a flat, or a combination correction), and vice versa. The Guideline of Equality proposes that in many cases, Wave 5 will be approximately equal in length to Wave 1. When it's not, Wave 5 tends to be either 61.8% of Wave 1 or 161.8% of Wave 1.
With all these said, we can confirm that wave 2 has a simple correction but wave 4 has a more complex correction. And, since the wave 3 can not be the shortest, so wave 5 has to be smaller than that and end before 36000 and if it tends to go around 61.8% of wave 1, we can target 32000 as the end of wave 5 Also, if this wave 4 wants to go lower, it can not pass 25200.
This approach gives a good risk to reward ratio with these targets: Entry: 27200 - Stop Loss: 25200 - Take Profit: 32000

Fun fact: the 25300 support is not only the end of wave 1 but also fibo's 0.5 level and ichi cloud's bottom. Strong support expected.

Good news is Bitcoin has been stronger relative to dollar, gold and bonds in the last 3 days. Bad news is DXY and EURUSD just passed the ichimoku cloud.

Just one more thing to consider about the 5th wave: A truncated fifth wave, also known as a "failure", is a term used in Elliott Wave Theory to describe a situation where the fifth wave does not move beyond the end of the third wave. It is a fairly common occurrence and typically indicates a weakening trend.
More specifically, in a truncated fifth wave, the fifth wave falls short of the end of the third wave. In a bullish market, the fifth wave fails to reach or exceed the high of the third wave, while in a bearish market, the fifth wave fails to fall below the low of the third wave.
It's important to note that a truncated fifth wave typically occurs in the wave following an extended third wave, indicating exhaustion of the trend. The truncation is a sign of underlying weakness in the market trend, suggesting that a reversal is imminent.
The rules of truncation include:
A truncation can only occur in wave 5. The truncation does not move beyond the end of wave 3. A truncation often ends in the price territory of wave 4. This means it overlaps with the price level of wave 4, which is a violation of the guideline that wave 4 should not overlap with the price territory of wave 1, but it is allowed in the case of a truncation. In a truncated fifth wave, wave 5 is usually either a simple ABC correction or a short impulse wave. Interpreting truncated fifth waves can provide valuable insights into market dynamics and can help traders identify potential trend reversals. However, like all aspects of Elliott Wave Theory, it requires careful analysis and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management strategies.

This maybe a more accurate Elliot wave counting. Although it can bounce from here as the end of corrective wave A but it seems like we are going to sit a while and find more support lower till find the path forward. The whole 15-31K rally can be considered as a bigger Wave 1 and after we see the ABC correction, we will be starting a new Wave 3 (which tends to be the greatest wave) maybe the best entry of the year for bitcoin.
ok ... but if it's leading diagonal or ending diagonal wave 4 can averlap wave 1... but you scenario it's 100% possible.

@MynameisTeo, and because wave 3 is shorter than wave 1, increase the chanse to be a leading diagonal for the bigger wave 1 ( sure IF this scenario is corect )

@MynameisTeo, I'm not following bro, which diagonal?

@NoaTrader, Just google it: leading diagonal and ending diagonal ... welcom

@MynameisTeo, Wow, What a pride man; You don't even know English good enough. I know what diagonal is. I meant with this wave count I'm not following what you are saying. The waves I mentioned don't make a diagonal:
you changed the counting [23may] . why did you think that the current wave isnt wave4 ? its not overlap wave1 yet.

@navabvahedidehkordi, Sorry for late response dadash, I missed your comment, but the situation is still the same. This is what I read about Wave 1: The first wave in the cycle, Wave 1, typically occurs when a small number of traders act on a fundamental change before the broader market becomes aware of it. This wave can be hard to spot as it forms, because it could easily be mistaken for a normal market fluctuation. It's important to note that Elliott Wave Theory is a model and that market dynamics can be more complex than any model can represent. Also I checked it with one of the tradingview's wizards! This is the update I consider: We can confirm wave B is finished when we go lower than A by breaking down 25800. Then, theoretically Wave C can end around 24000 if it goes as much as wave A or 20000 if it extends 1.618 of wave A.
