I’m still an Elliott Wave noob, so the drawing on my chart is purely theoretical. It’s based on personal speculation — not financial advice.
Right now, I’m working under the assumption that we’re either in a corrective Wave A heading down, or in Wave 2 of a larger structure on a higher timeframe.
Last night, I counted five waves down within Wave 3 and started to notice signs of support. So instead of riding it out for a retrace back to the usual 0.382 Fib, I decided to long Wave 4 early and took profit once it hit an amount I was comfortable with.
Given how sharp the recent drop was, I was worried this might be one of those weak sub-Wave 4 retracements. I honestly doubted we’d even make it to 0.382, and even if we did, I expected it to take another 12–24 hours.
This morning, ETH shot up another $200 to $4000 right after I TP’d. I won’t lie — I definitely felt some ROMO (regret of missing out). An hour later, I checked again and saw it nearly tagged the 0.618 Fib. I was shocked at how fast it recovered.
But I reminded myself: don’t FOMO in and end up stuck in a long while Wave 5 is setting up to go down. I’ve learned that less profit is better than no profit. So I’m sticking to my plan and moving on.
My outlook from here:
I’m expecting Wave 5 to start between now and the London session open. Then, during the U.S. session, we might see another impulsive 1-2-3-4-5 leg up or begin corrective Wave B (if we really are in corrective Wave A down).
Good luck, everyone. Stay disciplined and trade your plan.
