As previously noted in our analysis, the Bitcoin 4-hour chart was being monitored for a symmetrical converging triangle pattern. Despite the expectation of a breakout to continue the preceding bullish trend, the triangle did not break out as anticipated. We are now observing an interesting new development and a shift in the technical structure.
Instead of a breakout from the triangle, Bitcoin has formed a new price pattern: a bullish converging wedge on the 4-hour chart. A bullish converging wedge, also known as a "falling wedge," is characterized by two descending and converging trend lines, with the lower trend line having a gentler slope than the upper one. This pattern typically signals a period of decreasing trading volume and temporary indecision within an existing uptrend, after which a sharp upward breakout and continuation of the trend are expected.
Completion of 5 Precise Internal Waves:
In-depth analysis reveals that the bullish wedge has completed five precise internal waves. According to wave theory, the completion of a five-wave internal structure within a wedge pattern signals the end of the corrective pattern. This fact significantly strengthens the possibility of a swift and sharp breakout from the bullish wedge.
Bullish 4-Hour Structure:
The appearance of the bullish wedge is taking place within a broader context of a bullish 4-hour structure. A sequence of rising highs and lows can be identified on the chart, indicating the dominance of buyers in this timeframe. This bullish structure provides additional support for an upward breakout scenario from the wedge.
Completion of an AB=CD Harmonic Pattern:
It is interesting to note that the bullish wedge is forming at the conclusion of an AB=CD harmonic pattern. An AB=CD pattern is one of the foundational harmonic patterns, which signals a potential reversal point when the price and time ratios of the AB and CD segments are similar. The completion of an AB=CD pattern in a support zone, and in this current case in conjunction with a bullish wedge and bullish structure, increases the probability of a significant upward move.
Key Points and Next Steps:
Support: The lower trend line of the bullish wedge serves as an immediate support level. A break below this level could invalidate the bullish scenario.
Resistance: The upper trend line of the bullish wedge acts as immediate resistance. A breakout above this level, accompanied by an increase in trading volume, would confirm the bullish breakout from the wedge.
Potential Price Targets: Following a confirmed breakout, potential price targets can be calculated based on the height of the wedge and historical resistance levels. The completion of the AB=CD pattern can also provide theoretical targets based on various Fibonacci ratios.
Summary:
Bitcoin currently presents an interesting technical picture, with a transition from a symmetrical converging triangle that failed to break out, to the formation of a bullish converging wedge within a bullish 4-hour structure. The completion of 5 internal waves within the wedge and its location at the end of an AB=CD harmonic pattern adds an extra layer of confluence (a meeting of positive signals). Traders will be closely watching the wedge's trend lines and a volume-supported breakout to confirm the direction of the next move.
