BTC/USD Analysis – March 10th

This image is no longer relevant

The 4-hour wave structure for BTC/USD is quite clear. After the completion of a five-wave bullish trend, the market has transitioned into a bearish corrective phase. Given this, I do not expect Bitcoin to rise above $110,000–$115,000 in the coming months.

The news cycle has fueled Bitcoin's growth in recent months, with continuous reports of institutional investments, government adoption, and pension fund allocations into the crypto market. However, Trump's policies have driven investors away, and no trend can remain bullish indefinitely.

The wave that began on January 20 does not resemble an impulsive wave. Instead, we are dealing with a complex corrective structure, which could last for months. The internal wave structure of this first corrective phase is highly complex and ambiguous. As a rule, wave structures should be as simple and clear as possible for effective trading.

Over the past few days, BTC/USD has dropped by $10,000. Even Trump's speech, which focused entirely on cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin reserves in the U.S., and the future of the crypto industry, failed to provide support.

Since Trump officially took office, the U.S. stock market, Bitcoin, and the U.S. dollar have all been falling. Typically, a decline in the dollar should lead to an increase in the value of dollar-denominated assets, including Bitcoin. However, Trump has achieved something unusual: both the dollar and Bitcoin are falling simultaneously, along with U.S. stock indices.

At this point, market participants are avoiding risk assets, as the future remains highly uncertain. While uncertainty is always present in financial markets, there are varying degrees of it. Trump is reshaping global policies, and no one knows the long-term consequences for the U.S. itself. Given this backdrop, investors are likely seeking safe-haven assets to navigate these volatile conditions.

Key Takeaways

Based on my BTC/USD analysis, I conclude that Bitcoin's uptrend is over for now. Everything currently points toward a complex, multi-month correction. I have previously advised against buying Bitcoin, and this recommendation remains unchanged.

A break below wave 4's low would confirm the transition into a downtrend, most likely of a corrective nature. For now, I see the best opportunities on the short side by analyzing lower timeframes. Bitcoin could fall to $76,000 (161.8% Fibonacci extension) and $68,000 (200.0% Fibonacci extension) in the coming weeks. Before expecting a new uptrend, I would like to see at least three clear and well-defined bearish waves.

On higher timeframes, a five-wave bullish structure is evident. At present, the market is forming either a corrective pullback or an extended bearish wave cycle.

Core Principles of My Analysis:

  1. Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex patterns are difficult to trade and often change unpredictably.
  2. If there is uncertainty about market direction, it is better to stay out.
  3. There is never 100% certainty in price movement. Always use protective Stop Loss orders.
  4. Wave analysis can be combined with other forms of technical analysis and trading strategies.
