Since our July 1 update, we have been Bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) using the Elliott Wave Principle (EWP) and Technical Analysis (TA). In our last update (see here), we showed that we tracked a potential five waves higher, contingent on BTC staying above at least $62,474, our 3rd warning level for the Bulls.
Fast forward four weeks, and BTC held the $62,474 level, with its lowest close at $62,727 on August 1. Since then, it’s been staging a 3rd-of-a-3rd wave rally. See Figure 1 below.

Thus, our previous calls for higher prices were correct. We continue to track the potential for five (gray) waves (i, ii, iii, iv, v) higher within the green W-3, ideally around $77,000, contingent on BTC staying above at least $65,418, which is our 3rd warning level for the Bulls. Because the 4th and 1st waves (gray W-iv and W-i) don’t overlap in an impulse, there is a >60% chance the current uptrend is over if that overlap occurs.
Given the ongoing bullish price action and as stated previously, we continue to view the 4-year cycle, which has worked over the last 12 years and projected a low between late November and late January, as invalidated. Bitcoin continues to move impulsively, so we continue to track a potential five-wave advance from the July 1 low. If it materializes, we can be certain an important low has been struck and that the Fibonacci-based $164-337K region will be the next major target zone for the red W-v of the black W-5, etc. See Figure 2 below.
