Full BTC/USD 4H Analysis with Projections
Key Ichimoku Observations:
1. Tenkan-sen (Blue Line): Flat, indicating short-term indecision.
2. Kijun-sen (Red Line): Also flat, confirming a sideways market.
3. Senkou Span A & B (Kumo/Cloud):
The Kumo is thin and slightly bullish (green), suggesting indecision but still supporting a bullish bias.
Price remains above the Kumo, maintaining an overall bullish structure.
4. Chikou Span (Green Line): Positioned above price from 26 periods ago, confirming bullish momentum.
However, it is approaching historical price clusters that may cause resistance.
Wave Theory Analysis (N-Wave and P-Wave):
An N-Wave (bullish impulsive move) occurred earlier, followed by a period of consolidation.
Currently, a P-Wave (triangle formation) is evident, with price contracting between 100,000 (support) and 102,000 (resistance):
Breakout above 102,000 signals trend continuation.
Breakdown below 100,000 signals bearish correction.
Time Theory (Kihon-Suchi):
Ichimoku Time Theory suggests cycles of 9, 17, 26 periods where price movements, reversals, or consolidations occur. Using these time projections:
1. We are at the Decision Zone: The price is consolidating, and a breakout or breakdown is expected within 4-8 candles (16-32 hours).
2. After the breakout/breakdown, the following time projections apply:
9 candles (36 hours): For 1st targets.
17 candles (68 hours): For extended targets.
