Possible extremely rare pattern, do not trade this pattern there are better opportunities out there.
The running flat is a 3-3-5 pattern in which wave B ends far beyond the start of a bear market. The following five waves fail to reach the ending of corrective A wave.
- Here we see a triangle I've been trading successfully; I gambled on it being symmetrical to the triangle on the left, so far it is.
If ATH levels are a result of B waves instead of a bull market, and price insists on staying within this triangle; then we must have a running flat on our hands.
- Both volume and RSI confirm that we have been in a long stretched bear market all along. And so does the extent to which price has retraced from the B move, which is well beyond 0,79 retracement already.
- Other alt/BTC pairs such as ETH/BTC also show to have been merely in relief all along.
Ideally, we would see the price bounce here with low- and at 5 with high volume. If we bounce here (3) with sizable volume, however, the bottom might as well be in as this count is EW abuse indeed.
