14) Dec. 17, 2018 – The fourth wave down printed a $3,215 low on Dec. 14 via Bitfinex.  There is the potential for a capitulatory 5th wave down.   Also, take note of the following article published this morning…

One of the first crypto millionaires says bitcoin is ‘dead’… “When it comes to investor bitcoin burnout, it takes one to know one.  Erik Finman, who gained renown after becoming one of the earliest crypto millionaires, told MarketWatch in an interview that the virtual currency that made him wealthy is headed to the trash bin. “Bitcoin is dead, it’s too fragmented, there’s tons of infighting. I just don’t think it will last.” – NYPost, Dec. 17

15) Jan. 22, 2019 8:15am – Ignoring plunger candlesticks is foolish – the chart remains bearish and requires many many thousands of $ to the upside to even show a hint of bullish…  Jan. 25: JPMorgan: Bitcoin Is Worth Less Than the Cost to Mine It

I have news for Tom. The markets and charts are always right, your entry and exits are wrong, and your emotions have no business in this business. Now he says the “crypto-winter” is over.  I have more news for Tom. The bitcoin chart remains in a bear market as of today, and thousands of $ to go through overhead resistance before anyone can claim a new bull has begun.

32) As I add this update on Nov. 24, 12pm EST, the low print thus far is $6,736 and sitting on the 78.6% Fibonacci. The chart remains bearish…

November 21, 2019 7:30am EST... STILL BEARISH Daily Chart:

33) Bitcon Daily Chart Mar. 9, 2020 8:40am EDT... Crypto cryptophants warned numerous times based solely on the chart. I don’t read $BTC business and don’t have to. The trend remains BEARISH with speculative machine scalping in a speculative vehicle. If I see a Bull, you’ll know.

34) Bitcoin Is Still Failing As A Flight To Safety Investment… “Yet again, bitcoin bulls arguing that the popular cryptocurrency is a flight to safety investment during times of stock market weakness have gotten some discouraging feedback during the coronavirus-driven market sell-off. The S&P 500 has experienced one of its sharpest drops in history in the past month, but bitcoin has performed even worse during that time.” – Benzinga, Feb. 2020

35) Bitcoin Weekly Chart Aug. 11, 2020 1pm EST:  $BTC crypto cryptocurrency specs… No change at this point. The topside 12K area is still resistance since 2017 high – 2018 dead cat bounce and not decisively breached nor closed above.

36) Twitter Post: November 18, 2020 2:30pm EST… “My technical analysis on $BTC Bitcoin was consistent for 2.5yrs. Not until 12k 2018 dead cat bounce-double top lateral was taken out decisively, would 20k be possible. Today’s 18.5k high is more overbought & w/much less volume, since June 2016.  Sell on strength!  Profit is good.”

37) Twitter Post: November 26, 2020 7:20am EST…  “A $3,000 -15% plunge in Bitcoin within 24hrs of the last warning given Nov. 25 to wisely take some profits, but cryptophants will still claim that Technical Analysis does not apply to $BTC crypto cryptocurrencies after years of dropping the knowledge with charts.”

38) Jan. 15, 2021 – “The Bitcoin Crypto-Coaster Ride – Technical Analysis” Part 4

39) Jan. 21, 2021 – Bitcoin Daily Chart as of Jan. 21, 2021 6pm EST… breakdown away from bearish Ascending Broadening Wedge confirmed. See my Technical Analysis in post #38 above. $BTC Crypto Cryptocurrency.

40) FINAL POST: May 2021 – This Bitcoin Technical Analysis project has come to an end. Bitcoin is trading at 57k as I type this.

I provided a heads up at the first major breakout in 2015 that lead to the Dec. 2017 high of 20k. I also provided guidance on the way down to 3k and through the subsequent chop/consolidation up to the 12k breakout, then intermittent profit taking opportunities up to the 50k level.  Beginning in March of 2018, I repeatedly emphasized on Twitter, in articles, and interviews the importance of the $11,800/12k level as thee breakout level to watch and put speculative capital to work. The decisive breakout from 12k happened in Oct. 2020 and resulted in a tremendous bull run to 60k by Feb. 2021. I hope you benefited from my analyses and made a killing. Don’t be shy about leaving a donation with some of those profits via the PayPal tip jar on the right navigation bar. I wish the best of luck to all who followed along the way. Jim Cramer knew what time it was and when…

“CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Thursday he recently paid off a mortgage using profits from his investment in bitcoin. Cramer said he bought “a lot of bitcoin” when the world’s biggest cryptocurrency was priced at around $12,000. He said he has now sold about half of his position.” – CNBC, Apr. 15, 2021

“My last #Bitcoin #TechnicalAnalysis $BTC #Crypto chart for the #cryptophants – Daily Chart, May 19, 2021 plunge: $64,829 Apr. 14 High to May 19 $29,563 Low = 60% crash.” – TraderStef May, 19, 2021 Twitter Post…
