Crypto Contest April 2: Bitcoin
Bitcoin (Bitstamp: BTCUSD) has broken out of the triangle pattern in the weekly chart.

Elliott Wave Analysis
In Elliott Wave terms, Bitcoin began a wave one advance in January 2015. The red wave one finished in June 2016, and the red wave two correction ended in August 2016. The red wave three advance finished in December 2017, and the red wave four correction ended in December 2018. If this wave count is correct, Bitcoin should be heading next towards the December 2017 peak in the red wave five.

Zooming out in the monthly chart, I believe Bitcoin is currently in the red wave three (blue sub-wave v).

Bitcoin will takeout the November 2018 peak (16 voters as of 3 PM EST April 5: bleujay, bentleycapital, freiheit50, abh12345, steemit.nemesis, mellofello, reconnectnature, kunschj, crokkon, ace108, hhayweaver, trincowski, galasek, simonjay, richard78624, novus-locus).
So, you're assuming the 20K mark was the top of wave 3 and not of a wave 5... Can you explain the logic behind that line of thought?
Same as Ethereum..
Bitcoin will stay in a trading range between the December 2018 low and the November 2018 peak until May 7 (15 voters as of 3 PM EST April 5: diana.feuerberg, gregory-f, skepticology, soundmoney, vicspics, toofasteddie, steem-d-anlovnit, mitrado, fullcoverbetting, diogosantos, jznsamuel, mgood, erikaflynn, moeenali, costanza).
