In light of the upcoming Easter Holiday in tandem with houseguests arriving tomorrow evening, tonight’s update will be a bit more like a weekend overview.

We Don’t Get Fooled Again

The big takeaway in this update surrounds using the largest of timeframes to aid in forming the structure of one’s technical thesis and to then translate and track the ongoing efficacy of said thesis onto the smaller timeframe charts.

Furthermore, both the “preferred” and “alternate” standing counts adopted should have equal plausibility in their respective possible outcomes. The essential discipline is to then track and reconcile each respective and viable pathway with the utmost of objectivity based solely upon the unfolding price action as it occurs in real-time.

I have already done this largely with my current analysis, however, tonight; I will bring to you an alternate count that may well facilitate the long slog of a 13-month bear market.

Representing my long-standing motto when it comes to wave-counts and technical analysis, “The Who” (these old fu!kers from my generation can still rock-it, man) sum it up quite well when they insist, “We Don’t Get Fooled Again!” I hope you enjoy tonight’s Special Pre-Holiday update.

Happy Easter!

…Key Statement:

Longer-term, given the possibility of the alternate count presented tonight, we should not be surprised to witness a torturous slow-burning sideways market punctuated by a series of false fits and starts for the remainder of 2018.

_As for the short-term, the trend remains down and enmeshed in what I believe to be a bottoming stage prior to the next rally attempt. 7297 and 7250 are two near-term downside targets to expect should 7742.11 fail to hold as an interim pivot low.

In closing, I’d like to impart the following shout-outs to all of my fellow analysts here on the STEEMIT platform and beyond:

They are in no particular order:

• To Tone Vays for his incredible energy in producing a wide variety of valuable content along with his proprietary version of Tom DeMark’s sequential indicator.

• To @ew-and-patterns for inspiring me to get back into TA, and for his level of professionalism and balance in sharing his views with the community.

• To @lordoftruth for his always awesome graphics and his undeniable commitment to report on his latest sentiments with regard to the price of BTC.

• To @philakonesteemit for his honesty and in-depth look at market structure via order-books, short-term trading dynamics, EWT, and the like.

• To @haejin, despite the seemingly never-ending flag-wars associated with his account, he nonetheless imparts a measured assessment of BTC market dynamics relative to EWT theory that is worthy of consideration – in spite of anything else that might be going on with regard to the ongoing controversy surrounding “reward pool” dynamics.
