Looking at this in hindsight i don't see the slightlest correlation in the predicted part of your graphs and reality...
It seems you twice predict a strong rally which failed to materialize for almost 2 months.
Furthermore, if one cares enough to study the data in detail one can notice that there are many channels to chose from and the question is why you chose the ones that faild to correctly predict behaviour?
If i were to go along with these predictions i would have lost.
So why would any sane person want this kind of advice?
You would have bought in at $4, so how would you have lost?
What? no!
I never said that.
It's only your imagination (or unstated pre-requisite of sorts?).
What i was talking about is that your predictions are completely inacurate in both those graphs.
And of course you didn't address this in your answer.
Your first chart clearly predicts that in the first half of february the price would drop to about $3.5, then boom up to 7.5
Neither pricepoint was hit in the first half of february.
The price moved some time later but that doesn't correlate with the channels you drew.
So no relation to the channels and the price drop around feb. 13th.
Meanwhile the drop had many more waves then you predicted.
How is that even possible if wave 'theory' supposedly has predictive capabilities?
Then your second graph also predicts a rally that fails to materialize.
Now i can see that channels exist as indicators of trend.
But all this business with counting waves is fantasy IMHO.
It's called adapting. Do you have any idea how many different paths we could have taken to get to that target zone of $4. I merely pointed one out (which I saw as most likely at the time) that ended up being pretty close to what actually materialized. Remember, I did not start the subscription service until after the second image. Obviously, if I was actively charting bitcoin daily and posting free charts throughout that period, I would have re-drew the trend-lines to fit the 'obvious triangle before the plunge to $4. You can always say that I was not perfectly accurate here, but honestly what would you have done or thought at the time that I posted the first image? You were probably just as bullish as the majority of people around $6 before we fell to $4.
Go right ahead and try to trade bitcoin without me. Do you really think that you know more than I do about technical analysis and its predictive power along with its limits? This is not an exact science; we are not working with precision here...merely probabilities and experience.
Regarding your point about heading straight up from the $4 bottom and how I was wrong: This is the longest period of time that bitcoin has traded sideways. There is no precedent (the very heart of technical analysis) for this kind of action from looking at past data. Therefore, no
sane analyst/trader would have called a continuation of a sideways movement at that time knowing how volatile bitcoin's past has been.
