(This analysis was published previously on Elliott Wave Gold. It is published here for Elliott Wave Stock Market members.)
Has the Bitcoin bubble burst? I look at price and volume, along with trend lines, to answer this question.
Last analysis stated: “Instead of trying to figure out where this bubble may go, I’ll focus on figuring out when it may have popped. A strong bearish candlestick pattern at the weekly chart level and a trend channel or trend line breach will be looked for.”
There is a completed weekly candlestick at the end of today’s session, and it is a strong bearish engulfing candlestick pattern.
But the channel is not yet breached.
Volume supports the idea of a high in place, but the bottom line is that there is substantial risk to any short position while price remains within the channel.
Look now for a bounce to not make a new all time high, which should exhibit weakness in volume. Then look for the channel breach.
Manage risk diligently.

A huge drop in volume suggests exhaustion.
