Short-term analysis for BTCUSD, XRPUSD, and ETHUSD for 17.10.2024


Dear readers,

I’ve prepared a short-term forecast for Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum based on the Elliott wave analysis.

The article covers the following subjects:

Highlights and key points

  • BTCUSD: the price may rise to the previous high again. Consider long positions from the current level with Take Profit at 69,426.31.
  • XRPUSD: a correction is expected to end near 0.581. Consider long positions with Take Profit at 0.581.
  • ETHUSD: the price may rise to the previous high. Consider buying from the current level with Take Profit at 2,726.00.

Elliott Wave Analysis for Bitcoin

BTCUSD is forming the last part of correction [4] – actionary wave (Y). Wave Y may develop as a simple zigzag A-B-C. Its first impulse wave A is presumably completed, while correction B continues unfolding as a horizontal flat. Impulse subwave [C] is presumably developing at the moment. Its subwaves (1)-(2)-(3)-(4) look completed. So, the price may grow soon in impulse (5) to 69,426.31. The chart shows an approximate pattern of this potential movement.

Trading plan for BTCUSD for today:

Buy 67,255.91, Take profit: 69,426.31

Elliott Wave Analysis for Ripple

In the medium term, the XRPUSD pair appears to be building a linking wave XX as a triple zigzag [W]-[X]-[Y]-[X]-[Z]. Its zigzag-shaped linking wave [X] has already formed, and the first part of actionary wave [Z] is currently unfolding. It may become a simple zigzag (A)-(B)-(C), as shown in the chart. Bearish impulse wave (A) is likely completed, and correction (B) may form shortly as a double zigzag W-X-Y. Its last subwave Y may end near a level of 0.581, where correction (B) will equal 50% of impulse (A) according to Fibonacci lines. The probability of reaching that ratio is high. Consider long positions.

Trading plan for XRPUSD for today:

Buy 0.550, Take profit: 0.581

Elliott Wave Analysis for Ethereum

Ethereum‘s chart shows a breakdown of bearish impulse wave [C]. Its first three parts are fully formed. Sustained correction (4) is presumably unfolding. This correction is made of three subwaves—W-X-Y. The final subwave Y will presumably end near the level of 2,726.00, marked by actionary subwave [W]. Then, expect a reversal and a drop in impulse (5). Long positions can be considered in this scenario.

Trading plan for ETHUSD for today:

Buy 2,621.73, Take profit: 2,726.00
