LINK/BTC Shows a Pattern Setup for a Potential Trend Reversal

SUMMARY

In the scheme of larger degree of trends, these temporary price corrections are meaningless! Why? Because the old equities based paradigm of valuation needs to go out the window when it comes to Cryptocurrencies. Unlike an inflationary based FIAT, Cryptos are deflationary pegged; and so more likely to induce a liquidity shortage event. What does this mean? Let's say one wants to purchase 500k of a very thinly traded coin. It would be nearly impossible to amass such numbers without bidding up. The thinly traded coin simply does not have the liquidity to enable a 500k coin purchase at static price. As coins like Bitcoin is finite supply based, greater participation, especially by Wall Street Hedge Funds, will lead to MASSIVE liquidity shortage driven orgasmic lunges upwards of price. Cryptocurrencies is still thinly participated and that means these price dips are nothing more than very healthy consolidations and the bottoms should be aggressively bought!

The below chart of LINK/BTC is showing a Cup & Handle that fits well into a nearly complete consolidation phase. The handle pattern is taking the form of a consecutive downward wedge. Prices have a propensity to break out of these wedge patterns. In addition, a successful Cup & Handle also provides sustainable price run ups. The blue Elliott Waves provide a smaller degree of trend should price breach the upper line of the second wedge pattern. The lower support line needs to hold. As the MACD is still declining, it hasn't started to turn upwards yet and a breakout would initiate the curl up of the 12 day blue line (blue circle).
