Ethereum (ETH) Shorter and Longer Degree of Trend Waves....Target $2,659; but NOT without Corrections!!
)
SUMMARY
It is almost most ideal to have a stair step rise rather than the unsustainable vertical explosions. The below chart shows shorter and larger degree of trends for Ethereum (ETH) with a mid-point targets of $1,714; $2,218 and a high of $2,659. Now, I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL! No one does! I'm purely using a probability mechanism supported by Elliott Waves, Chart Patterns and Fibonacci mathematics plus experience. However, I believe the Cryptosphere has embarked on a Altcoin Bull Cycle. I've been calling the Altcoin Popcorn Symphony! When a sizable bull sentiment is driving prices up, one needs to see it in terms of bigger and larger Waves. Below chart shows the Elliott Waves where I've subdivided the blue wave (iii) into an impulse of five.
Below is the ETH/BTC pair. WOW! The breakout has been impressive....like a bunch of mad bulls breaking out of a corral in the shape of a bullish downward pointing symmetrical triangle! Note how the triangle is impregnated with a smaller triangle...bullish! The Elliott Waves point to an all time new high potential at 0.1735 BTC....or HIGHER!

ETH
Do you also have PIVX analysis?
You're a liar. You do have a crystal ball.
No, but I'll bet he has a Magic 8-Ball.
This may be the first time I see it as not being so bad to be a liar:)
No crystal ball but does have my upvote.
xD
I like the sound of ETH @ $2500
ETH is a solid investment! It is probably the year of ETH.
A truly exciting time for the owners and investors. The owner had some moral issues with the way the crypto community is reacting toward the $$ involved.
Remember! There is more than money. This technology is revolutionary!
Keep up giving people power @haejin and people listen to this guy!
I believe we all know where ETH is going.
I think there are plenty of reasons why ETH will increase to those predicted figures and beyond. Theres Casper coming out, then Raiden, Plasma, Shading (all meant to help with scalability). Vitalik has also recently setup a fund to get people to develop of scalability solutions.
Also having Vitalik with such high IQ and passion is another great reason to believe that ETH will "succeed"..meaning it will ultimately create a world changing technology that will better our society. Goldman Sachs also recently named ETH as one of 8 trends thats about to change the world. When you have a big player like Goldman saying that then you should pay attention.
Totally agree, ETH will be revolutionary, just like internet. We are witnessing the beginning.
I totally agree! It'll be a exciting year.
thanks for sharing！
In pure monetary terms I guess this makes sense but with EOS looking like a much better long term project I am inclined to go with that. Thanks for the update Haejin.
I am of the belief that BTC has run it's course. Time for the ALTs to step up and take over.
The only reasons to be optimistic about ETH is that it has a talented team and few amazing projects running on Ethereum. Think how many world changing projects are on board with ETH. EOS will have to help them migrate. Currently EOS is like the Original Xbox or the New Xbox One X. A pure monster in terms of technicals but no must invest projects on it.
EOS needs to get people to migrate.
Indeed, can expect another x10 by launch ;)
I totally agree. EOS will leave ETH in the dust long before those scheduled improvements are in place.
EOS has a long way to go before it affects ETH, anyhow I would hold both just in case.
I am by no means a crypto whale, but almost all the crypto I have is in Ethereum or in Ethereum mining contracts.
Why? Because I believe that it has a stable long-term growth future for its niche use case. It's a great framework for tokenizing projects, either for capital raising purposes or creating niche revenue streams for e.g. digital goods and subscriptions to digital goods.
So I think that when Bitcoin Core hits a major correction -- and I believe that it will in the first half of this year -- Ethereum may take a small hit, but won't collapse as spectacularly, and will go right back to growing because its inherent value proposition is different from Bitcoin's. There are things it does that are not in competition with the case for Bitcoin or any Bitcoin variants as a direct medium of exchange.
The battle in Bitcoin right now is whether it is going to be a medium of exchange for buying a Coke at a convenience store, or whether it's going to be a high-end settlement layer. There's no future in the latter, at least at current market cap; and on the former, there are other cryptos that seem to be both doing a better job now and geared toward continuing to improve (Bitcoin Cash and Dash are two that come to mind).
None of this, by the way, is intended to argue against @haejin's short-term market analysis. My understanding is that he has a great record of predicting such trends using the Elliot Wave analysis method. If I was doing short- to medium-term speculation in crypto, I'd be following his advice.
I think it's too soon to speculate on when we will be using cryptocurrency for our daily exchanges. 2018 seems like a year of adjustment and possibly merging, i.e. some strong coins will probably merge together and the weaker ones will slowly die. Plus there's going to be a lot of war by the banks which are definitely not going to sit back and watch bitcoin take over.
True -- it's going to be some time before we're all checking out at Walmart, paying our bar tabs, ordering pizza, etc. with ZCash or whatever.
BUT: That is one of the promising possibilities of cryptocurrency, and it seems to me that it's the Holy Grail of such possibilities. And it seems to be the one that the Bitcoin white paper was aiming for.
Obviously as Bitcoin grew, speculation in its increasing value was going to drive that growth, but it wasn't created for speculation purposes.
And obviously Bitcoin was also suitable as a settlement layer for large money moves, but that wasn't what "Satoshi Nakamoto" had in mind as its primary purpose.
Bitcoin was supposed to be used for ordering pizza, checking out at Walmart, paying bar tabs AND as a high-end settlement layer, and speculation on its price fluctuations was just to be expected.
But once the big players decided to shit the bed on the scaling problem, that big first use case started disappearing as fees grew and waits lengthened. I don't think that the speculation prices can hold up long term under such conditions. At some point, either Bitcoin speeds up and gets reasonable fees again, or its price plunges and stays down, while some faster, cheaper competitor takes its place as the marquee crypto.
If I had a lot of money to invest in crypto, I'd probably go include Bitcoin Cash in my portfolio. Since I don't, I'm heavy on Ethereum because I think it will last and on Steem because I can earn it instead of shelling out fiat for it.
Ethereum ETH, can be good for a trade, but the platform has issues. I think EOS is setting up for a big move and is one to watch for 2018.
If and when it ever gets here. "A bird in the hand....yadda yadda yadda"
The EOS roadmap has its production release set for June 1. So far they've been hitting all of their target dates ahead of schedule. It will happen.
