Bitcoin Price Support Broken

Bitcoin closed just below the arc support it had been resting on for a couple days.  As you can see below, the top of the square stopped this advance for 3 days in a row.  This break below support does not support the bullish argument. Let’s look closer at a short-term chart to see if there is more information to be gleaned therein:Here can see that the bearish setup from the swing high on a 4-hour chart (Kraken) has also seen a break in support, as price has closed below first arc support (blue arc), and also below the 2×1 Gann angle (red line). As can be observed, the 2×1 was resisting price for quite a while before it just briefly managed to get (marginally) above the angle. All of these things suggest weakness in price will continue.
I have expressed the opinion on these pages that the correction was not yet over.  If in fact the downturn resumes here, perhaps as a C wave of an A-B-C Elliott Wave, this bear setup on the daily chart indicates where the major supports will be found:Interestingly, price was stopped by the 1×1 angle on this setup, which suggests that pricetime is respecting the setup.
The blue arrow is pointing to the ‘0 line’ of an Andrews Pitchfork (not shown).  That support, at ~ 850 could hold, at least temporarily.  More likely, imho, long-term support will be found at the 3rdor 5th arc pairs  (red and green arrows respectively).  The green arrow shows the intersection of the 5th arc and the 2/21/2017 timeframe.  This February date is highlighted as a significant energy point (in time) in the bitcoin market by the ‘Spiral Calendar’ championed by Chris Carolyn.
Happy trading!
