Bitcoin and Ethereum: Trader Updates his Outlook After Recent Gains
A trader who had correctly predicted the recent dip in the value of Bitcoin (BTC) has announced his intention to re-enter the market.
The trader, known in the industry as “Smart Contracter”, is known for his analysis based on the Elliot Wave Theory.

The switch was made to preserve the trader’s capital during the expected dip in the value of the flagship cryptocurrency.
Re-entry into the market
The trader has revealed that he is ready to re-enter the market after Bitcoin retraced from its recent high of about $24,200 to the $22,700 range.
He believes that the asset’s current value is low enough to justify re-entry into the market.
Bitcoin target
The trader has set a new target for the value of BTC above $25,000.
leaning towards the W5 on #btc being underway now taking out those 25k highs.
this might be the final push higher on daily before we get a deeper decline into the next few months, make the most of it imo

Accumulating Ethereum (ETH)
In addition to re-entering the BTC market, the trader has also started accumulating Ethereum (ETH).
He believes that the largest altcoin may be gearing up for another leg and that ETH/BTC still looks bearish.
Smart Contracter is slowly gaining exposure to ETH as he believes BTC has bottomed out.
interestingly eth has pulled back from the highs in only 3 waves and finding support near the 0.618 so maybe gearing up for another leg, not only that but ethbtc still looks bearish imo which means maybe btc has bottomed here too and outperforms
