Short-Term Analysis for BTCUSD, XRPUSD, and ETHUSD for 17.04.2025

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

Crypto prices are trading in line with predictions.

The article covers the following subjects:

Major Takeaways

  • BTCUSD: the price is expected to decline in correction 2. Consider opening short positions from the current level with Take Profit at 79,000.00.
  • XRPUSD: the price will likely slide in correction 2. Consider opening short positions with Take Profit at 1.890.

Elliott Wave Analysis for Bitcoin

A bullish wave is developing on the last segment of Bitcoin‘s chart as an impulse (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5). Its sub-waves (1) and (2) are completed, and impulse (3) may have formed, too. The correction (4) has recently formed as a triple zigzag W-X-Y-XX-Z. The last segment of the chart shows that the price has reversed, and a bullish impulse has started to unfold. Its first sub-wave 1 is likely completed. The asset is expected to slide in a corrective sub-wave 2, which may retrace 61.8% of wave 1, according to Fibonacci ratios. Thus, the price may fall to 79,000.00.

Trading Plan for BTCUSD for Today:

Sell 84,729.73, Take profit: 79,000.00


Elliott Wave Analysis for Ripple

A global bullish impulse (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5) is developing on the XRPUSD chart. Its large impulse sub-wave (3) is likely completed, and correction (4) has formed as a triple zigzag W-X-Y-X-Z. The initial part of the new bullish trend is underway, with its first sub-wave 1 formed as a leading diagonal wave. The price is expected to drop in correction 2 towards 1.890. At this level, the wave 2 will retrace 50% of the wave 1.
