@Crypto_Ed_NL
Crypto Ed is a Dutch Elliott Wave trader who posts Bitcoin and Ether charts to about 174,000 followers on X and runs a paid trading group. He called the April rally to $80,000 and the June drop. He also said the bottom was in on 20 April, ten weeks before Bitcoin's lowest close of the window. In August he expected a final leg lower toward a box between about 40k and 52k, and Bitcoin rose instead.
In short. Crypto Ed posts as @Crypto_Ed_NL. On our sample of ten in-window calls the record is 4 played out, 3 open or mixed, 3 went against. His shorter-term targets often landed, such as $80,000 in April, the June drop and Ether's May and October pullbacks. His bigger turning-point calls missed: the April bottom call and the August call for a final leg lower. His $170,000 target and his late-September 90k call are open.
Crypto Ed's X profile, opened in August 2017, says: “Founder of training & trading group https://www.crypto-ta.nl/ No hype, no BS.” He signs his site's quotes as “Crypto Ed”, and the site calls the daily videos “Ed his Bitcoin updates”. He does not give a full name. His posts are often in Dutch. On 27 April he wrote to his Dutch followers from Spain, and on 6 October he wrote that he emigrated more than five years ago.
His method is Elliott Wave: he counts legs, marks a red box where he expects a reversal and a green box as a target. He writes that a green box “is at first a target and a POSSIBLE reversal area.” Most weeks he posts a short Bitcoin video update on X, sponsored by the WOO X exchange. He often reads Bitcoin's next move from the S&P 500.
We read 367 of his own posts from 16 March to 7 October, as returned by X search and his profile feed. We charted the ones that give a direction or a level for Bitcoin or Ether in the text. Many of his posts show a path only on the chart; we used the chart to read the box levels but quote only the text. He took a summer break, so July and early August have few posts.

Elliott Wave counts with boxes. He counts five legs up and three down, and marks where a leg should end. He often gives two paths and says which he prefers: “TA is not a matter of crystal ball and choose 1 direction.” He updates the count when price breaks a level, and says so in public, as on 24 May: “Looks like I was wrong”. He rarely gives a date.
Bullish. On 5 October he posted a video titled “Changing my outlook. More up?!” and called for a move “Towards 90k” after a dip. On 7 October his video asked “$90,000 next?”. His long-term target is $170,000.
Ten dated calls from Crypto Ed, all from his own X posts, each checked word for word against the post and charted against real price. The tally is 4 played out, 3 open or mixed, 3 went against.
“Target for the current pullback. Sweep the previous low for liquidity. Towards 90k after that.”
Posted at $86,490; his chart put the previous low near 82.5K. The next morning he added that Bitcoin might skip the dip and “attack 90k soon”. Bitcoin fell to $81,686 (−5.6%) early on 9 October, below 82.5K, and is at $82,171 (−5.0%). The sweep came; the move to 90k has not. Open.
𝕏 Post“Towards 90k after that.” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“Same for ETHUSD First target is top of the old range, possible extension lower to sweep the low and run the stops.”
Posted at $2,688. His chart put the top of the old range near 2,545 and its low near 2,355. Ether held near $2,700 for a week and reached $2,726 (+1.4%) on 5 October. It then fell to $2,473 (−8.0%) on 9 October, below 2,545, and is at $2,488 (−7.4%). The first target was reached; the extension to the range low has not come. Played out.
𝕏 Post“First target is top of the old range” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“Looks more like a corrective bounce as B and now going for C around 85k. If so, still expecting at least 1 more leg up to 88-90k”
Posted at $86,183. Bitcoin closed at $84,382 (−2.1%) on 24 September, near his 85k. That morning he wrote that a correction may have started and that Bitcoin was “not going for 88-90k anymore”. Its best close after the post was $86,490 (+0.4%) on 5 October, and it is at $82,171 (−4.7%). The leg to 88-90k did not come. Went against.
𝕏 Post“still expecting at least 1 more leg up to 88-90k” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“7: break EQ and I think it'll go for a sweep of the range low for liquidity.”
Posted at $2,468. His chart put the range low near 2,355 and the range high near 2,545, and drew a dip below the low followed by a rally. Ether's lowest close after the post was $2,397 (−2.8%) on 16 September, above the range low. It closed above the range high on 19 September, at $2,612 (+5.8%), and reached $2,775 (+12.5%) on 22 September. It is at $2,488 (+0.8%). The dip came but did not sweep the low on a daily close; the rally did come. We mark it mixed.
𝕏 Post“I think it'll go for a sweep of the range low” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“$170,000 is my target, but not just yet.”
Posted at $78,553, with a video update. The next day he wrote that Bitcoin was going “for the green box first”. Bitcoin dipped to $75,590 (−3.8%) on 16 September, then rose to $86,597 (+10.2%) on 22 September. It is at $82,171 (+4.6%), less than half of $170,000. He gave no date. Open.
𝕏 Post“$170,000 is my target, but not just yet.” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“Blue doodle: a bit more bounce, back into the discount zone (~70k), followed by a final leg lower to the green box. Red doodle: that leg lower from here.”
Posted at $63,916. On his chart the green box sat between about 40k and 52k, and both paths ran into it. Bitcoin's lowest close after the post was $62,844 (−1.7%) on 17 August. It broke above 67.5K on 20 August, at $69,291 (+8.4%), and reached $86,597 (+35.5%) on 22 September. It is at $82,171 (+28.6%). The final leg lower did not come. Went against.
𝕏 Post“followed by a final leg lower to the green box” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“Meanwhile, BTC is heading lower towards the green box. But I must say that I'm not 100% convinced we'll see a strong bounce from the box. Might go a bit lower, so I wait and see.”
Posted at $73,599; the green box on his chart sat at about 70k to 71k. Bitcoin closed below it on 3 June, at $66,727 (−9.3%), and fell to $60,855 (−17.3%) on 7 June. The low came on 1 July at $58,566 (−20.4%). It is at $82,171 (+11.6%). Bitcoin went lower, and further than “a bit”. Played out.
𝕏 Post“Meanwhile, BTC is heading lower towards the green box.” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“If so, I do expect another leg lower after that which is based on my expectations for SPX … BTC ~75k ETH ~2020-20240”
Posted at $2,131. His Ether target reads “~2020-20240” in the post, about $2,020. Ether closed at $2,022 (−5.1%) on 28 May and $2,008 (−5.8%) on 29 May; Bitcoin fell below 75k the same week. Ether kept falling, to $1,566 (−26.5%) on 26 June. It is at $2,488 (+16.8%). The leg lower reached his target. Played out.
𝕏 Post“I do expect another leg lower after that” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“So.....now I'm saying: I believe the bottom is in for BTC!!”
Posted at $73,841. His video that morning was titled “Bottom in at $60k?”. Bitcoin rose to $82,018 (+11.1%) on 11 May. It then closed below $60,000 on 26 June, at $59,727 (−19.1%), and made the window's lowest close of $58,566 (−20.7%) on 1 July. It is at $82,171 (+11.3%). The bottom was not in. Went against.
𝕏 Post“I believe the bottom is in for BTC!!” — @Crypto_Ed_NL on X↗ x.com“In my opinion it's too early to say bottom is in...no confirmation yet (in EW terms). But even a lesser agressive approach gives me a target of at least $80,000 from here with that Double Correction.”
Posted at $71,368. Two days earlier he had said Bitcoin could start “a move to 50k” or correct and rise again. Bitcoin closed above $80,000 on 6 May, at $80,914 (+13.4%), and reached $82,018 (+14.9%) on 11 May. It then fell to $58,566 (−17.9%) on 1 July and is at $82,171 (+15.1%). The $80,000 target was hit. Played out.
