According to Elliott Wave Strategy, a well-known market analyst on X focused on Elliott Wave patterns, Bitcoin appears to be entering the last phase of its current bear market.

The analyst further predicts a possible bottom for the market, forecasting Bitcoin to decline to the next bearish target of $55,759, indicated by the 1.618 Fibonacci level. According to this analysis, Bitcoin’s current structure lacks clear indicators of recovery until the ongoing correction is finished. Hence, he advises both investors and traders to brace for a potential downturn to $55,759, which could result in a loss of over 55% from Bitcoin's all-time high of over $126,000.

Review of Bitcoin's Wave 4 Performance

The wave count in Elliott Wave Strategy's chart shows that Bitcoin has completed Waves 1 through 4 of a five-wave bearish impulse. This pattern indicates a price drop from above $90,000, breaking through the 0.382 retracement level at $90,601 before accelerating below $75,300, aligning with the 0.5 retracement level. Following this sequence, Bitcoin continued its descent below the 0.382 Fibonacci Retracement level at $71,689.20, marking the beginning of the Wave 4 consolidation.

In a prior analysis, Elliott Wave Strategy pointed out that Bitcoin had entered its corrective Wave 4 structure as of February 12. He cautioned that the temporary rally above $71,000 before Wave 4's commencement should not be interpreted as the start of a new bull market, reinforcing a predominantly bearish outlook for Bitcoin.

The completed Wave 4 triangle has been capped by descending resistance around $70,000 and supported by a rising trendline near $66,000. This trendline has been described as a typical bearish continuation pattern, suggesting that Bitcoin may continue to experience further downward pressure.
