Bitcoin dropped below $7,800 on Thursday after a strong push to $8,400. Will the correction continue below $7,000?
When Bitcoin surged in April and spiked 4,300 previous 2019 high, few would have expected the strength of the current bullish run. A rally to 6,000-6,800 was generally expected at this time. However, Bitcoin exceeded expectations as it continued a bullish run throughout April while the altcoins dropped most of their early April gains. In May, BTC continued where it stopped in April with a big upsurge into the $7,500 to 8,500 zone hitting its highest price since July 2018 in the process.
This week, the altcoins joined Bitcoin with upsurges across the board. On Wednesday, there were broad advances with the exception of Bitcoin. BTC market dominance has now dropped from 59% to 56.6%. Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin have surged higher than Bitcoin since the December lows.
One thing that should be noted is Bitcoin involvement in big moves. Once Bitcoin surges and consolidates, the altcoins often follow. Two digit rallies are seen among the top altcoins since Wednesday while Bitcoin price lost the momentum to exceed the 8,400 top. It's quite possible that the current dip will continue to $6,500 before the next round of rallies pushes BTC toward the $10,000 mark.
Bitcoin price prediction: Elliott wave perspective
From the perspective of Elliott wave theory, the rally from 3100 low is developing into an impulse wave. Impulse waves are made up of five non-overlapping waves. In the last update, we expected the 3rd wave to end and a 4th wave dip to follow. The chart below was used.
The 7500-8500 resistance zone is expected to hold. Price has now dropped from 8,400 to 7,700 at the time of writing. The 4th wave could test the 6800-7000 support zone. The chart below shows the new update.

The chart above shows the sub-wave of wave 3. The 3rd wave was very much extended. The 4th wave dip is expected to be shallow and end between 6,400 and 7,200 before the 5th wave rally toward $10,000. At the end of wave (1), a 3-wave dip to 5,500-6000 should follow
