Bitcoin hit $11000 the first time since January after completing a corrective phase. What should be expected next? Will price advance further? The following 19-21 February Bitcoin price prediction looks at BTCUSD using Elliott wave theory.
19 February, AtoZForex - About 2 weeks ago, the price was bottoming around $6000 amidst regulation concerns. Technically, it was also believed that the dip was a correction. After a well trendy market moves, it's just a matter of time before a correction sweeps in. In our previous updates, we had forecast a price between $5000-$6000 as the last bearish target before the next big bullish move.
One of the advantages that Elliott wave theory has over other technical methods is its ability to differentiate between a trend and a correction. Trends and corrections appear in form of repeating price patterns. In the last update, we used the chart below.

The chart above shows an emerging impulse wave rally from $6000. The impulse wave rally is not yet complete.
