Bitcoin Price Could Collapse to $70K or Lower as Bull Market Is Over: Elliott Wave Expert
Summary
Jon Glover, Elliott Wave analyst and Ledn’s Chief Investment Officer, warns that the Bitcoin bull market which started in early 2023 has likely concluded following a recent drop from $126,000 to $104,000. Based on the Elliott Wave theory, Glover anticipates entering a sustained bear market that could last until at least late 2026, with Bitcoin prices potentially trading between $70,000 and $80,000, or even lower. This bearish call was prompted by Bitcoin's failure to sustain momentum above $125,000, confirming the end of the five-wave upward structure that peaked above $126,000. This outlook aligns with historical trends showing Bitcoin peaking roughly 18 months after a halving event, with the most recent one occurring in April 2024. Furthermore, data shows put options expiring in September 2026 are trading at a premium, suggesting traders are hedging against significant downside risk.
