In anX post on February 21, More Crypto Online provided an interesting outlook on the Bitcoin market structure. In the past week, the premier cryptocurrency notably experiencedsome rise price gains leading to a temporal rise above the $99,000 region, before crashing to its present market price of around $95,000.
Following this price action, the experts at More Crypto Online postulate that Bitcoin might have formed a local price top which shows some correlation with recent developments in the stock market. This theory holds more weight, especially considering BTC’s inability to hold above the February 14 market high of $97,800. Source: @Morecryptoonl on X
However, using Elliot Wave Theory, these analysts explain two scenarios that could confirm the actual status of the Bitcoin market. Firstly, they propose that BTC could likely be in a corrective Wave 2 movement i.e. a mere retracement after its initial upswing (Wave 1) that precedes a strong bull rally (Wave 3).
For this bullish prediction to remain viable, Bitcoin must hold above the $94,645 support level. If a considerable amount of buying pressure can be introduced at this price zone forcing a consolidation, the cryptocurrency could be set for a price surge to around $103,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks below $94,645, selling pressure is likely to intensify, leading to further price drops.
However, only a price fall below the $93,450 support zone would nullify the current bullish set-up, indicating the current downtrend is a trend reversal rather than a retracement. In this negative case, Bitcoin could slide to $91,000 with the potential for further decline to below $89,000.

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $96,261 following a 1.78% loss in the past 24 hours. However, the market’s daily trading volume is up by 56.60% and is valued at $49.03 billion.
According to data from Coincodex, the Fear & Greed Index is currently at 49 indicating a neutral sentiment from investors. This development corresponds with the general uncertainty as investors are in a wait-and-see phase as they are unsure about Bitcoin’s next price move.
Interestingly, CoinCodex analysts remain optimistic with a bullish prediction of $108,429 in five days and $131,693 in the next month. BTC trading at $96,249 on the daily chart | Source: BTCUSDT chart on Tradingview.com Featured image from The Guardian, chart from Tradingview
