Renowned for his accurate Bitcoin (BTC) predictions, cryptocurrency analyst Dave the Wave highlighted a different perspective by suggesting that the recent price correction of the largest cryptocurrency is beneficial for its long-term bullish trend. The analyst also added that if Bitcoin falls below $60,000, the possibility of a parabolic rally would be eliminated.
Signal for Longer Consolidation
According to Dave the Wave, the current price movement indicating a longer consolidation for Bitcoin has been a healthy move. The analyst believes this consolidation phase will help Bitcoin establish a more stable foundation, triggering a stronger upward movement later in the year. He emphasized that a market driven by early parabolic fluctuations and high hype could result in lower peak prices compared to a more controlled and stable growth market.
On the other hand, the analyst warned investors by adding that Bitcoin could fall to $50,000 and find support at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. He emphasized that this drop would place Bitcoin back into the “buy zone” of the logarithmic growth curve (LGC) model.
For those unfamiliar, this model is designed to filter short-term price volatility and predict Bitcoin’s long-term cycle bottoms and peaks. The analyst expects such a drop to put BTC into a renewed and solid bullish trend.
Technical Indicators and Market Sentiment
Dave the Wave believes that Bitcoin’s recent price movement below $60,000 is a signal for further consolidation. According to him, this consolidation is necessary for Bitcoin to rise strongly in the future and form a stronger foundation. The analyst stated that a stable and gradual rise is more preferable and sustainable than a rapid and parabolic rise. This approach could enable the market to reach higher prices more effectively at a later date.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $60,686, a 0.25% drop in the last 24 hours, above the critical $60,000 threshold. As known, BTC had dropped to $58,400 on June 24, and the current prices represent a significant recovery.
