Although the analyst is suggesting a long position on Bitcoin, he is also expecting major market corrections after completing the wave count. Per the analyst, Bitcoin is set to start on another wave count if it completes the final wave. However, the newer descending wave count will result from brutal market corrections and Bitcoin is expected to fall. From a high of $70,000, Bitcoin can be expected to fall to $60,000 or even lower.

Institution still driving Bitcoin price
