Price did move higher towards the target in the previous analysis, which was at 57,669. By this week the target had not been met.
On the 30th of August the main wave count expected a pullback to about 37,132. Over the next two weeks this was what happened, although price moved a little sideways and then higher first.
Apart from expecting a pullback, the analysis was very bullish and expected new all-time highs from Bitcoin in the near future.

After the upwards breakout, Bitcoin saw a small pullback. The main Elliott wave count of October 25th expected the small pullback was over and Bitcoin should continue to move overall higher.
ALTERNATE DAILY CHART

The alternate Elliott wave count differed from the main Elliott wave count only in looking out for a smaller pullback or consolidation to unfold before another upwards breakout to new all-time highs. The alternate Elliott wave count considered that Bitcoin may have some more “work” to do before the breakout could be sustained. The target for support was identified at 56,561.
Bitcoin did move a little lower to find support at 58,208 two days later on October 27th. To date this low has been held.
