Now that the ABC (orange) of wave B (green) is completed, price action should start a downtrend within an impulsive wave C (green) of a larger ABC (green).
The main bearish target is the -27.2% Fibonacci target at $27,676. The -61.8% Fibonacci target is located around the $25k support.

Bitcoin rejection weekly candle

The next bearish price swing (red arrow) is aiming at the 88.6% Fibonacci around $11.2k.
Price action could bounce back up (blue arrow) at this support Fibonacci level.
A bullish bounce could mark the end of the bearish ABC (yellow) pattern within wave W (pink).
A bullish bounce could be within a wave X (pink) of a larger WXY (pink) in wave 2 (gray).
