Bitcoin market structure can be viewed as a large impulsive Elliot wave set. Wave 1 thru 3 have been created, putting us in wave 4. The ratio of peak 1 to peak 3 is approximately a Fibonacci extension of 16.883. Applying this extension from the theoretical reversal point 4 to point 5, a Bitcoin price of approx. $323,076 can be projected as apex of next bull market.

When point 5 occurs can be projected two ways. If you're incredibly bullish the average length of previous two bull markets is 898 days. 898 days from point 4 to point 5 is Dec. 2021. If you're more conservative the ratio of bull market 1 to bull market 2 (1.43) can be used to project (1064 x 1.43) 1,525 days, or September 2023.
