Bitcoin maintains a bearish outlook on the 4-hour chart, with the displayed price at 80,247.85 following rejection from wave X/(c) near 84,849.70. The Elliott Wave count preserves the completed W-X structure, followed by a developing (a)-(b)-(c) decline. Since October 23, price has weakened from 81,381.60, supporting the previous bearish forecast. The latest chart marks further downside at 79,253.95, while the blue projection anticipates a temporary wave (c) rebound toward the 50.0% Fibonacci area near 80,650 before another decline toward approximately 78,500. A sustained break below 79,253.95 would strengthen bearish continuation, whereas recovery above 84,849.70 would invalidate the annotated bearish structure.
