FLOKI Price Prediction: How Long Will Increase Continue?
Technical analysts employ the Elliott Wave theory to identify recurring long-term price patterns and investor psychology, which helps them determine the direction of a trend.
The most likely wave count is bullish. It suggests that the FLOKI price is nearing the top of wave three in a five-wave upward movement (black).
Due to the long upper wick (red icon), it is possible that the price will soon reach a local top and correct in wave four. The correction could end near the 0.382 Fib retracement support level at $0.000032.
Afterward, the fifth and final wave can take the price to the next resistance at $0.000048, a 25% price increase from the current level and a 50% increase from the 0.382 Fib support.

Despite this bullish FLOKI price prediction, a close below the $0.000029 horizontal area will invalidate the bullish count.
In that case, a 55% drop to the closest support at $0.000018 will be likely.
