Yes, I think a surge can happen without a dip. That said, I think it'd be much healthier if bitcoin did dip first...at least down to the prior 2018 low (roughly $5,750). Technically that'd give us closure. If it does test the prior low, there's a good chance the support breaks. As you likely know, every time a support is tested, that support gets weaker. If price drops to the prior low and starts consolidating, I think there's a good chance we're going lower. If it drops and immediately bounces strongly, I'll start calling a bottom.
Right now, we need to break out of this range. As I said in the video, a break above $6,800 would likely signal the start of a bull run, a break below $6,040 will likely signal lower lows to follow.
