3 weeks ago I started a poll about a potential Bitcoin price correction. It was exactly [23 days ago](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@dragosroua/poll-when-bitcoin-correction-will-start-and-where-the-price-will-retrace), but that's not very relevant now. The poll had 2 questions:

* when do you think it will start?
* how low can the price go?

And a prize: 5 STEEM for the most accurate prediction.

I had a lot of entries and a lot of interesting comments. And while I know the current price drop may continue I decided to award the prize now, because I have reasons to believe a resistance has formed around $12,500 - $13,000 and we may see a pushback soon. 

Anyway, if the free fall won't stop, I will just start another poll about when the fall will stop.

Now, who won?

The most accurate prediction came from @hms818, except for the resistance level, which was lower than $16,000 (BTC dropped to $10,800):

The closest prediction after that came from @deanlogic, who will also receive 5 STEEM. There was no second place in the rules of the contest, but I hope he won't mind. @deanlogic was wrong about the resistance level, but in the opposite direction, BTC stopped before reaching $7-8,000.

All in all, this was a very fun day. Especially watching all those Twitter headlines about "the imminent crash of Bitcoin". Fun, fun, fun.
