The Bitcoin price is currently down more than -22% from its all-time, displaying a series of lower highs on the daily timeframe. While the weekly and monthly time bullish, the calls for the beginning of the Bitcoin bear market are growing louder on X. Two prominent analysts have weighed in on what they believe could be the deciding factor for an extended rallyโor a deeper downturn.
Bitcoin Bull Run In Jeopardy
Crypto analyst Charting Guy, posting under the handle @ChartingGuy, shared a chart that places strong emphasis on the $95,000 price point for Bitcoin, noting: โyes i will flip back to fully bullish [โฆ] for that to happen BTC needs to reclaim and hold $95k, which he has stated many times [โฆ] itโs the level that was prior support for majority of February, then we rejected from it hard on March 2nd and turned it to resistance [โฆ] now, with $76.7k on March 11th being the very likely local low, we pull a fib and $95k just happens to perfectly be the 0.618 fib. you cannot make this up.โ

According to his analysis, the 0.618 Fibonacci retracementโoften called the โgolden pocketโโlooms large as a definitive test of bullish strength. Failing to break above and flip this zone into support, Charting Guy cautions, could lead to an extended bearish phase.

He further explained that Bitcoin (BTC) and equities, such as the S&P 500 (SPY), must navigate their respective golden pockets before any real, sustained rally can begin: โif crypto and stocks canโt reclaim the golden pocket and flip it to support, and end up rejecting there instead, then i am bearish on BTC & stocks for a while.โ
Nevertheless, Charting Guy sees potential for a bull run in April through June: โApril โ June shall be bullish af imo [โฆ] BUT that extension into June is only if May is strong and not a sell in May and go away type of month [โฆ] what will determine that? how BTC & SPY both react at their respective golden pockets when they get there on this April relief rally.โ
If these technical barriers prove insurmountable, Charting Guy says he will exit his positions: โif this purely is just a relief rally and the charts look toppy again when weโre back at these levels late April/early May, then i will be OUT of this market.โ
Another crypto analyst, @wauwda, has taken a more cautious stance, noting several bearish signals for both Bitcoin and the S&P 500: โEvery indicator is getting bearish on the HTF for BTC & SPX: Bearish Stochastic RSI cross, Bearish MACD cross, Bearish divergence RSI, MSTR lower high, Altcoins higher high โฆ Ultimate Bull Trap.โ

While Wauwda anticipates a relief rallyโciting the potential for a bounce due to extreme bearish sentimentโhe points out parallels with 2021. He lists a series of events he deems indicative of market-wide euphoria, including high-profile celebrity endorsements, big corporate plays, and meme-driven hype:
โโWe didnโt have euphoria yetโ โฆ Are you sure? Founder Tron buys banana for $6.2M and eats it, Coinbase gives free bitcoin to every person at the warriors game, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Teens are getting crypto courses on school, People are flexing on yachts, Doge is worth more than General Motors, Bank of New York Melon, Peter Schiff created his own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This is just a tiny part of what I wrote down.โ
Despite acknowledging that this cycleโs euphoria might look different from previous ones, Wauwda notes that similar warning signs appeared ahead of the 2021 market top. He also points to ETH/BTC and Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) as factors to watch, though both have shown volatile, oscillating patterns rather than a clear trend: โThe thing Iโm struggling with though right now is ETHBTC and BTCD since they both have been up and down only, but maybe that will change with the next leg up.โ
At press time, BTC traded at $84,206.
