The analyst further remarked that this is not a dip, a correction, or a shakeout, but rather capitulation happening in real time. His accompanying chart showed that the leading crypto could drop to around $55,000 following the breakdown below the key support level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Related Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted his track record, noting that he called the $16,000 bottom in 2022 and the <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-fakeout-theory-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">top for the Bitcoin price<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in October 2025.

He noted that there was also a relief rally in 2021 that felt like the bottom, but it wasn\u2019t the bottom, and everyone who bought BTC before the rally saw losses on the next leg down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly, the Bitcoin price is once again in a <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-rally-may-have-been-trap-what-demand-reveal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">relief rally phase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, with many market participants believing that the February 2026 low of $60,000 was the bottom.
