Bitcoin’s Final Shakeouts Are Brutal: Analyst Has Good and Bad News

The past few days have been nothing short of violent rollercoasters that brought bitcoin and most altcoins down to multi-month lows.

Analysts are now split on whether the largest cryptocurrency has bottomed at $94,000 after dumping by $13,000 in just three days.

Final Shakeout Ahead?

BTC is notorious for its volatility, especially in the TradFi ecosystem, where double-digit price moves in either direction are almost never seen. Bitcoin has definitely matured lately compared to its previous massive crashes of 20-30% in a day. However, it still endures some vivid fluctuations, which seem more violent now, given the higher price. Percentage-wise, though, even yesterday’s big crash pales in comparison to countless others in the past.

Some analysts called the Friday crash a breeze, while others believe the real bottom is not in, and the asset could drop to as low as $74,000. Merlijn The Trader also noted that there could be another leg down in BTC’s cards, due to the existence of a CME gap at around $92,000. Such gaps are often filled, even weeks or months later, and Merlijn suggested that the final shakeout might be around the corner.

The Bull Case

After predicting another retracement to $92,000, the analyst outlined that it could be the exact push the cryptocurrency needs to stage another rally to fresh peaks. In a separate post, Merlijn noted that Phase E was confirmed as the Wyckoff blueprint “played out to perfection.” He doubled down that this is the final zone of shakeouts and added:

Additionally, Merlijn outlined the declining BTC reserves on exchanges, which just hit a new all-time low. He commented that such supply drops are rarely combined with price pullbacks, and described it as the “perfect storm is brewing.”
