Analyst are just beginning to review their outlooks in the wake of the market nosedive.
The pseudonymous analyst known as Credible Crypto tells his 345,100 followers on the social media platform X that he believes Bitcoin’s drop marks the beginning of a final consolidation phase before BTC will eventually break to the upside.
“This is it – the largest amount of daily liquidations in over a month on this move. Should be the beginning of the end of this consolidation.
Every single consolidation structure since $15,000 has ended with a final flush to the downside before a reversal. Anything above $25,000 is fair game and doesn’t change HTF (high timeframe) bullish structure in the slightest. Get through this and you’re good.”
