Crypto Trader Issues Bitcoin Warning, Says BTC Flashed Potential Bull Market Top

By Henry Kanapi

A closely followed crypto strategist is warning that Bitcoin (BTC) may have already printed a bull market top.

Analyst Ali Martinez tells his 60,700 followers on the social media platform X that realized profits, or gains converted to cash, have historically coincided with Bitcoin market tops.

The analyst highlights that when Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high of more than $73,000, realized profits soared to a new high and eclipsed levels witnessed during the 2018, 2021 and 2022 bull market tops.

Martinez says that he needs another signal to confirm his bearish stance.

“Still, I’m waiting for another confirmation before calling a Bitcoin market top.

For instance, a sustained close below the BTC short-term holder realized price, which currently hovers around $59,800, can confirm a potential BTC market top.”

But the analyst says his call will be invalidated if Bitcoin manages to reclaim a key price level.

“If Bitcoin can surge above $66,250 and reclaim this area as support, the bearish outlook will be invalidated…

By rising above $66,250, Bitcoin will gain the strength to push towards $69,150.

And if this resistance barrier is breached, then BTC can advance toward a new all-time high of $92,190.”
