According to a crypto analyst, the Bitcoin price remains firmly in a bear trend and could be preparing for another major crash to new lows. Using a wave structure, the expert mapped out BTC’s price action during this bearish phase, outlining how he sees the current market developing and where he believes the next downside move could lead. Contrary to other analysts’ predictions, the analyst believes that BTC has not yet reached its cycle bottom and may first see a final surge before plunging below $40,000. Related Reading: Stablecoins Go Institutional As Morgan Stanley Rolls Out New Portfolio Bitcoin Price Could Rebound To $80,000 Before A Final Crash Market analyst Crypto Bullet has presented a bearish BTC forecast on X, suggesting that the flagship cryptocurrency may still have more declines ahead before the current bear market ends. In his analysis, he described BTC’s market structure as a “Double ZigZag (WXY)” formation, using it to track the cryptocurrency’s price action from its October 2025 peak and project where the next major decline could unfold. One reason Crypto Bullet views BTC’s bear market through this WXY structure is because of how the cryptocurrency has traded in recent months. He noted that Bitcoin has spent far more time consolidating between $62,000 and $78,000 than it did in the $84,000 to $97,000 range, where it traded from November 2025 to January 2026. To him, that prolonged sideways movement reflects a broader bearish structure still playing out. Based on that setup, Crypto Bullet believes that BTC’s recent rebound above $78,000 does not mean its bear market has ended but could instead be part of a larger corrective move. He expects the cryptocurrency to make one final push higher toward $85,000, with this level as the next major resistance above his ABC target of $82,500, as highlighted on his chart. Crypto Bullet has tied this outlook to his WXY wave structure. According to him, Bitcoin completed wave W after peaking above $126,000 in October 2025 and plunging to $60,000 in February 2026. He noted that wave X also began after BTC reached $60,000 and projected it could end once the cryptocurrency rallies above $80,000. If that scenario plays out, Crypto Bullet expects wave Y as the final leg low, which is where he believes BTC could eventually find a bottom. In terms of timing, the analyst believes that BTC still has five months left before its bear market ends, which closely aligns with timelines from past bear cycles. Analyst Marks BTC Bottom Target At $40,000 Crypto Bullet’s bearish outlook for Bitcoin centers on wave Y, which he believes could bring the most severe downturn of this cycle. According to him, once Bitcoin completes its rebound above $80,000 in wave X, the market could reverse sharply, triggering a rapid price crash toward a final bottom.

He marked BTC’s potential bottom target at $40,000, expecting the move to play out between September and October 2026. From the $80,000 level, this would represent a whopping 50% decline, potentially wiping out bullish traders who had interpreted the surge to $80,000 as the start of a new bullish trend. Supporting this outlook, crypto analyst Tony Severino said he believes this could be the most likely scenario for BTC. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin is currently showing a structure that often precedes sharp volatility, with liquidity building above key levels while price consolidates below. This kind of setup typically signals that the market may first move to hunt those liquidity zones before establishing its next clear directional trend. Bitcoin Builds Liquidity Cluster Around $80K Zone Crypto analyst Cryptorphic noted that Bitcoin is once again building a dense cluster of liquidity around the $80,000 level. This area is becoming increasingly important, as leveraged positions continue to stack above current price action, creating a potential target zone for the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rebounds Strongly — Can Bulls Drive Price Toward $79,000 At present, Bitcoin is trading below this liquidity pocket and moving within a relatively compressed range, reflecting indecision in the market, where price consolidates before a larger expansion. Historically, similar setups have frequently led to liquidity sweeps as the market seeks out areas of unfilled orders. These liquidity zones tend to act like magnets, drawing price toward them as stop-losses and liquidation points accumulate. With so much interest positioned around $80,000, the upside liquidity becomes a natural target if momentum shifts even slightly in favor of buyers. The broader implication is that Bitcoin may first attempt to sweep this $80,000 zone or reach that liquidity level and react from it before any sustained directional move becomes clear. Markets Move In Two Clear Phases According to the analyst Mags, the market moves through two distinct phases. The first being the Bull Phase, Mags highlights that while the primary trend is upward, it is never a straight line to the top. Instead, price action is characterized by multiple pullbacks, often ranging from 20% to 30%, which occur before a cycle peak is reached. These corrections are presented not as threats, but as a normal and necessary part of every cycle‘s journey, resting sentiment, and fueling continuation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could See Short-Term Pullback Following Price Rebound — Analyst The second stage identified by Mags is the Bear Phase, which is triggered when the underlying market structure finally breaks. This shift leads to a much deeper correction than the standard pullbacks seen during the ascent. During this period, the market undergoes a process of finding a definitive bottom, clearing the stage for the next trend to begin. Ultimately, Mags argues that while the phases transition, the presence of volatility is the one that never changes. The difference between success and failure lies in the ability to recognize your current position within the cycle. As Mags points out, history has consistently rewarded those who can ignore the noise of short-term swings and focus on the long-term game, recognizing that each phase is simply a part of the market’s natural rhythm.

Buyers have been quietly stepping in at lower prices every time XRP dips — and that pattern is now drawing attention from traders watching the token closely. Related Reading: Stablecoins Go Institutional As Morgan Stanley Rolls Out New Portfolio Sellers Losing Their Grip XRP has been grinding between $1.37 and $1.45 for days, stuck in a tight range that has produced repeated rejections near the top. But each time the price pulls back, it holds at a higher low than before. That slow climb from the bottom of the range is a classic sign that buying pressure is building. On the hourly chart, the price has compressed into a triangle formation — a structure that typically precedes a sharp move in one direction. Based on reports from market analysts, that move could measure out to roughly 10%, which is the basis of the breakout call drawing attention now. The question is whether buyers have enough strength to push through. So far, they have not. Sellers have defended the $1.45 resistance level multiple times, and the broader trend indicators are still pointing down. A triangle on the $XRP hourly chart suggests a 10% move could be coming soon. pic.twitter.com/leCsnS4Zf1 — Ali Charts (@alicharts) April 24, 2026 The 50-day moving average sits below the 200-day moving average — a setup traders call a death cross, which signals a larger bearish trend. Volume has remained flat, with no major spikes to confirm that either side is gaining control. Mixed Signals On The Charts Not all the data is bearish. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, better known as MACD, flipped bullish in mid-April for the first time since January. That crossover matters because the last time it happened — in early January — XRP rallied 25% to $2.40 within seven trading days. Reports indicate the MACD line had stayed below the signal line for most of 2026, and every prior attempt to flip it had failed. Whale activity has also picked up. On-chain data shows large holders accumulated 360 million XRP tokens over a single week in mid-April. At the same time, spot XRP exchange-traded funds pulled in $55 million during the week ending April 18 — the strongest weekly inflow of the year. Cumulative ETF flows have climbed back to $1.27 billion, with Goldman Sachs holding the largest institutional position among the fund providers. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Big Players Are Accumulating — Is $80K Just The Start? Legal Clarity Adds To The Setup Part of what makes this moment different from previous consolidation phases is the regulatory backdrop. On March 17, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission formally classified XRP as a digital commodity rather than a security. That ruling put to rest years of legal disputes that had kept institutional money on the sidelines. Reports note the classification was a turning point for the token’s standing with large investors.
