๐ธ The $84K-$90K zone is indeed a major liquidity and resistance area. A sweep of that region before any larger correction would make sense from a market structure perspective.
๐ธ However, comparing this cycle directly to previous 60-70% drawdowns may be misleading because Bitcoin now has:
๐ข Spot ETF demand
๐ข Corporate treasury adoption
๐ข Sovereign and institutional participation
๐ข Significantly deeper liquidity than prior cycles
๐ธ That doesn't mean a bear market can't happen. It simply means the magnitude may differ from previous cycles.

๐ Scenario 1 (Higher Probability)
๐ถ BTC sweeps $85K-$90K
๐ถ Altcoins enjoy a final strong rotation
๐ถ Market becomes euphoric
๐ถ BTC then enters a deeper correction toward $60K-$70K
๐ Scenario 2 (Bearish)
๐ถ BTC reclaims $85K
๐ถ Fails to hold
๐ถ Macro conditions deteriorate
๐ถ Full cycle unwind sends BTC toward $50K-$55K

๐ Most major cycle tops occur when participants become convinced that downside is impossible.
Right now, many traders believe ETFs and institutions have permanently changed the cycle. Historically, that type of confidence often appears near important turning points.

๐ถ $84K-$90K liquidity zone
๐ถ Stablecoin dominance ($USDT.D)
๐ถ Altcoin market share ($OTHERS.D)
๐ถ ETF inflows/outflows
๐ถ Whether BTC can reclaim and hold above the Bull Market Support Band
If Bitcoin reaches the $85K-$90K region and sentiment becomes extremely bullish while altcoins are flying, I'd become much more open to the idea of a major cycle top forming.
A move below $50K is possible, but I would currently view $60K-$70K as a more realistic bear-market target unless macro conditions deteriorate significantly.
