Brandt has cautioned that it is "very, very unconventional" and that it is too early to confirm the pattern; he suggested it could eventually signal a shift in momentum for BTC.

Increased stability

Adding to the market outlook, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently indicated a shift in his perspective regarding Bitcoin’s volatility

Speaking to CNBC, Fink noted that he previously held concerns regarding excessive leverage within the crypto market. However, he now believes the market has achieved greater stability following a "major market shakeout" that washed out speculative positions.

Beyond Bitcoin, Fink expressed strong optimism for the broader financial markets over the coming 12 months.

Is the bottom not in?

While some see signs of a bottom, other institutional voices suggest caution. NYDIG has pointed out that Bitcoin’s current 2025–2026 drawdown mirrors previous four-year cycle corrections observed in 2014, 2018, and 2022

According to their assessment, if the current market decline continues to follow the duration and depth of these past bear markets, Bitcoin could potentially reach a cycle low in the $38,000–$39,000 range later this year. Bitcoin is currently down nearly 50% from its October 2025 all-time high of approximately $126,000.

Rally stalls at $65,000

In the short term, Bitcoin has experienced a recovery, rallying approximately 12% from a sub-$58,000 swing low, a move supported by weekly RSI bullish divergence. However, this upward momentum has recently stalled around the $65,000 level. While some other assets, such as Ethereum and Link, are currently contending with long-term descending resistance levels, analysts note that Bitcoin still has some distance to cover before it encounters similar technical resistance.
