It’s not a secret that Bitcoin hasn’t done well over the past few days and weeks; since the weekend’s $9,200 peak, the cryptocurrency has lost nearly 18%, and since the $10,600 peak in February, BTC has shed over 25%. In the process of this brutal move, hundreds of millions worth of leveraged positions have been liquidated.
Yaremchuk now predicts that Bitcoin may actually be bottoming, writing in a tweet published just an hour ago as of the time of this article’s writing that the cryptocurrency is potentially forming a textbook bottom as defined by the studies of Richard Wyckoff, a historic technical analysis expert.
The cryptocurrency following the textbook scenario will see it move sideways here, briefly dip to establish a new low around $7,500, then rally to break out of the accumulation range at $8,200.

This is important as a similar Wyckoff Accumulation pattern was found at the bottom in December and at the start of January. While this pattern isn’t of the same size (meaning across the same time frame), BTC completing this pattern may set the stage for a stronger surge towards $8,500.
Furthermore, with a harrowing macro outlook and Bitcoin seemingly becoming correlated with the stock market, some have been wondering if BTC could enter back into a bear market. One analyst, in fact, warned of a potential return to $4,000.
Despite these fears, many are staying optimistic. In fact, the trader who called the return to $7,500 when investors were by and large expecting a further rally above $10,000 recently floated the scenario that BTC is in the midst of bottoming.Related Reading: Top Macro Analyst Explains Why Bitcoin Has Crashed 17% Since $9,200
