Bitcoin Showing Dangerous Weakness — Years of Pressure AheadBitcoin / U.S. dollarBITSTAMP:BTCUSDTheOnePctFirst of all, since BTC broke the 73k support zone, as I explained previously, this changes the higher-timeframe interpretation significantly. That break confirms the structural weakness that had already been developing in the market. It strongly suggests that the entire rally from (Nov 2022 → Oct 2025) was actually a B-wave of a Flat correction that began in April 2021. In hindsight, this was always the more structurally consistent interpretation, even though I initially leaned toward a different count. Another important characteristic supporting the Flat interpretation is the speed of the declines we are seeing now. In Flat corrections, the C-wave tends to move aggressively with strong downside momentum, and the recent drops reflect exactly that kind of behavior. With that in mind, BTC should now be in Wave C of that Flat, and the structure currently developing appears to be terminal in nature. A terminal is still classified as a motive wave, but unlike a classic impulse it is corrective in its internal behavior. Looking at the internal behavior of the decline: • The speed and timing of the most recent downward leg suggest that Wave 1 has likely not bottomed yet. • There is also a noticeable time similarity between the internal legs, which raises the probability that Wave 1 is forming a Diametric pattern. Under this interpretation: • We are likely progressing through Wave F of the Diametric. • Because there is HTF demand below, Wave F may expand slightly in time, which means the current daily sideways movement could become more complex than expected with higher upward target but not much is expected (aside from liquidating early shorts). However, once Wave F completes: → Wave G should produce the thrust lower, with a projected target in the ~55k region. From a bigger picture perspective, this Wave C terminal structure could last well over a year (More not less!), which would disrupt the typical BTC cycle expectations many market participants rely on. BTC has already shown clear structural weakness, and that weakness is likely to continue hunting the market for quite some time. Even putting aside everything happening globally — wars, geopolitical conflicts, and macro uncertainty — the internal structure itself suggests that this C-wave still has the potential to push BTC into deeper corrective territory. Because of this, the market may remain in a bearish environment for longer than most expect. Eventually, once Wave 1 of C completes, we should see Wave 2, which could produce a large relief rally potentially back toward the 85k area. But for now, it is still too early to determine the exact extent of that move.
