A crypto analyst has suggested that Bitcoin may be transitioning from a bear trap and gearing up for significant gains.
Recently, Bitcoin’s price has approached $62,000 following a sharp drop, which some experts are calling a major bear trap.
So, that was a shake-out or a Bear trap ? pic.twitter.com/ezTFDIiabI

On August 8, analyst ‘Sensei’ questioned if this decline was a temporary shakeout designed to push out weak investors or if it indicated a genuine bear market.
Sensei believes the bear trap may be ending soon, pointing to a possible shift in market sentiment. Bitcoin had recently fallen below $50,000, dropping over 20% due to extensive market liquidations.
Michael van de Poppe also weighed in, suggesting that the recent price correction might signal the end of the bear trap, potentially leading to significant market recovery. He highlighted that this downturn could have led to a substantial $1.2 billion in losses from leveraged trades.
Despite recent volatility, Sensei remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. He forecasts a strong bull run could start as early as next week and projects that Bitcoin could rise to $72,000 based on current market trends.
Bitcoin is once again mirroring global liquidity trends—and that could have major implications in the days ahead.
The crypto market is showing signs of cautious optimism. While prices remain elevated, sentiment indicators and trading activity suggest investors are stepping back to reassess risks rather than diving in further.
Citigroup analysts say the key to Bitcoin’s future isn’t mining cycles or halving math—it’s ETF inflows.
Bitcoin may be entering a typical summer correction phase, according to a July 25 report by crypto financial services firm Matrixport.
