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.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
