Cryptocurrency expert Benjamin Cowen has shared his thoughts on the potential end of Bitcoin’s (BTC) bull run, cautioning that a key price level could signal the shift.
Cowen discussed how Bitcoin’s current movement could mirror patterns seen in 2017, particularly when the price tested the previous year’s peak.
However, he emphasized that if Bitcoin drops below $71,000 and enters the $60,000 range, the current bull cycle might be coming to an end.
Cowen explained that in 2017, Bitcoin experienced a significant drop early in the year, revisiting the high from the previous year. He suggested that this scenario could repeat, with Bitcoin testing the 2024 high of around $70,000.
Should the price dip into the $60,000s, especially if there’s a wick down to those levels, it would likely signal the end of the bull market.
However, if Bitcoin stays above the $70,000 mark, Cowen believes the bull cycle could continue.
He further noted that if Bitcoin holds steady above the $70,000 to $73,000 range, the market’s structure would remain intact. On the other hand, a dip into the $60,000 range could lead to a bearish trend, possibly forming a lower high around Q2 or Q3, with a potential turnaround by August.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has revealed that the company has acquired an additional 21,021 Bitcoin for approximately $2.46 billion, paying an average price of $117,256 per BTC.
As Bitcoin continues to consolidate above $100K, a critical market signal is flashing: BTC funding rates remain elevated, even as price action cools.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has suggested that a balanced investment portfolio should include up to 15% allocation to gold or Bitcoin, though he remains personally more inclined toward the traditional asset.
With Bitcoin hovering near $119,000, traders are weighing their next move carefully. The question dominating the market now is simple: Buy the dip or wait for a cleaner setup?
