\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIs this the push BTC needed for a new run?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Bitcoin led the path south on Saturday with another violent crash that drove it to a seven-month low of just over $75,000, which meant that it had lost $20,000 in less than two weeks.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the asset closed<\/a> January with a 10% decline, becoming the fourth consecutive month to end in the red \u2013 something that more aligned with bear market performances.<\/p>\n Now, though, analysts are rushing to offer their views on the matter, and Merlijn The Trader believes there\u2019s a silver lining in the multi-billion-dollar wipeout that occurred on Saturday.<\/p>\n EVERY MAJOR BITCOIN RALLY BEGINS THE SAME WAY:<\/p>\n Brutal flush. That\u2019s when smart money steps in.<\/p>\n Pain builds the launchpad.<\/p>\n Bitcoin is following the script again. pic.twitter.com\/fYa0GQLY73<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) January 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The popular analyst outlined BTC\u2019s different nature from other asset classes, reminding of its intense volatility. He explained that every major bitcoin rally has begun in a similar manner \u2013 a brutal flush that was succeeded by a broken confidence, and quiet accumulation.<\/p>\n The flush took place (again) yesterday, when BTC crashed and took down the rest of the market with it. The confidence is definitely broken, which is evident from the Fear and Greed Index, showing \u2018extreme fear.\u2019 Recent reports claimed<\/a> that whales have begun reaccumulating the asset.<\/p>\n He added that \u201cpain builds the launchpad,\u201d and noted that BTC is now following the aforementioned script again. In a separate post, the analyst outlined the significance of the $78,000 level, which could determine the next short-term big move \u2013 either a \u201chealthy correction,\u201d or a deeper sell-off toward the recent low.<\/p>\n BITCOIN HAS ONE LEVEL THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW:<\/p>\n $78,000<\/p>\n This is the line between: No emotion. Just price action deciding the next move. pic.twitter.com\/PjGORIBtN7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) January 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
