Bitcoin is also facing renewed concerns of a potential historic downturn, and market participants appear to be bracing for a deeper correction across risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>The latest warning comes as the asset continues to show signs of weakness after having declined over the weekend and slipping below $68,000 on Monday.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"risks-of-historic-crash\">Risks of Historic Crash<\/h2>\n<p>Popular analyst Doctor Profit <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DrProfitCrypto\/status\/2035883333389856868\" target=\"_blank\">predicted<\/a> that Bitcoin could suffer a crash worse than that of the March 12-13, 2020 \u2018Black Thursday,\u2019 when the crypto asset <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-ends-the-week-touching-7700-almost-fully-recovered-from-the-covid19-crash-the-weekly-market-update\/\">plunged<\/a> by more than 50% in a single day from around $8,000 to nearly $3,750 amid a broader global market sell-off triggered by COVID-19 panic.<\/p>\n<p>Ongoing price action also reflects similar pressure, as Bitcoin trades more than 46% below its all-time high recorded last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPrepare for a historic CRASH. Much worse than COVID crash. Stocks, BTC, all of assets. You have been warned\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The forecast comes a few hours after his Sunday report, wherein Doctor Profit <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/the-fastest-bitcoin-btc-crash-is-over-but-the-worst-is-yet-to-come\/\">reiterated<\/a> his previous stance that BTC\u2019s price action remains stuck in a broader bearish trajectory.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"deeper-trouble-ahead\">Deeper Trouble Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DrProfitCrypto\/status\/2035883333389856868\" target=\"_blank\">explained<\/a> that the asset has been consolidating between the range of $57,000 and $87,000 after its earlier decline from the $115,000-$125,000 region to $60,000. Within this structure, the recent move to $76,000 followed by a sharp drop below $68,000 was identified as a bullish trap ahead of further downside. The analyst flagged the $79,000-$84,000 zone as a major resistance and liquidity area where additional short positions could be deployed.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Bitcoin lacks clear directional strength in the near term, which has contributed to ongoing sideways movement, but the broader structure continues to point toward another leg lower, which could see a move back toward the $57,000-$60,000 range. Short-term upward movements are seen as liquidity-driven attempts to push prices higher before continuation to the downside.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>While he did not rule out temporary upward price movements, these are treated as opportunities to increase bearish exposure rather than signs of trend reversal.<\/p>\n<p>Doctor Profit said that macro conditions such as delayed expectations for interest rate cuts, rising inflation indicators, and increasing liquidity stress are crucial factors driving the risk-off environment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>Binance Free $600 (CryptoPotato Exclusive): <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600f\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register a new account and receive $600 exclusive welcome offer on Binance<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600d\/\">full details<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/worse-than-covid-why-one-analyst-believes-bitcoin-is-on-the-verge-of-a-historic-crash\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; A popular analyst has flagged Bitcoin&#8217;s rebound last week as a bull trap and warned that a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20506,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
