Bitcoin Repeating Previous Breakdown Structure—Is BTC Price Headed Toward $55K Next?

The post Bitcoin Repeating Previous Breakdown Structure—Is BTC Price Headed Toward $55K Next？ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　Bitcoin continues to trade under mounting long-term bearish pressure as the price struggles to reclaim crucial resistance zones after losing a major market structure earlier this year. Although the BTC price managed to trigger a short-term rebound from the recent lows, the broader weekly structure still resembles the previous breakdown pattern that triggered a nearly 25% correction.　　At the same time, concerns are growing across the market after Bitcoin once again moved above the Short-Term Holder Realized Price during an apparent bear-market phase. This setup historically precedes sharp downside moves. With momentum indicators weakening and liquidity inflows fading, traders are increasingly watching whether Bitcoin is preparing for another major leg down toward the $55,000 region.　　BTC Price Analysis: Bitcoin Faces a Rejection From Key Levels　　As seen in the chart above, the BTC price continues to trade within a developing bear flag structure after facing rejection near the $90,000 resistance zone. The recent recovery attempt failed to reclaim the upper resistance trend line, while the price has now slipped back below the mid-range support near $76,000. The structure closely resembles the previous breakdown pattern that

Why Ethereum Is About To Break The Bear Cycle And Rally To $8,000

Ethereums price weakness may be approaching a decisive turning point, according to a new technical analysis comparing the current ETH structure with previous market cycles. The pattern that formed before the 2017 parabolic run and again before the 2020 breakout is now reappearing in 2026, and the long-term chart is showing a structure that could be the start of a phase that pushes its price to as high as $8,000.　　A Cycle That Has Played Out Twice Before　　Ethereum has spent the past several months doing what most of the market has chosen to ignore: building. The leading altcoin has largely underperformed compared to Bitcoin, but the weekly chart is assembling the same structural sequence that preceded two of the biggest rallies in its price history.　　Technical analysis shows that ETH has followed a recognizable four-phase sequence in the previous two cycles: a prolonged downtrend, a compression phase and declining volatility, a breakout from the compression zone, and a vertical rally. In 2017, that cycle produced a gain of approximately 17,581%. The 2020 iteration, beginning from a similar compression structure, produced a rally of about 4,348% during the height of the 2021 bull run.　　The chart now presents a third instance of this structure.
