A recent post by crypto analyst Stockmoney Lizards on X suggests that the current Bitcoin structure is giving bears \u201cthe perfect opportunity\u201d to short the market down to $40,000. His message was paired with a chart showing Bitcoin falling below an important resistance ever since it broke below $100,000, creating what appears to be a clean continuation setup for traders expecting<\/a> deeper losses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, although the chart highlights a similar bearish structure in 2022, the analysis behind his post points to a more layered interpretation of what may come next for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

The Setup Bears Believe Is Finally Here<\/h2>\n

In the chart he shared, Stockmoney Lizards showed how<\/a> Bitcoin\u2019s latest breakdown resembles the 2022 pattern, when the price action rejected a major resistance level and fell sharply into what later became a large accumulation zone.\u00a0 The current structure shows a similar rejection just above the $100,000 zone, followed by a drop below the weekly EMA50. This move has brought Bitcoin into a region that is similar to the range where accumulation formed in the earlier cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An overlay of the new price action on top of the previous one shows the path downward seems almost predetermined, creating the impression that the Bitcoin price is setting up a natural decline to as low as $40,000 in the coming weeks and months. Bitcoin is currently trading at $90,240. A crash to $40,000 would mean wiping out<\/a> roughly 55% of its value from here, effectively erasing the entire progress it has built over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n

Why The Perfect Short Is Not The Analyst\u2019s Real Message<\/h2>\n

After the post gained traction, Stockmoney Lizards stepped in to clarify<\/a> that his message had been taken too literally. His invitation for traders to short down to $40,000 was intentionally exaggerated, and the market does not behave this way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He clarified that he does not foresee a collapse into a deep bear market. Instead, he believes Bitcoin may consolidate<\/a>, possibly sweep local lows, but not have a prolonged breakdown. Furthermore, he noted that the worst-case scenario would be a touch of the weekly EMA200, and this is not a place where bull markets end. The real midterm prediction is a higher move for the Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n

Before posting the supposedly bearish prediction, Stockmoney Lizards had shared another analysis <\/a>describing Bitcoin as being close to the endboss at the weekly EMA50 indicator.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

That earlier chart offered a clearer view of his actual stance. In it, he predicted that Bitcoin was approaching a major technical pivot and that he expected upward movement <\/a>into the end of December and Q1 2025. Therefore, the weekly EMA50 is the barrier that Bitcoin needs to reclaim in order to launch its next phase of bullish momentum.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
