He described the recent move as a good example of why waiting for candle closes actually matters. However, he warned that the recovery now needs to continue, which it hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst said BTC must reclaim at least $84,000 in the coming trading days, as remaining and consolidating below it could leave the asset vulnerable to another gradual move south. A successful recovery above $84,000, though, would instead put the untapped highs around $87,000-$88,000 back in focus.<\/p>\n<p>This aligns with BTC\u2019s recent price moves, as the asset has repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-btc-october-struggles-continue-as-buying-pressure-starts-to-cool\/\">struggled<\/a> around the $84,000 area after tumbling toward $80,000. Weakening buyer pressure has intensified uncertainty around the recovery attempt, and the macro landscape dealt another blow earlier this week with a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-plunges-as-september-cpi-comes-out-higher-than-expected\/\">higher-than-expected<\/a> September CPI reading.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, fellow analyst EGRAG CRYPTO <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/egragcrypto\/status\/2111027859305246811\">noted<\/a> that investors should not necessarily interpret another substantial correction as the end of the bull market. Using a 2023 fractal, he added that BTC previously experienced a 22% pullback before its next major expansion wave. Applying similar math to the current numbers would mean a drop to $68,000.<\/p>\n<p>EGRAG identified $84,800 as the 0.5 Fibonacci \u201cbattlefield\u201d and $68,000 as a possible shakeout zone before a potential move toward $114,000-$125,000, provided the broader structure remains intact.<\/p>\n<h2>Buying Opportunity?<\/h2>\n<p>CryptoGoos <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptogoos\/status\/2111015817831968956\">offered<\/a> a different way of assessing the current market structure through BTC\u2019s supply in profit. His strategy is to accumulate when the percentage falls toward what he considers a historically important support line, before gradually taking profits once the metric exceeds 80%.<\/p>\n<p>The analyst expects multiple local tops during the current cycle rather than one clean vertical move. Other recent BTC indicators have also painted a mixed picture. For instance, bitcoin has remained above its 50-week moving average for several consecutive weeks, which some analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-bull-market-signal-emerges-even-as-btc-struggles-to-break-84k\/\">view as evidence<\/a> that the broader recovery is intact.<\/p>\n<p>However, it has repeatedly failed to break through the $86,000-$89,000 resistance region, while more than $1 billion in profits were recently <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-sees-second-biggest-profit-taking-day-of-2026-after-climbing-past-87k\/\">realized<\/a> after it last climbed above $87,000.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-road-to-125k-could-include-a-brutal-drop-to-68k-analyst\/\">Bitcoin\u2019s Road to $125K Could Include a Brutal Drop to $68K: Analyst<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although bitcoin rebounded from the dip below $80,000 and now sits two grand higher, the risk of another deep correction has not been completely eliminated.
