This is not a sign of weakness but rather a natural and often necessary stage in any market cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>A Necessary Foundation For The Next Move<\/h2>\n<p>In an X <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/uniswap_gem\/status\/1970212859247251870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a>, a dedicated crypto enthusiast, Uniswap Gems, provided a clear-eyed view of Bitcoin&#8217;s current price action, stating that the market is in a predictable phase of intraday chop after a period of extreme volatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Uniswap Gems noted that the recent huge, volatile move caught many traders off guard. As a result, the market is now in a period of consolidation. This chop is a sideways price movement within a tight range, which is often needed to establish a solid bottom after a sharp price swing. He cautions that this phase could last for the next 2 to 3 days, making it a difficult environment for those looking for quick directional trades.<\/p>\n<p>For a bullish trend to resume, BTC needs to flip $113,000 into a support level. If this happens, it could set the stage for a retest of the $115,000 range. However, if BTC fails to hold its current levels and makes new local lows, Uniswap Gems expects a more significant drop all the way down to sub $105,000, which would be a decisive move to the downside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-826134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Uniswap-Gems.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C260\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"260\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Analyst Philakone, a crypto investor and day trader, has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PhilakoneCrypto\/status\/1970198780424139195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">issued<\/a> a stark reminder about the inherent volatility of BTC and historical price action in bear markets. His analysis focuses on the severe drawdowns that have consistently followed previous all-time highs.<\/p>\n<p>According to Philakone, BTC price has a historical tendency to drop between 75% to 85% from its peak during a bear market. This is a crucial point that he believes many people struggle to grasp, especially after a prolonged bull run. However, if BTC&#8217;s all-time high for the current cycle reaches $125,000, a 75% drop would bring the price down to a mere $30,000.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Still Fragile Despite Heavy Liquidations<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto trader known as KillaXBT has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KillaXBT\/status\/1970215974814302711\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">adopted<\/a> a highly cautious stance on the BTC market. For the first time in a while, the expert is fading this BTC dip despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-massive-political-news-tuesday-porter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">massive<\/a> liquidation event of 1.5 billion. His decision is based on a technical analysis of a key market indicator of the USDT dominance chart.<\/p>\n<p>KillaXBT explains that the USDT.D (Tether Dominance) chart is showing concerning signals. If it breaks above its Equal Highs (EQHs), it could lead to a bigger drop in price. Due to this analysis, he has decided not to open any position in the market and is not looking for either long or short trades.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/cK6dTYFp\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1552\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a period of intense volatility and a significant price movement, Bitcoin&#8217;s market is now experiencing a predictable consolidation phase, characterized by what traders call intraday chop.
