In his latest BTC price outlook on X, he<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tryrexcrypto\/status\/2011946419662569670?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> compares<\/a> the current market structure to the April 2022 cycle, when Bitcoin made an ATH and then crashed hard for weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tyrex disclosed that Bitcoin dropped roughly 45% from its all-time high in 2022 before entering an extended consolidation phase that lasted nearly four months. The accompanying chart shows that during that period, prices respected clear horizontal boundaries, creating a false sense of strength and stability, all while <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/why-bitcoins-current-weakness-structural-emotional\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">underlying weakness<\/a> continued to build.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-876290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a_d0d344.png?resize=1024%2C375\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"375\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That consolidation eventually led to an upside fakeout, with the Bitcoin price briefly breaking resistance before reversing sharply. Unfortunately, the rejection triggered a continuation of the broader downtrend that year, resulting in another aggressive price crash that wiped out remaining bullish confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Tyrex, BTC\u2019s current chart structure closely mirrors the same <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-bear-2021-2022-weak-structure-resurfaces\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">historical setup from 2022<\/a>. Bitcoin has once again pulled back sharply after reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-price-crossing-126000-options-market\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">an all-time high of over $126,000<\/a>. Additionally, the cryptocurrency has spent roughly two months consolidating within a defined range, repeatedly stalling at resistance levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tyrex warns that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-holds-near-95000-as-u-s-policy-delays-test\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin is barely holding above $95,000<\/a>, which aligns with the resistance zone shown on the chart. If price fails to recover and continues to stall near this level, the move higher could turn out to be a fakeout, potentially leading to another sharp dump\u2014 just as it did in 2022. The red-shaded area on the chart shows how far BTC could crash if the uptrend breaks, with the analyst projecting an 11.04% drop to the $86,000-$84,000 range.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/SGfZqazC\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"909\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bitcoin Set For March ATH And May Flash Crash<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Another forecast from market expert CryptoXLarge<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryptoxlarg\/status\/2011452794591666347?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> outlines<\/a> where Bitcoin could be headed over the next four months. The analyst bases the outlook on historical market behavior, suggesting the current cycle may be replicating past cycle peaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CryptoXLarge points to January 2026 as a phase of quiet accumulation with controlled price action and muted volatility. February is expected to bring a powerful rally as momentum builds rapidly and buyers push the BTC price higher. This surge could set the stage for Bitcoin to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-price-reaching-200000\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reach a new all-time high<\/a> around $240,000 in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After this projected peak, April will likely be a bull trap where the price appears strong but fails to sustain upward momentum. The forecast concludes with a warning of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/why-did-bitcoin-flash-crash-to-110700-yesterday\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a flash crash<\/a> in May 2026, during which prices could pull back to fresh lows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-876291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b_077996.png?resize=1024%2C363\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"363\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A warning signal is flashing on the charts, with market analysts predicting that the Bitcoin price could collapse again soon.
