According to the analyst, after finding support at this level, “unless $38,700 can be reached, a pullback to $38,000 is just a bearish retest.”

Therefore, only a move lower could push the price further lower, with the chart above showing the bulls struggling below $36,781.

“There are chances for the price to drop below $36,700 and slide off the bottom of the range after breaking the top of the range on Feb 1.”

According to Decodejar, this is a popular chart used by analysts that “shows a bearish ABC-4 wave that extends flat and ends below last year’s low.”

Despite being a popular pattern, Decodejar noted that “there isn’t much volume to build momentum” and that “BTC is not going to break last year’s low.”

decoding to speak:

“In short, the correction is almost complete at these levels, although the market needs more time. I don’t see a bear market, in fact I’m sick of hearing about it. I see a consolidation of a fully intact bull market.”

The total crypto market cap currently stands at $1,782 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance is 39.3%.
