  • Crypto expert spots a super critical moment on the Bitcoin price chart.

  • The price of BTC shows the possibility of reclaiming higher prices again.

  • The analyst expects BTC to reclaim 6-digit prices.

The new week and the final week of the first month of 2026 seem to have begun in a bearish move. Presently, the price of BTC is trading in the $87,000 price range, showing a drop in BTC prices by over 5% in the past 7 days. Amidst the continuous decline in prices, a crypto expert spots a super critical moment on the Bitcoin (BTC) price chart. Where will the price of BTC climb to next?

Crypto Expert Spots a Super Critical Moment on the Bitcoin Price Chart

The pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), has been highly debated over since it set its latest ATH price in the $126,000 price range in October 2025. Soon after this ATH record was set, the crypto market witnessed a sudden $20 billion liquidation event that wiped out all leverages and long trade positions. It even liquidated $3 billion in short positions. The event saw many altcoins drop by 90%.

In the aftermath, altcoin companies like Kadena filed for bankruptcy. So brutal was this dip that it was henceforth known as 10/10, the greatest liquidation event in crypto history. Since then, analysts have been split over what to expect next for the crypto market: a correction phase before a continued rally opening a path to new and higher ATH targets, or the start of the bear market?

At the moment, bearish analysts are calling for a continued fall in the price of BTC. According to them, the price of BTC will continue to decline until it hits the $70,000 price range by the second half of this year. What’s more, they believe this drop in price to be just the beginning of the bear market phase. Some even expect the price of BTC to drop to the $50,000 – $60,000 price range.

Where Will the Price of BTC Swerve Next?

On the other hand, bullish analysts believe BTC has the potential to hit much higher ATH targets before the bear market phase can arrive. This means that the first half of 2026 could lead to a massive surge in prices that can take the price of BTC to new ATH prices between $130,000 to $150,000, if not higher. This expectation comes from analysts and experts who believe a 5-year supercycle is playing out.
