Analysts Sound Alarms as Bitcoin Charts Flirt With Disaster

Amid a tug-of-war game in the wider cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (BTC)’s price action is entering a critical phase, and multiple analysts are pointing to a cluster of significant technical signals, some bullish, some deeply concerning.

Indeed, recent chart analyses suggest a brewing battle between key support on the weekly trend and increasingly bearish patterns emerging across dominance and daily price structure, starting with perhaps the most alarming structure: a fully developing head-and-shoulders pattern on Bitcoin’s daily chart.

Bitcoin May Be Forming a Head-and-Shoulders Pattern

Specifically, popular crypto trading expert Ali Martinez has observed this pattern, in which a move up toward $112,000 could complete the right shoulder, after which the price would likely revisit the $100,000, and a breakdown below that support projects a target near $83,000, per his X post on November 13.

BTC Dominance Charts Turn Sharply Bearish

Furthermore, two separate analyses by fellow crypto analyst Matthew Hyland reveal substantial weakness in Bitcoin’s market cap dominance. First, he pointed to a head-and-shoulders pattern forming on BTC dominance’s daily chart, mirroring the bearish structure appearing on Bitcoin’s own price chart.

This was shortly after he commented that dominance looked “very bearish,” signaling accelerating momentum loss. A break lower in dominance historically precedes phases where capital rotates into altcoins, often during periods when Bitcoin ranges or weakens.

Bitcoin Needs to Reclaim $108K – $110K to Turn Bullish

Amid the bearish pressure, Michaël van de Poppe highlighted a key invalidation level for downside scenarios. Notably, Bitcoin continues to range, and the analyst has noted that it must reclaim $108,000 – $110,000 before the market can expect a new all-time high (ATH). Until it reclaims this zone, BTC remains stuck in consolidation, with neither bulls nor bears gaining decisive control.

Macro Support Still Intact: Bulls Defend the 50-Week MA Cluster

Meanwhile, CryptoJelleNL provided a counterbalance to the bearish narrative. His chart shows Bitcoin holding firm above the 50-week moving average (MA) cluster, a critical long-term support zone that has historically marked major continuation levels during bull trends. As the expert noted, buyers consistently step in at this level, reinforcing its importance as Bitcoin’s last line of defense before a deeper macro correction.

Currently, the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset is changing hands at the price of $102,903.30, down 1.66% on the day, having gained 0.16% over the week, and losing 7.5% during the past month, according to the most recent chart information.

All things considered, Bitcoin’s technical landscape is divided, with the maiden crypto asset sitting at a pivotal moment, where losing the $100K neckline could lead to a drop to $83K, but reclaiming $110K would possibly pave the way to new ATHs.
