If $BTC follows a similar bottoming structure to the previous cycle, we may still be stuck inside a prolonged chop zone.

The blue box represents the area where price could continue ranging, frustrating both longs and shorts before the next major move.

The good news: we’re getting closer to the mid-term turning point.

The bad news: patience may still be required, as sideways and volatile conditions could continue before BTC finds a clear direction.

Until we see a decisive breakout or breakdown, expect more market noise and liquidity hunts.
