Chart of the day 🚩 Bitcoin down 50% since all-time high

Bitcoin has fallen by nearly 30% over the past month, and the drawdown from the all-time high near $126k has now reached roughly 50%. Does the technical setup justify optimism about a potential rebound? The latest bullish impulse failed to hold, with price facing strong selling pressure around $72,300 after bouncing about 20% from a local low.

  • Sellers quickly regained control, triggering a multi-day consolidation range between $65k and $71k. Over time, that range produced two progressively lower highs, and the consolidation ultimately ended with another bearish leg that dragged BTC back toward the $63k area. As a result, Bitcoin is trading today only about 5% above the recent local low.
  • If the previous downside impulse from October—followed by a weeks-long consolidation—serves as a template, we can assume that the upper boundary of the current corrective move may again align with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. That would imply BTC could still rebound toward roughly $74.3k before reaching a more “decisive” moment.
  • That would represent an upside move of almost 20% from current levels. Looking back to the turn of November and December 2025, we can also see that price twice dipped back toward the correction’s local low (then around $80k). This suggests it is not guaranteed that the current decline must immediately transition into another sustained bearish impulse that could potentially push prices below $60k.

Overall, it seems the consolidation phase may take longer. A potential trigger for another sell-off could be renewed weakness on Wall Street and a resurgence in US dollar strength—although this trend still appears to be at a relatively early and uncertain stage.
