His viewpoint highlights recurring cycle patterns that have characterized past market phases. In earlier years, Bitcoin formed a rounding bottom during 2015\u20132017, an Adam &amp; Eve pattern in 2018\u20132020, and a cup-and-handle formation in 2021\u20132024. Each setup ended with a steep expansion in price.<\/p>\n<p>He linked these expansions to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossing above 70, calling it the \u201c<em>ignition switch.<\/em>\u201d Merlijn wrote,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BITCOIN\u2019S PLAYBOOK NEVER CHANGES<\/p>\n<p>Rounding Bottom.

He pointed to resistance around $114,755 and $116,813, while a stronger supply zone remains at $118,000\u2013$119,500. Clearing that level could lead to a move toward $123,288.<\/p>\n<p>Van de Poppe also mapped an accumulation range lower on the chart, between $100,740\u2013$103,190, where volume previously spiked.

It has acted as support since early 2023, with the market bouncing from it on multiple occasions. Pillows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/1970797460881904121\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">called<\/a> it \u201c<em>the most important trendline for $BTC<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trendline currently runs through the $90,000\u2013$92,000 area. The analyst added that this range also matches an open CME gap, making it an area to watch. His chart suggests that if the price drops by about 20%, it could retest this level before a larger rally.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413934\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413934\" style=\"width: 1022px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ.jpeg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413934\" src=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin (BTC) price chart\" width=\"1022\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ.jpeg 1022w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ-300x240.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ-768x615.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1mt03naQAAvnIQ-50x40.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Ted\/X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-price-slide-triggers-buy-the-dip-mania-but-experts-warn-of-deeper-lows\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">report<\/a> from <em>CryptoPotato<\/em>, citing Santiment data, showed that Binance traders reached their highest level of short exposure in over three months just before Bitcoin\u2019s latest red candle.
