Why A Bitcoin Price Breakdown To $50,000 Could Be Important For Long-Term Bullishness

Source Newsbtc

A crypto analyst has shared two interesting scenarios she believes that the Bitcoin price could follow, depending on the direction of its next moves. According to the analyst, a price breakdown to new lows near $50,000 could be bullish for BTC, suggesting the cryptocurrency may reverse to the upside after hitting that bottom. On the other hand, she has also shared a bearish thesis which could see the flagship cryptocurrency extending its already prolonged downtrend. 

A Possible Bullish Scenario For The Bitcoin Price

Crypto market analyst Tara has presented a price chart outlining a detailed roadmap for Bitcoin, depending on if it breaks upwards or downwards. At the moment, the cryptocurrency is trading sideways with no clear direction, despite its latest rebound. Tara has described this recent bounce above $71,000 as “noise,” noting that it has done nothing to make the cryptocurrency’s path clearer. 

At the time of her analysis, posted on X, Tara stated that Bitcoin is sitting at a major decision zone, right in the middle of the macro 0.382 Fibonacci resistance at $98,096 and the 0.5 Fibonacci support area at $93,038. For her bullish outlook, the analyst predicts that BTC needs to break the 0.382 resistance level for the cryptocurrency’s mid- or long-term price targets to become more visible.

In her price chart, the analyst outlines an ABC pattern that shows where Bitcoin could move next, along with its upper price targets once the resistance is broken. If the cryptocurrency breaks below the 0.618 support at $69,891 to reach $50,000, Tara forecasts that Bitcoin could eventually gather enough bullish momentum to break past the bearish $93,200 resistance. 

Once this happens, Tara projects that Bitcoin could explode to a new all-time high above its current peak of around $126,000, officially ending its downtrend. Although she has shared an alternative bearish thesis, the analyst notes that the ATH breakout is her preferred and most likely scenario for Bitcoin right now. 

The Alternative Downside Path

Alternatively, Tara warns that if Bitcoin rallies above $90,000 without a meaningful correction, it could set the stage for a sharp price crash. Supporting her bearish outlook, the analyst points to the same ABC pattern on the chart, which outlines a clear downward trajectory for BTC. 

The analyst noted that a breakout to the upside would align with the larger ABC structure, potentially driving Bitcoin toward the upper resistance at $93,200. However, she maintains a strong bearish mid-term outlook, warning that such a move could prolong the ongoing corrective phase. 

According to her projections, the next major downside target lies around $29,000, marking a significant cycle low and representing a drop of over 68% from the previous $93,200 resistance and an approximately 55% decline from its current price above $71,500.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
