Bitcoin has experienced a 30% decline, aligning with a long-term trendline that mirrors the 2021 cycle in reverse, according to analyst Merlijn The Trader. This drop comes amid a market structure that resembles the 2021 setup but with heightened fear. Bitcoin's dominance has surged to 59%, the highest since 2021, indicating a possible shift of capital towards altcoins. In a notable development, the ETH/BTC pair has broken its long-term downward trend, highlighting Ethereum's relative strength and suggesting potential momentum for altcoins. Merlijn pointed out that the current pattern shows Bitcoin's price pulling back into support rather than rising into pressure, with technical indicators suggesting stabilization. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin's historical timing could indicate a potential rebound from current levels.
