According to an X post by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin
(BTC) is witnessing a decline in sell-side pressure, indicating
that a local market bottom may soon form for the premier
cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Local Bottom On The Horizon? Bitcoin
continues to trade just below the psychologically significant
$100,000 level, hovering at $98,650 at the time of writing.
However, the top cryptocurrency by market capitalization is
witnessing a notable drop in sell-side pressure. Related Reading:

Stocks – Details Martinez shared the following Bitcoin Sell-Side
Risk Ratio chart from crypto analytics platform Glassnode,
highlighting a sharp decline in the metric since mid-January 2025.
This drop suggests that BTC may be forming a local price bottom,
potentially leading to a new accumulation phase. For those
unfamiliar, a declining sell-side risk ratio typically indicates
that investors are holding onto their BTC rather than selling,
signalling the early stages of an accumulation phase where prices
may stabilize or begin to rise. Martinez’s analysis aligns with
broader crypto market cycle theories, which suggest that market
bottoms are often followed by an accumulation phase. This phase, in
turn, paves the way for a potential price increase. However, BTC
must hold above key support levels to confirm this outlook. Crypto
analyst Rekt Capital weighed in on Bitcoin’s price action,
emphasizing the importance of a weekly close above $97,000 to
maintain its higher low as support. The analyst shared a Bitcoin
weekly chart, noting that while BTC has seen multiple wicks below
its symmetrical triangle structure, the overall bullish pattern
remains intact. However, failure to close above $97,000 on the
weekly timeframe could increase the risk of further downside.
Similarly, fellow analyst Daan Crypto Trades shared a bullish
perspective, pointing out that BTC recently had a “solid break”
from a descending channel structure. The analyst added: Just need
to see the continuation now into the weekend to get a good base
going into next week. $98K is key in the short term. Is BTC Primed
For A New All-Time High? While Martinez suggests that BTC may be
forming a local bottom, other analysts believe the cryptocurrency
is gearing up for a move beyond $108,000, potentially reaching a
new all-time high (ATH). Analyst Kevin, for instance, predicts that
a short squeeze could propel BTC to $111,000. Related Reading:
