Bitcoin may be building a fundamentally different cycle this time — one that could mute the kind of brutal selloff seen in 2022 — according to a pair of recent technical takes from popular X analysts.
Pseudonymous chartist DorkChicken argued on March 14 that the current bull market is forming on stronger, more layered support than the structure that preceded the 2022 crash. Using a two‑week chart, the analyst highlighted several multi-cycle consolidation zones: one left over after the 2018 top, another from the 2021 bull run, and a nascent range emerging now in the 2024–2026 price area. The implication: instead of blasting higher and leaving “open air” beneath price, Bitcoin has been carving out ranges that could act as cushions if and when a correction arrives.
DorkChicken contrasted that with 2022, when BTC’s drop below about $30,000 left “very little historical support” under price — effectively open air — and helped pave the way for a deeper plunge. By comparison, the current step‑by‑step build of support zones suggests any future pullbacks might find buyers earlier and, potentially, be less severe.
Those structural signals come as Bitcoin has recovered back above $70,000 and is showing fresh bullish momentum. Another X analyst, Investor Jordan, says a short‑term breakout may have already marked the end of the latest bearish pressure. According to his four‑hour chart review, BTC cleared a key short‑term support near $74,000 that had been propping up the range, and broke out of a Bull Flag formation to the upside.
Investor Jordan lays out two near‑term upside targets: first the unfilled CME gap around $81,500–$83,000, then a run toward the important BMSB level just above $84,000. (CME gaps are often watched by traders because price historically sometimes retests them; BMSB refers to a pivotal structure level traders use to confirm trend shifts.)
Bottom line: technicals from these analysts paint a more resilient market structure than the one that preceded 2022’s collapse, and short‑term patterns point toward further upside. As always, technical setups are probabilistic — not guarantees — and market dynamics can change quickly, so risk management remains essential for traders and investors.
