Bitcoin is once again under heavy pressure, and traders are starting to talk about much lower levels ahead. After losing key support zones, BTC is now trading below $80,000 and market sentiment has turned sharply risk-off.
Many analysts believe Bitcoin is copying the same structure seen in previous bear markets.
BTC Stuck Below $80K After Sharp Drop
Bitcoin dropped more than 6% in the last session, pushing price down near $77,600 and keeping it at ten-month lows.
So far, bulls have failed to recover important levels, and BTC remains weak below the $80,000 mark.
The loss of major bull market support zones, including the true market mean around $80,700, has increased bearish expectations.
Traders Now Watching Sub-$50K Targets
Some traders are already pointing to deeper downside liquidity zones.
One forecast highlighted $74,400 as the next major level, while also naming $49,180 as a possible larger bear market target if the decline continues.
This shows how quickly sentiment has shifted after support failed.
Loss of the 21-Week EMA Signals Bear Market Risk
A key warning sign is Bitcoin breaking below the 21-week exponential moving average.
Historically, losing this level has often preceded major bear market phases.
Rekt Capital also noted that the current move is repeating past cycles. Since the latest EMA crossover, Bitcoin has already fallen around 17%, dropping from $90,000 to $78,000.
This same crossover pattern last appeared in April 2022 before a prolonged bear market decline.
CME Gap Near $84K Could Offer Short-Term Bounce
Despite the bearish structure, some traders are watching a CME futures gap near $84,000.
CME gaps often act like short-term price magnets, and BTC could attempt a rebound toward that zone in the coming weeks.
However, that would likely be temporary relief unless major support is reclaimed.
On-Chain Data Warns of an Extended Bearish Phase
CryptoQuant’s latest research also remains risk-off.
Bitcoin is now trading below the realized price of investors holding BTC for 12–18 months. Realized price represents the average cost basis where coins last moved.
Historically, when BTC breaks below this level and stays there, markets often shift from normal corrections into structural bearish regimes.
CryptoQuant noted that realized price is now acting as overhead resistance, meaning rallies may fail as holders sell at breakeven.
The combination of price below realized cost, negative profitability, and slowing growth has aligned with extended bearish phases in past cycles.
Bitcoin is losing key support, technical levels are breaking, and on-chain structure is weakening.
While a short-term bounce toward $84K is possible, the broader trend is still bearish, and analysts are now discussing deeper downside levels even sub-$50K scenarios if history continues to repeat.
Stay cautious. Manage risk.
