BTC Confirms Bearish Divergence Signaling Rough Times for Bitcoin and Altcoin Prices

• BTC confirms bearish divergence signaling rough times for crypto.

• Both Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins are all expected to crash significantly.

• Very small signs for bullish outcomes shine through.

The price of BTC failed to maintain its price above the critical $76,000 price range, leading to ETH and altcoin prices also dipping towards lower price levels. Analysts grow more sure that the crypto market is heading into a heavily bearish trend. The most glaring sign arrived today in the fact that BTC confirms bearish divergence signaling rough times for Bitcoin and altcoin prices over the coming months.

BTC Confirms Bearish Divergence Signaling Rough Times

For months, bearish analysts have been calling for the crypto market bottom, expecting the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to dip as far as the $40,000 price range before the next bull cycle can begin. This was directly in contrast to the many bullish calls expecting a short crypto winter before a bullish reversal could take off. Now, even bullish analysts are preparing for a big significant price dip before surges could be a possibility.

BTC just confirmed the bearish divergence I have been waiting for, and for me that changes the whole map. With BTC now joining the TOTALES warning, I am no longer looking at this as a normal pullback. I think the market is setting up for a much deeper move over the next two… pic.twitter.com/nLB9ps3jtH

As we can see from the post above, this popular crypto trader says that BTC just confirmed the bearish divergence he has been waiting for, this changes what his next moves in the market will be. He says that now with BTC now joining the TOTALES warning, he is no longer looking at this as a normal pullback. Instead, he thinks the market is setting up for a much deeper move over the next two months.

Thus, the expert concludes that this is why he is treating any short-term bounce as noise unless price can reclaim key levels with real strength. For instance, he highlight for ETH is starting to crack in the same way. While it has not printed the same daily divergence as BTC yet, its structure is weakening, as its RSI broke support, and the asset’s price continues to lose the fast line.

What’s more, stablecoin dominance keeps pressing higher, TOTALES has already rolled over, and that combination still points to broad market weakness instead of a healthy reset. In addition, TradFi does not seem to be helping the bulls either, and DXY looks ready for another push higher, as USDJPY is back in the danger zone. Furthermore, if Japan is forced into another intervention cycle, the Nikkei, U.S. equities, and crypto could all get hit together again.

Bitcoin and Altcoin Prices Could Drop Significantly

The expert concludes by saying that at this time, WTI looks overextended after filling its gap, while gold and silver are still chopping without giving any strong risk-on signal. As of now, the expert says he is leaning toward bearish setups over heroic longs and that XRP, QNT, ICP, NEAR, TRUMP, DCR, RENDER, ATOM, CHZ, and MORPHO all still look vulnerable if this broader risk-off move keeps building. While a few assets like DOGE and SKY could still bounce, it may not be a big rally.
