A potential final sell-off in Bitcoin is back in focus after market analyst 
Aaron Dishner warned that the asset appears structurally close to 
capitulation. Based on cycle timing, historical drawdowns, and converging 
technical signals, he argues the market may be nearing its last downside move 
before a longer-term bottom forms. He urges investors to brace for volatility 
as this “bottom year” unfolds. Bitcoin’s Past Fractal Points To One More Flush 
Dishner’s framework centers on a structural comparison to May 2022. On the 
weekly BTC/USDT chart, he outlines a sequence mirroring prior bear market 
endings: a major high, a liquidation-driven drop, a failed relief rally 
forming a bear flag, and a breakdown into new lows. After that breakdown, the 
price typically moves sideways before a final aggressive sell-off. Related

Above $3,000 Again? He projects a downside target around $35,000–$40,000, 
aligning with historical drawdowns of 70% to 75% from all-time highs. Previous 
cycles support this range: the 2013–2015 decline lasted about 59 weeks with an 
87% drawdown; the 2017–2018 cycle spanned roughly a year with an 84% decline; 
and the 2021–2022 bear phase retraced around 77% over 54 weeks. Based on this 
pattern, he expects the current cycle to extend at least 52 weeks from its 
peak, placing a potential bottom near October 2026. Moreover, weekly RSI has 
reached deeply oversold territory, levels historically associated with 
capitulation events such as late 2018 and the COVID crash. While not at the 
most extreme historical lows, RSI is within the zone that previously preceded 
large downside wicks and sharp sell-offs. Volume metrics also show 
deterioration. On-balance volume across major exchanges reflects persistent 
distribution, resembling conditions seen before prior cycle lows. The broader 
takeaway is that price structure, momentum, and volume are converging toward 
what Dishner describes as a final flush. Stablecoin Dominance And S&amp;P Risk Add 
Pressure Dishner also highlights combined stablecoin dominance, specifically 
USDT and USDC. Historically, sharp increases in stablecoin dominance have 
coincided with heavy Bitcoin sell-offs. He notes dominance is approaching 
resistance near 13%, and previous breakout clusters preceded steep downside 
moves in BTC. RSI behavior on the dominance chart mirrors pre-capitulation 
setups from 2022. In that cycle, a spike in dominance aligned with Bitcoin’s 
June decline, followed by weeks of choppy consolidation before recovery 
attempts. Related Reading: Dogecoin’s Third Time Breakout Could Send Price On 
2,000% Rally To $2 Macro risk compounds the outlook. Dishner points to bearish 
divergence signals on the S&amp;P 500, referencing clusters of downside momentum 
warnings seen near prior equity tops. An 8% pullback is viewed as plausible, 
with a deeper 20%–25% correction representing a high-impact scenario. In his 
assessment, a significant equity drawdown would transmit stress into digital 
assets, intensifying margin pressure and accelerating Bitcoin’s decline. Even 
after capitulation, history suggests the market may not immediately reverse. 
Prior cycles required 19 to 40 weeks of sideways or unstable price action 
before sustained recovery began. If the pattern holds, Bitcoin may be entering 
its final sell-off phase, potentially bottoming around October. Until then, 
Dishner maintains conditions remain structurally bearish, with elevated risk 
across crypto and traditional markets. Featured image created with Dall.E,
