The surge in privacy coins in late 2025, which continued in 2026 with Monero 
hitting new highs, is seen as signalling renewed investor demand for on-chain 
anonymity. Analysts and industry leaders argue that privacy is evolving from 
untraceable transfers to selective disclosure and becoming core infrastructure 
for Web3. Privacy as the Modern ‘Bank Account’ The […]

A warning signal is flashing on the charts, with market analysts predicting 
that the Bitcoin price could collapse again soon. According to technical 
analysis, if BTC fails to continue its uptrend, it could repeat the bear- 
market crash from past cycles, potentially dragging its price down by double- 
digit percentages. Bitcoin Price To Repeat 2022 Bear Market Crash? Crypto 
analyst Tyrex believes that Bitcoin may be approaching a critical turning 
point if the current uptrend fails to hold. In his latest BTC price outlook on 
X, he compares the current market structure to the April 2022 cycle, when 
Bitcoin made an ATH and then crashed hard for weeks. Related Reading: Ethereum 
On Fire: User Growth Sparks Massive Activity Spike Tyrex disclosed that 
Bitcoin dropped roughly 45% from its all-time high in 2022 before entering an 
extended consolidation phase that lasted nearly four months. The accompanying 
chart shows that during that period, prices respected clear horizontal 
boundaries, creating a false sense of strength and stability, all while 
underlying weakness continued to build. That consolidation eventually led to 
an upside fakeout, with the Bitcoin price briefly breaking resistance before 
reversing sharply. Unfortunately, the rejection triggered a continuation of 
the broader downtrend that year, resulting in another aggressive price crash 
that wiped out remaining bullish confidence. According to Tyrex, BTC’s current 
chart structure closely mirrors the same historical setup from 2022. Bitcoin 
has once again pulled back sharply after reaching an all-time high of over 
$126,000. Additionally, the cryptocurrency has spent roughly two months 
consolidating within a defined range, repeatedly stalling at resistance 
levels. Tyrex warns that Bitcoin is barely holding above $95,000, which aligns 
with the resistance zone shown on the chart. If price fails to recover and 
continues to stall near this level, the move higher could turn out to be a 
fakeout, potentially leading to another sharp dump— just as it did in 2022. 
The red-shaded area on the chart shows how far BTC could crash if the uptrend 
breaks, with the analyst projecting an 11.04% drop to the $86,000-$84,000 
range. Bitcoin Set For March ATH And May Flash Crash Another forecast from 
market expert CryptoXLarge outlines where Bitcoin could be headed over the 
next four months. The analyst bases the outlook on historical market behavior, 
suggesting the current cycle may be replicating past cycle peaks. CryptoXLarge 
points to January 2026 as a phase of quiet accumulation with controlled price 
action and muted volatility. February is expected to bring a powerful rally as 
momentum builds rapidly and buyers push the BTC price higher. This surge could 
set the stage for Bitcoin to reach a new all-time high around $240,000 in 
March. Related Reading: Ethereum Staking Hits Record Levels As Buterin Urges

a bull trap where the price appears strong but fails to sustain upward 
momentum. The forecast concludes with a warning of a flash crash in May 2026, 
during which prices could pull back to fresh lows. Featured image from
