Bitcoin has been holding above $65,000 for over a month now, and this price 
level is starting to carry more weight than it seems on the surface. The 
current structure is no longer just about short-term volatility, but a 
question about whether the market is building a base or setting up for one 
more lower move to as low as $40,000 before any real rally begins. Another 
question now is not just where Bitcoin goes next, but how its next move shapes 
the timeline for an altcoin season. Analyst Warns Of Bear Case That Could 
Delay Altcoin Season A recent technical analysis from a chartist highlights a 
less favorable path for Bitcoin, one that could push the price action into 
another extended leg down. Related Reading: Signal That Led To Last 2 Altcoin 
Seasons Has Returned, And Here’s How Bitcoin Fits In The analyst describes 
this setup as a bear case scenario, noting that it is not the expected outcome 
but still a realistic possibility. In this structure, Bitcoin’s price action 
first moves higher into a resistance zone around the $78,000 to $82,000 
region, where a previous breakdown occurred in late January. That optimism, 
however, could be short-lived. The projection shows price failing at that 
resistance and reversing sharply, leading to a deeper decline that sweeps 
previous lows and pushes the Bitcoin price below $40,000. According to the 
analyst, such a move would delay the formation of a macro bottom and push any 
meaningful altcoin season further out. There&#8217;s also a liquidity zone around a 
wick low in February. That wick is situated just above $60,000, where the 
Bitcoin price bottomed on February 6 before being quickly bought back up. The 
outlook is that this level still needs to be taken out cleanly before a 
sustained rally can begin. Without that sweep, upside moves will still be 
vulnerable to failure. A quick bottom from current levels would allow capital 
to rotate sooner into altcoins. A delayed sweep to levels, on the other hand, 
will keep liquidity tied up in Bitcoin for longer and postpone that rotation. 
A Drop Below $40,000 Looks Unlikely Even with that bearish scenario on the 
table, the price structure of Bitcoin is still against a sustained breakdown 
below $40,000. According to the analyst, there is only about a 40% probability 
that this scenario plays out. Related Reading: The 8-Year Ethereum Convergence 
That Says An Altcoin Season Stronger Than 2021 Is Coming On-chain data is 
showing strong support layers well above the $40,000 price level. For 
instance, Bitcoin’s realized price is still around $54,000, and this would act 
as a support even if Bitcoin were to fall below $60,000 and into the $50,000 
range. Speaking of support, the Bitcoin price has managed to hold above 
$63,000 since the early February crash, despite macro headwinds like the war 
in the Middle East, oil prices rising, and multiple predictions of a further 
bottom below $60,000 and even some below $50,000 over the past two months.
