Bitcoin (BTC) is showing early signs of hesitation after a strong upward move, 
positioning the market at a critical decision phase. A crypto analyst has 
shared details on whether the current pause reflects healthy consolidation or 
a shift in momentum that could influence the broader crypto market. A recent 
analysis by crypto analyst Tony Severino shows that Bitcoin is entering a 
critical decision phase, with price action indicating a maturing trend. His 
chart highlights a robust upward structure that has begun to slow, signaling a 
shift in market behavior rather than an immediate price reversal. Notably, 
this moment is significant not just for Bitcoin but for the broader crypto 
market, which often follows its lead. Crypto Market Next Move As Bitcoin Hits 
Key Phase Severino’s chart illustrates a steady climb in Bitcoin&#8217;s price, 
marked by higher highs and measured pullbacks, indicating that buyers have 
largely been in control. However, recent candles show slower momentum and 
smaller bodies, suggesting that BTC’s bullish strength is starting to waver. 
The analyst has stated that the market is currently testing whether buyers 
still have the strength to push prices to upper levels or if Bitcoin’s upward 
move has run its course. Related Reading: Economist Blasts Strategy’s Bitcoin 
Bet, Despite $8 Billion Profits, Here’s Why Another key feature of the chart 
is the Doji candle forming near the top of the trend. Severino notes that this 
candle should not be interpreted as a sell signal, but rather an 
acknowledgement by the market that Bitcoin’s upside certainty has ended. The 
candle is also viewed as an early sign of hesitation, with multiple market 
outcomes possible. Severino explained that the market could enter a period of 
digestion, where Bitcoin’s price consolidates while maintaining a larger 
uptrend. Alternatively, the pause could signal distribution, with stronger 
hands beginning to transfer risk as BTC’s momentum fades. Another possibility 
is a final push higher driven by renewed conviction and late-cycle momentum. 
In that scenario, Bitcoin could break out of its current slowdown and extend 
gains before any new correction. Notably, Severino’s chart analysis does not 
confirm which path the market could ultimately take, only that the next 
sequence is expected to be decisive. Bitcoin Price Faces Potential Decline To 
$35,000 In a separate post, crypto market expert Lofty warned that Bitcoin 
could extend its downtrend, potentially triggering a deeper price crash. He 
pointed out striking similarities between the current BTC cycle and the 2021 
bull run, highlighting a Double Top pattern that has preceded a significant 
price drop in the past cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Is Dead: 
Crypto Trader Explains What Happens Next According to Lofty, if Bitcoin 
follows its historical four-year trend, its price could collapse to $35,000 
within the next two weeks. Notably, the cryptocurrency has already completed 
its Double Top formation and is showing early signs of a prolonged downtrend. 
If the price declines to $35,000, it would represent a more than 60% drop from 
its current value of over $88,500. Featured image from Getty Images, chart
