This week, bitcoin is trading 29% below its all-time high from October, when 
the bellwether digital asset cleared $126,000 per coin, leaving its most 
ardent backers to reckon with an uncomfortable reality: precious metals like 
gold have been stealing the spotlight. Still, plenty of die-hard crypto 
believers remain convinced that once gold’s run loses steam, […]

As Gold Shines, Bitcoin Believers Say BTC’s Real Move Hasn’t Started

Technical analysis shared by crypto analyst CryptoBullet on X highlighted a 
familiar price action that suggests that Bitcoin’s current structure may be 
closely tracking a 2022 price fractal. Bitcoin’s price action in recent days 
has changed into a more fragile posture, with the cryptocurrency falling back 
below the psychological $90,000 level after failing to sustain higher ground 
above $97,000 on January 14. How Bitcoin’s Current Structure Resembles The 
2022 Fractal According to CryptoBullet, Bitcoin’s present price action is 
closely following an interesting structure that it previously played out in 
2022. Technical analysis on the daily candlestick timeframe chart posted by 
the analyst shows the earlier 2022 move as a transparent projection layered 
behind current price action, with a striking similarity in both rhythm and 
volatility. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Will Still Rally Above $99,000 
Despite Bearish Sentiment, Here’s Why As it stands, Bitcoin has experienced a 
significant 28.7% pullback from its October 2025 peak and is now trading in a 
choppy consolidation, a behavior that closely matches the early stages of the 
2022 downturn. CryptoBullet noted, however, that there is an important 
distinction. During the 2022 decline, Bitcoin had already tested the 50-week 
moving average and the 200-day moving average at this stage of the cycle. In 
the current setup, Bitcoin&#8217;s price action is trading below those levels but 
has not yet made a direct test, and this means that the structure may still be 
incomplete. What The 2022 Outcome Predicts For Bitcoin’s Next Move The 
projection in the background of the chart shows Bitcoin making one more push 
higher over the coming month, briefly reclaiming levels above $100,000 before 
running into a strong resistance at the 50-week moving average. Related

this scenario plays out, the move would resemble the final relief rally seen 
in 2022, where the price rallied into long-term resistance before rolling 
over. CryptoBullet noted that timing also supports this idea, noting that 
considering the 2022 top is lined up with the October 2025 top, there appears 
to be roughly one month of price action left for a final leg up. The 
projection is that Bitcoin pushes to at least $100,000 again sometime in 
February 2026. However, support must hold above $83,000 in order for this 
bullish portion of the setup to be valid. Although the short-term projection 
is bullish, the broader implication of the 2022 fractal is bearish for the 
mid-term. According to the chart’s projected path, Bitcoin is shown rejecting 
at the 50-week moving average after a brief rally, followed by a sustained 
decline that eventually drags its price action below $71,500. This prediction 
is based on exactly what unfolded in 2022, when a final pump gave way to a 
deeper corrective phase. That said, fractals are guides, not guarantees, 
meaning price history may rhyme, but it does not always repeat itself exactly.
