Bitcoin rallied above $105,000 in mid-morning European trading on Tuesday, 
clawing back losses sustained over the weekend after dipping below six figures 
for the first time since May. Yet the respite may prove fleeting, says veteran 
technician Quantum Ascend (@quantum_ascend). Bitcoin Price Mirrors 2021 On 
side-by-side charts of the current cycle and the 2021-to-2024 arc, the analyst 
argued that Bitcoin is “the same exact pattern—run-up, one high, back down, 
second high,” followed by an ABC corrective sequence that in 2021 bottomed 
only after a second, deeper flush. “Gut says no,” he told viewers when asked 
whether last Friday’s sell-off had already marked capitulation. “We’ve been 
talking about this ABC since March… people were calling for new lows; I said 
nope, we got five waves at the top, we got an ABC and then we go— and that’s 
when the alts take off.” His base case now envisions a relief rally toward the 
$107,000–$108,000 band—the level where a trend-line projected from the two 
post-halving peaks intersects—before a final leg lower drives price into what 
he calls the “pain box” sandwiched between the 0.702 and 0.618 Fibonacci 
retracements of the entire rally from last October’s $58,000 breakout. In 2021 
that zone ultimately wicked to the exact 0.618, a move he believes could 
repeat, implying spot levels between roughly $96,500 and $92,000. “This 
measurement fits the parameter now… if it wants to turn around and rip, 
great,” he conceded, “but there’s still a very good chance that was not the 
end.” Related Reading: Bitcoin STHs Capitulate: 14,700 BTC Moved To Exchanges 
At Loss Internally, the analyst parses the current drop as the developing 
C-wave of a larger flat, subdividing into a classic five-wave impulse. Wave 
three, he notes, appears complete; wave four “could come up high,” granting 
altcoins a short-lived pop, “but hopefully, again, sooner than later, we roll 
over.” He cites 2021’s July fractal, when Bitcoin bounced 20% before sliding a 
final time, as a psychological template. “When there’s a big news narrative 
event,” he observed, “we’ll get a little relief—people think it’s done—then 
wham, one more thing to scare retail.” Macro sentiment, he argues, remains 
fragile. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange gap at $92,000 is drawing “average- 
retail” bids, a setup he characterises as a “washing machine” in which 
professional money fronts liquidity only to fade it. “Retail is just a washing 
machine, man… that buy isn’t going to get filled,” he warned. Still, he 
reiterated long-term optimism, revealing he “hammered some buys” during 
Monday’s dip and advising his followers to dollar-cost average—“not financial 
advice”—through the turbulence. Related Reading: Bears Will Be Washed Out Of 
Bitcoin If This Happens Quantum Ascend’s upside target for the ensuing 
impulsive advance is comparatively restrained: $132,000, a level he says 
enjoys “two pieces of confluence” and would coincide with “the alts moment” 
when Bitcoin dominance finally cracks. “We will eventually work our way back 
up near the top of this B-wave… flag a little, and then boom,” he predicted, 
referencing November 2021’s so-called “Trump pump” that ignited a multisector 
altcoin surge. For now, traders watch the 0.702–0.618 pocket and the mooted 
relief ceiling at $108,000. Should Bitcoin slice through support without that 
interim bounce, the analyst says, the flush could conclude “sooner than 
later,” clearing the runway for what he calls “the next few months—our 
moment.” In his sign-off he urged viewers to “be an adult, live through it,” 
but also confessed palpable excitement: “I feel really good about where we’re 
at.” Whether the market shares his confidence will likely become clear once 
the final C-wave verdict arrives—perhaps, he hopes, within the week. At press 
time, BTC traded at $105,077. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from
