- Despite some bullish signals like the US-China deals, the adage “Sell in May” warns of further declines, aligning with historical mid-term election trends.

$33K Could Be Bitcoin’s Next Stop if History Repeats: Analyst
Historical Patterns Signal Possible Drop
Bitcoin recently faced significant resistance after reaching $82,000. It then dropped to a 15-day low of $78,000. Many analysts believe this signals more downside ahead. Merlijn The Trader, a well-known market watcher, pointed out a historical pattern. He noted that Bitcoin has often fallen during U.S. mid-term election years. Specifically, the cryptocurrency has declined by around 60% in past mid-term years. In 2014, it fell 61%. In 2018, it dropped 65%. Four years ago, it declined 66%. Merlijn warned that, if history repeats, Bitcoin could plunge to about $33,000. Despite some positive factors like the CLARITY Act and U.S.-China deals, he emphasized that the calendar’s pattern can be reliable.
Potential for a Shorter-Term Recovery
Merlijn also discussed other historical signals. He compared the current market to a phase in 2021 that led to a major crash. At that time, Bitcoin went through six steps before falling sharply. Now, he suggests that the market might be in a similar “accumulation” phase. If Bitcoin manages to hold above the $78,000 support level, it might avoid the worst decline. However, if it falls below that point, the price could move toward $45,000 or even $59,000. Ultimately, the next move depends heavily on whether Bitcoin can sustain current support levels or if more decline is imminent.
