Crypto pundit Crypto Bully has shared his base case for Bitcoin and what to expect before the flagship crypto rallies above $100,000. This comes as BTC continues to struggle to hold above the $70,000 resistance amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.  Analyst Shares Base Case For Bitcoin In an X post, Crypto Bully stated that the path and exact levels of Bitcoin are not important in the long run, aside from immediate support and resistance levels. The analyst shared key points, including the observation that downside retests have not worked for a while. He pointed to the $85,000 level, which he noted is the logical lower high from the previous value generated before a further collapse due to extensive selling.  Related Reading: The Bitcoin Game Plan That Shows How To Navigate BTC Below $100,000 However, the analyst suggested that the downtrend is not over, noting that bear market bottoms take months, not weeks. His accompanying chart showed that Bitcoin could still drop to $50,000. In the short term, he predicted that the flagship crypto could drop to $65,000. As for the bullish outlook for BTC, Crypto Bully stated that a break above the current level near $72,000 could easily spark a rally towards $85,000. He explained that a Bitcoin rally to $85,000 is possible, given the strength the flagship crypto has shown amid the ongoing geopolitical turmoil. The analyst added that the aggressive inflows into the BTC ETFs have not disappeared during this period. SoSoValue data shows that the Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $767 million this week.  Crypto Bull said the best DCA strategy is to buy Bitcoin whenever it drops from $65,000 down to $50,000. He revealed that his current spot buying average is around $67,000.  BTC Is Not Yet At A Bottom A CryptoQuant analysis noted that the Bitcoin bottom is “not quite” in. The analysis revealed that, despite BTC’s resilience amid recent geopolitical tensions, on-chain data indicate the leading crypto is in a critical “stress test” phase. It added that the bottoming process could take a long while, with institutions being the primary investors in this cycle.  Related Reading: Has Bitcoin Price Bottomed Yet? Analyst Says We’re Not There Yet The analysis also highlighted two paths to a Bottom for Bitcoin. The first path is a potential Black Swan that could trigger a crash, forcing liquidations and wiping out high-cost “new money.” CryptoQuant noted that this is the fastest route to a solid floor, which could form between one and two months.  The second path is longer and involves a scenario in which Bitcoin trades sideways between $60,000 and $80,000 for a year, allowing new money to grow into long-term holder status. Under this path, the bear market could extend to late 2026 or early 2027.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $71,000, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The past week recorded a significant change in the Bitcoin price action, where there was a momentum-driven rally to the upside of the charts. As of Tuesday, March 10, this move had boosted the flagship cryptocurrency tp reclaim its previous psychological $70,000 level. Interestingly, the Bitcoin price would go on to reach about $74,000 on Friday. While this might be good for Bitcoin, if at all in the short term, data from a recent on-chain evaluation has been published, leading to the suspicious conclusion that Bitcoin’s market participants are currently not as enthusiastic as they should be.

Analyst Reveals How Negative Funding Rates On Binance Reveal Increasing Short Positioning  In an X post on March 13, pseudonymous on-chain analyst Darkfost reveals that there is a widespread wave of cautious pessimism in the Bitcoin market, despite the most recent bullish performance. As noted by the crypto expert, every rebound of the BTC price seen in March seems merely to be opportunities for short positioning, rather than clear recovery movements. For this reason, there has been a progressive display of negative funding rates on the Binance exchange for close to a week, as shown by the Bitcoin: Funding Rates – Binance metric.     Darkfost points out that this is reflected in the extreme readings obtained on the Funding Rates metric, with funding rates slipping under -0.006 both on the 10th and 11th of March. According to the analyst, this significantly negative level indicates that most of the positions currently open on Binance are biased towards shorts, as high skepticism remains among investors on the tenability of Bitcoin’s recovery taking place in the near-term.

This is because, when most traders open clusters of short positions, they open the market to an increasing possibility of a short squeeze. According to history, Darkfost explains that “when funding rates reach extreme levels or when a strong market consensus forms, it is often too late to position in that direction.” Hence, in the scenario where the Bitcoin price can sustain its recent upside movement, a short squeeze would likely occur.  As a result, all of the sell-side liquidity currently sitting above Bitcoin’s market price would become converted to fuel for the upside move, and this in turn could cause the liquidation of even more short positions, further reinforcing the bullish move. Barring a definite move occurring, market participants are therefore advised to retain a more cautious stance in their dealings. As of press time, the Bitcoin price trades at $70,852 following a 1.09% loss over the past 24-hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
