Bitcoin dips to a six-month low after recent highs as crypto analyst Income Sharks reexamines a 2022 sub-$20K buy zone chart.

Bitcoin is trading at $97,242 amid a turbulent month that has seen the premier crypto asset swing between $97K and $111K. BTC began November near $110K but could not sustain the rally, retracing to levels last seen in May.

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has declined by 6.2%, further extending its monthly loss to 13.6%. The current price is roughly 23% below its all-time high of $ 127,000, recorded in early October.

Analyst Analyst Revisits 2022 Buy Zone Amid Pullback 

The current market pullback prompted crypto analyst Income Sharks to revisit a chart he published in Q3 2022. The chart highlighted a major buy zone between $17,000 and $20,000 during the previous cycle’s downturn, along with a summer accumulation period where price movement slowed, signaling a midterm rally above consolidation.

The 2022 chart also outlined resistance levels, including a mid-range sell zone and a higher profit-taking zone, with a long-term exit target above $40,000. Income Sharks noted that low points in Bitcoin’s price tended to be brief, and selling at sub-$20K levels would have likely resulted in missed gains.

Interestingly, since the 2022 low of $17K, Bitcoin has surged 471%, demonstrating its resilience through multiple cycles and reinforcing lessons from historical market behavior. 

Today, the analyst has confirmed that the market bottoms often feel like the worst time to buy, yet they frequently become the smartest opportunities. He says this as BTC drops to another low that many believe could be a golden entry opportunity.

Bitcoin Current Structure and Prediction 

Notably, technical indicators suggest Bitcoin may be setting up for a rebound. Crypto Express mentioned that Bitcoin is trading above the support trendline of a falling wedge, indicating a potential bounce if the level holds. However, the 21-day and 50-day moving averages are acting as resistance, and a break below support could trigger further losses.

Meanwhile, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju noted that Bitcoin whales have been selling since prices surpassed $100,000, contributing to the recent downward pressure. Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs experienced $963.7 million in net outflows over the past nine trading days, starting with BTC’s surge to $115,000 on October 28.

Despite a likely end to the 2025 bull cycle, he suggested that institutional support and ETFs can help cushion the market with favorable macroeconomic conditions, making current levels a potential buying opportunity.

Similarly, CryptoQuant analyst Moreno highlights that Bitcoin is in a liquidity setup often seen before major rallies. Even with bearish trends and cautious market sentiment, current conditions could offer favorable entry points for traders.
