Bitcoin’s bearish structure over the past few weeks has raised clear concerns about the flagship cryptocurrency’s future. Amid these concerns are speculations concerning its trajectory, some of which point to bottoms as low as $25,000. However, an on-chain analyst recently took to the social media platform X to explain why Bitcoin’s fall to $25,000 is an unlikely scenario in its current cycle.
