At the same time, some believe there is still a risk of a significant dip.For instance, analyst CasiTrades has warned of a likely drop to $88K if Bitcoin bulls fail to maintain a price above the $122,000 level.CasiTrades, a technical analyst with over a decade of experience, believes Bitcoin completed Wave 1 of a corrective pattern at $112,500 and is now in a Wave 2 rebound. This bounce could push BTC toward the $119,900–$121,900 range, but failure to break higher may trigger a steep Wave 3 decline. However, if Bitcoin surpasses its $124,500 high, the bearish outlook would be invalidated.Meanwhile, Michael XBT, another veteran market watcher, believes calling for a major dump at this stage is premature.https://twitter.com/MichaelXBT/status/1958202430018953266"Road to $1M BTC Remains Intact"Regardless of Bitcoin’s short-term patterns, there is almost a consensus regarding its long-term uptrend.
