Is Bitcoin forming a head and shoulders pattern before a correction, or are we in the midst of another bull flag consolidation? Personally, I lean toward the latter — that this is a classic bull flag being formed. That does not preclude us from seeing more volatility in the short term. We could very well chop sideways for the next two months or even move lower before the next leg up. It’s entirely plausible that we test and ultimately break through the 109,000 level before advancing toward 132,000.
That said, we must also acknowledge the alternative: what if this is indeed a head and shoulders pattern, signalling a deeper correction ahead? The market will do what it wants, and the truth is revealed only in hindsight. Good traders and investors prepare for both outcomes.
My broader view is that the real economic pain begins to show itself around September or October, when the cumulative impact of tariffs, deteriorating trade flows, and policy missteps starts to weigh more heavily. That’s part of why I believe we’re still in a bull phase for Bitcoin — though likely the final one before liquidity tightens more decisively.
Let me be clear: I do not regard Bitcoin as digital gold. It may be a reasonable proxy for global liquidity, but it is not a risk-off asset. It is not a store of value in the same sense as gold, and I believe those who treat it as such are in for a rude awakening. Yes, it has captured the imagination — and wallets — of a certain subset of investors who see it as a monetary alternative. But in a true bear market, when risk assets come under real pressure, I expect Bitcoin and the broader crypto complex to fall alongside equities and other speculative instruments.
That will be the moment when the cost of four years of reckless spending, monetary debasement, and centralised overreach is fully realised. The lesson, as always, will be the same: liquidity is a tide, and when it goes out, only real assets endure. For many, it may soon be time to consider harvesting gains and rotating into genuine risk-off positions — not narratives, not hope — but assets with intrinsic value, such as physical gold.
This is not investment advice. Do your own research. I could be entirely wrong. And please forgive the rough chart — it’s amateur work.
