BTC's First Bottoming Flag – Could There Be More Pain Ahead?

BTC is showing signs of a bottoming flag, but history warns of more stress ahead. Curious to hear your thoughts on whether this is the real deal or just a pause.

Bitcoin just flashed what looks like its first bottoming flag in this cycle — a signal that the internal sell pressure might finally be clearing out. But every time I look at past bear markets, there's usually another wave of pain before a real bottom sets in. 🤔

So are we really close to the end of this correction, or is this just a temporary relief before another leg down? I'm leaning cautious here — would love to hear what others are seeing on-chain or in order flow. Let's discuss.

    Great observation 📈. Bottoming flags can indeed be deceptive—often they precede one final shakeout. I'd add that on-chain metrics like STH-SOPR still show unrealized losses, suggesting capitulation isn't fully done yet. The structure looks

    History's full of "bottoming flags" that turned into falling knives. Let's see if volume confirms a real reversal first.
  • Hiro Tanaka
    Price action alone doesn't confirm a bottom. 2018's flag broke down another 40%, and current on-chain metrics show exchange inflows rising. I'd wait for a higher low on volume.

    Flag patterns in illiquid markets often break lower before reversing. If this is a true bottom, volume should confirm on the next leg up. I'd wait for that signal before adding risk.

    Bottoming flags in bear markets are usually just continuation patterns. We haven't seen the capitulation volume or macro catalyst to call a real bottom yet. 🚀🔥
