A widely followed analyst says Bitcoin may repeat an historical capitulation event if BTC<\/a> fails to hold one key level.<\/p>\n

The analyst pseudonymously known as Rekt Capital tells<\/a> his 563,100 followers on X that if Bitcoin loses support at the 200-week exponential moving average (EMA) it may plummet in value similar to what occurred in 2018 and 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would confirm additional downside for Bitcoin? Historically, a weekly close below the 200-week EMA (black) followed by a post-breakdown retest of the EMA into new resistance (red circles) has triggered additional bearish acceleration. <\/em><\/p>\n

The 200-week EMA (black) represents the price point of ~$68,300. Therefore a weekly close below ~$68,300 followed by a bearish retest of it would likely position Bitcoin for a repeat of history with additional downside over time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The analyst notes<\/a> that Bitcoin must convincingly breakout from the 200-week EMA resistance level to invalidate the likelihood of a collapse.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin has weekly closed above the 200-week EMA (black) for the second week in a row. This 200-week EMA is a key confirmation trigger for additional downside. So by Bitcoin weekly closing above it, it is staving off bearish confirmation. <\/em><\/p>\n

However, this doesn\u2019t mean Bitcoin is now in the clear. In fact, in the absence of any meaningful upside from here going forward, there is a risk that BTC loses the 200-week EMA in time. History suggests price won\u2019t be able to produce much upside from this 200-week EMA before an eventual breakdown.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
