The leading cryptocurrency still trades just below the $70,000 mark following the temporary breakout earlier this week. Bitcoin has now spent an overwhelming majority of the last month within the $60,000 \u2013 $70,000 price range, after prices crashed to a new market low in late January\/early February amid the extended bearish season.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Set For Another Leg Down?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2029906169636999378?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">X post<\/a> on March 6, Martinez shares a key macro insight on the Bitcoin price trajectory, using historical data from the 3-day trading chart. The seasoned analyst explains that the formation of a particular death cross has consistently preceded the final price drawdown in the market cycle. Generally, the death cross represents a bearish technical indicator where a short-term moving average falls below the long-term moving average, indicating that recent price momentum has weakened relative to the longer-term trend, and there is rising selling pressure coupled with a potential prolonged downturn.<\/p>\n<p>The common version of the death cross appears when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, and is a key bearish indicator in the Bitcoin market, according to observations shared by Martinez. In 2013, Bitcoin had notably crashed by 72% before the 50\/200 SMA death cross appeared. Thereafter, the market leader recorded an additional 52% price fall, before reaching a price bottom.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">$BTC<\/a> 3-day chart has been one of the most important timeframes from a macro perspective. <\/p>\n<p>What matters most for me in this timeframe is the interaction between the 50 and 200 simple moving averages.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f9f5.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\uddf5\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f447.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" class=\"wp-smiley\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alicharts\/status\/2029906169636999378?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">March 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A similar pattern is observed in 2017, when Bitcoin declined by 67% from its market peak before the appearance of the death cross, which triggers an additional 50% crash. For the last market cycle, the 50\/200 SMA death cross appeared in May 2022, when Bitcoin was prominently down by 58% from its cycle top. Thereafter, BTC investors would experience another 46% devaluation.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is presently down by 45.62% from the present cycle high of $126,100 following an extended bearish phase that has lasted since October. Notably, price movement has also minted another death cross on the 3-day chart, indicating a potential major downside could occur based on precedents. In this case, Bitcoin may fall by an additional average 49% to establish a potential bottom around $33,500. However, Martinez warns that this price setup provides no bearish guarantee, but only historical alignment with macro bottom formations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bitcoin Price Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $68,235 following a 4.21% decline in the last 24 hours. Following recent positive price action, the maiden cryptocurrency is up by 3.59% on its weekly chart. However, Bitcoin remains far off a bullish turnaround as indicated by current losses of 4.49% on the monthly chart.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/o7KY7EBd\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1563\" height=\"978\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market analyst Ali Martinez highlights a recent development on the Bitcoin 3-day chart with significant bearish implications.
