Bitcoin’s monthly chart highlights a market still respecting a long-term cycle rather than entering disorder. The structure shows a powerful advance that peaked in 2021 near the $69,000 zone, a level that also aligned with a key Fibonacci extension around $69,311.
That peak marked the end of a major impulse phase. What followed through 2022 and early 2023 was a broad corrective move, with price stabilizing between roughly $26,000 and $14,700.
Historically, this range has acted as a long-term accumulation area, and the chart reflects similar behavior this cycle. Since bottoming, Bitcoin has recovered strongly and stayed well above its major long-term moving averages.
TARA’s view that the recent decline fits neatly into a wave four correction. The break of the previous wave three trendline is considered normal in this phase. Price pulling back to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement near $83,852 is seen as technical digestion rather than structural damage.

Fibonacci extensions and retracement levels make it clear why the current correction has yet to affect the outlook. Bitcoin’s current level is where a smaller wave four correction typically completes.
Corrections like this help prevent market participants from being too optimistic before the next wave of action.
Momentum metrics confirm this assessment. The RSI on the monthly chart is in mid-50s to low-60s, significantly below past market highs.
Past major highs occurred when RSI surpassed 80%, indicating an extreme reading. The same indicator is absent in the current market. It appears that Bitcoin may still be in a growth phase and not at a point of peaking.
The projection levels above indicate possible technical regions around the 1.618 extension of $127,000 and a macro extension of $158,560. These are not predictions; rather, they are regions of high statistical significance related to sell pressure and volatility.
The long-term chart appears to be steady, but there is a strain seen in the short-term order flow. According to Ardi’s information, large investors are still the major sellers at present during the drawdown, as Bitcoin has dropped below $100,000, and to retail investors, this is a discount.
The retail trading accounts with values between $0 and $1,000 display the most aggressive buying, with a positive delta of approximately $9.7 million.
The mid-size traders with accounts between $1,000 and $100,000 display a highly aggressive buying pattern with a large net position.
The large trading accounts valued between $100,000 and $10 million demonstrate a selling pattern with a negative delta of approximately $2.19 billion.
