Bitcoin’s recent price structure has not been easy to sit through. The price action has spent months moving sideways to lower, printing a series of bearish monthly closes since October that have placed the crypto sentiment in fear. That kind of slow pressure tends to feel worse than sharp sell-offs.

According to a crypto analyst, instead of treating the recent stretch as a warning sign of more declines to come, history shows that the Bitcoin price is much closer to a turning point than most participants realize.

The 2018 Parallel: Six Red Candles, Then A 4x Move

“With the ongoing panic, buying makes more sense here,” the analyst wrote, adding that Bitcoin could reach another all-time high following this move. The chart evidence they cite stretches back to late 2018 to early 2019, the only other time Bitcoin printed six straight red monthly candles.

This period between 2018 and 2019 is one of the most instructive chapters in Bitcoin’s price history, and what happened next reshaped the entire cycle. 

From August 2018 through January 2019, Bitcoin closed six consecutive red monthly candles in a descent that took the price from about $7,700 all the way down to approximately $3,500. Sentiment had fully deteriorated, retail participants had largely capitulated, and to the average observer, the price action looked broken. 

However, that was not the case. Those six months actually forced out weaker hands, absorbed persistent sell pressure, and quietly built the base for what came next. By May 2019, Bitcoin had surged to nearly $10,500, more than a 3x gain from its cycle lows. By June, it was pressing $13,000, representing more than a 4x return from the lows of that six-candle decline.

A Familiar Pattern In A Very Different Market

Bitcoin’s current price action, while not identical, shares some of those characteristics. The current price play out looks much like that 2018/2019 sequence in structure, but the context is also more constructive. 

Bitcoin’s consecutive red monthly candles since October 2025 brought the price from a peak above $126,000 down to lows below $70,000, which is a controlled pullback of over 45% from the high. Painful by conventional standards, but measured in the context of Bitcoin’s historical drawdowns.

As noted by the analyst, the candles are red, but they’re not impulsive. There’s no panic structure, just steady selling pressure that’s been absorbed over time. However, while retail sentiment has deteriorated across the multi-month decline, institutional buyers have been moving in the opposite direction. Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has accumulated over 122,000 BTC during this period.

If the 2019 recovery template applies at any comparable scale, a 3x to 4x move from recent lows would place Bitcoin somewhere between $180,000 and $250,000 in the months ahead. Even a more conservative 2x recovery from the $67,000 range would put the Bitcoin price trading at new all-time highs above $130,000 in the coming months.

Ethereum continues to struggle to surmount the resistance that has mounted at $3,000, with bears maintaining a firm grip on the price. Nevertheless, bullish sentiment surrounding the Ethereum price has not been completely eroded. This suggests that investors still expect the price to recover from the current decline. Crypto analyst Master Ananda shares a more bullish view for the cryptocurrency, predicting that 5-figures remain in the future.

Ethereum Price To Push Above $10,0000

In the analysis, Master Ananda explains that the Ethereum story is far from over. The crypto analyst pointed out the appearance of Trend-Based Fibonacci extension numbers on the Ethereum price chart. These suggest that the Ethereum price is getting ready for another major rally.

Following this trend, the analyst believes that the digital asset’s price will hit 5-figures. However, despite $10,000 looking more elusive with each passing day, Master Ananda says it doesn’t look like the all-time high target for Ethereum. Instead, $10,000 is only a “mid-portion” target, meaning that he expects the price to rise higher.

In contrast to the expected $10,000 target that Ethereum has been predicted to hit, the crypto analyst sees the price rising as high as $20,000 at this time. Such a recovery would mean an over 900% increase in price for Ethereum, and likely trigger an altcoin season, as has been the case in the past.

Looking at the chart, there are some major resistance levels where the bears could put up a fight. The first is around $4,900, where the current all-time high sits. Then, moving further along comes the $10,690 resistance. This is a natural resistance as $10,000 is expected to be a major psychological level.

On the tail-end of this massive rally is the budding resistance that could send the Ethereum price crashing back downward at $20,000. This is expected to be the peak before the cryptocurrency moves into another bear market again.

As for the timeframe for when this could happen, the crypto analyst explains that investors will not have to wait long for this to happen. “We don’t have to wait four years for this event to take place. It is all starting now… Ethereum is headed for a target of $20,000,” the post reads.

My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.

I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.

When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.

Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.

My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.

Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.

One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.

I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.

I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.

I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.
