๐Ÿงจ Rebuttal to Michael Saylor's statement: "Bottom" is a bear flag, not a reversal point๐Ÿ˜
On April 9, Michael Saylor stated that Bitcoin likely reached its bottom around $60 000, citing exhausted sellers and steady ETF demand. He also called the quantum computing threat exaggerated.
I analyzed the attached BTCUSDT.P chart ( daily timeframe, 2020โ€“2026 ) โ€” and see a completely different picture.
๐Ÿ“‰ Bear flag still in effect
The chart clearly shows a bear flag:
๐ŸŸงThe pole โ€” sharp decline from levels around $110 000 to $60 000 (February 2026).
๐ŸŸงThe flag โ€” horizontal-ascending consolidation in the range of $60 000 โ€“ $75 000, which has been ongoing for over two months.
๐ŸŸงVolume โ€” decreasing during consolidation, which is typical for a flag, not a reversal.
As long as the price remains inside the flag, the lower support boundary is around $60 000, and the upper resistance boundary is $75 000. A breakdown below $60 000 with high volume will trigger a target decline equal to the length of the pole, i.e., $60 000 โ€“ (000 = $110 000.
๐Ÿป Bearish scenario $60 main)
๐ŸŸงSupport break $10 000
๐ŸŸงFirst target: (000 - )000 $60 levels of 2025$40
๐ŸŸงSecond target $45 full flag completion(: )000 - (000 โ€” possibly ETF will positively influence this zone, and we may not reach it, but risks always exist.
๐ŸŸงSuch a scenario will cancel any talk of a bottom and send BTC into a multi-year downtrend.
๐Ÿ‚ Bullish scenario )alternative$10
For the flag to turn into a reversal pattern, the price needs to:
๐ŸŸงHold above $15 000 with increasing volume
๐ŸŸงThen break the descending trendline (which has been in place since 2024)
๐ŸŸงOnly after that can we talk about a market recovery, but the current flag structure does not favor this.
๐Ÿง  Why Saylor is wrong?
1. Bottom from exhausted sellers: but on the flag, sellers are not exhausted; they are simply waiting for a support breakout.
2. ETF absorbs supply: ETF volumes have been decreasing in recent weeks, and the spot market shows no initiative.
3. "Quantum threat exaggerated" โ€” this statement is also debatable: even IBM and Google admit that in 5โ€“7 years, quantum computers could crack ECDSA, which Bitcoin uses. Denying the risks is to repeat the mistake that the Bitcoin network will never be attacked 51%.
๐Ÿ“Œ Summary
Michael Saylor is a great marketer and hodler, but not a technical analyst. The attached chart shows not a bottom, but a bear flag. As long as the price remains below $75 000, itโ€™s too early to talk about a reversal. A more likely scenario is a retest of (000 and a breakdown downward.
Be cautious: Saylorโ€™s bottom could become a trap for bulls.
