Bitcoin May Be in a Bear Trap Before Next Surge, Analyst Says
Crypto analyst TechDev suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets may be experiencing a significant bear trap before a potential upward move.
TechDev shared a chart illustrating Bitcoin’s market cycles. He describes the current phase as a “bear trap,” which he believes will be followed by phases of renewed optimism, fear of missing out (FOMO), and euphoria before reaching a peak and entering a bull trap.

TechDev also pointed out that the dominance of USDT in the crypto market appears bearish, indicating that stablecoins may soon be exchanged in large volumes for other digital assets, potentially driving up prices.
Comparing Bitcoin’s price trends to the Nikkei 225, Japan’s major stock index, TechDev speculates that Bitcoin could reach as high as $760,000 between 2028 and 2029 before facing a prolonged bear market, similar to the Nikkei’s performance in the 1990s.
