Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noticed a Bitcoin bearish signal that has historically “predicted every major crash.”
The TD Sequential just gave a quarterly sell signal. This is a rare warning,” Martinez said. “If it plays like before, Bitcoin can drop below $40,000.
The bold prediction didn’t go too well with users on X, many of whom dismissed his findings.
Note that the TD Sequential indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify potential price reversals and exhaustion patterns.
Martinez also assessed Ethereum’s trajectory, sensing optimism about the asset.
“But let’s be real: I expect more chop until we get a sustained close outside the $2,227–$3,385 range,” he added.
