\"How<\/p>\n

Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) fell to a four-month low of $74,500 on April 7, and data suggests that the price may not have bottomed yet. <\/p>\n

Investors dumped risk assets after US President Donald Trump doubled down on his plan to impose global tariffs<\/a> over the weekend, triggering a $9.5 trillion wipeout in global equity markets.<\/p>\n

Growing calls for a US recession<\/a> have spooked risk investors while leaving crypto market participants wondering how low can the Bitcoin price go in the near future.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin eyes decline toward “Saylor’s average entry“ level<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin is currently testing a critical technical level—the 50-week exponential moving average (50-week EMA)—which has historically acted as a dividing line between bull and bear phases. <\/p>\n

According to market analyst Ted Pillows<\/a> and numerous other chartists<\/a>, Bitcoin must reclaim the EMA, currently near $77,500, to avoid a deeper correction.<\/p>\n

If BTC fails to close back above it, Pillows warns of a potential decline toward the $69,000–$70,000 range, which aligns with the 2021 cycle highs. A further drop to $67,000, the average entry-level of Strategy’s Michael Saylor<\/a>, also remains a possibility.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin “max pain” target is near $69,000 <\/h2>\n

Bitcoin appeared to have found short-term support at around $74,000, which corresponds to a notable cost-basis cluster where over 50,000 BTC are held. <\/p>\n

Glassnode’s UTXO realized price distribution (URPD) heatmap shows<\/a> this is the first major cost-basis cluster below $80,000. These holders raised their average buy price until March 10, then stopped moving coins—showing confidence, not panic.<\/p>\n

Investors hold around 175,000 BTC in the $74,000–$70,000 range, creating a strong buffer zone. The largest cluster sits at $71,600, with 41,000 BTC concentrated there, making it the likely next support if $74,000 breaks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Glassnode’s Short-Term Holder (STH) realized price bands place the current average STH cost basis at $89,000, with the -1 standard deviation band at $69,000. <\/p>\n

This level has acted as a historical “max pain” zone for short-term investors during pullbacks in previous bull cycles, suggesting the $69,000 level is a floor where weak hands capitulate and long-term investors often step in.<\/p>\n

A $50,000 Bitcoin price target cannot be ruled out<\/h2>\n

Historical patterns reveal Bitcoin entering a prolonged bear market after breaking decisively below the 50-week EMA support. In most cases, such corrections have led the price toward the 200-week EMA, as shown in red circular areas below.<\/p>\n

If the fractal analysis plays out as intended, Bitcoin’s price target in the event of a 50-week EMA breakdown appears to be around $50,000, aligning with the 200-week EMA’s current positioning.<\/p>\n
