The Bitcoin (BTC) price is currently experiencing a downside deviation that could last nearly two months, according to popular analyst Rekt Capital.
The analyst wrote in an Aug. 3 X post:“Bitcoin has returned to the Range Low area, with scope still for additional downside deviation in the near future. And currently, at ~110 days after the Halving, Bitcoin is slowly getting closer to its historical breakout point of 150-160 days after the Halving.”BTC/USD, 1-week chart. Source: Rekt Capital
Bitcoin price briefly crashed below $50,000 on Aug. 5 after the Bank of Japan announced that it was raising its interest rate from 0% to 0.25%.
Japan’s decision had a direct impact on the United States stock market and Bitcoin price as well, as traders borrowed Japanese yen at low interest rates to buy assets in the US market.
The crypto market experienced a $510 billion loss in total market capitalization, marking the biggest three-day sell-off in over a year.

Despite the gloomy outlook, an emerging bullish chart pattern is inspiring more optimism among crypto holders.
Bitcoin price could see a breakout due to an emerging bull flag — a bullish chart pattern that is used to spot upcoming rallies — according to popular analyst Satoshi Flipper, who wrote in an Aug. 4 X post:“The most epic bull flag in $BTC history has been forming for 7 months now, imagine being upset about this.”Bitcoin bull flag on the daily chart.

Bitcoin also seems to be forming a bull flag on the monthly chart, according to crypto analyst Elja, who wrote in an Aug. 4 X post:“BTC giant bull flag. The Bitcoin breakout pump will be legendary.”Bitcoin bull flag, monthly chart. Source: Elja
However, in the shorter term, Bitcoin’s downtrend could potentially extend to the $42,000 mark, according to Alex Kuptsikevich, senior market analyst at FXPro.
The analyst told Cointelegraph:“At its lowest point, Bitcoin dipped below its 50-week moving average. Without strong buyer support right now, it goes even lower, and it would trigger an even more active sell-off as it did in late 2021 and early 2022. If it doesn’t hold either, it’s worth preparing for a failure toward $42,000.”
