Crypto analyst Merlijn has described the Bitcoin price crash to $91,000 as a major bear trap as optimism returns to the market. The flagship crypto had dropped to this level following a wave of weekend sell-offs but has since recovered above the psychological $100,000 level.  Bitcoin Price Crash To $91,000 Termed “Biggest Bear Trap”


In an X post, Merlijn described the Bitcoin price crash to $91,000 as the “biggest bear trap of this cycle.” The analyst noted that this happened in the 2017 and 2021 bull runs and has now occurred in this 2025 bull cycle. He is optimistic that Bitcoin and other crypto are well primed to rally to new highs, remarking that every major bull run had a final bear trap before sending it.  Related Reading Bitcoin Price Aims For $150,000-$170,000 With Wave Formation, Here Are The Details 1 week ago


The Bitcoin price had crashed to $91,000following a wave of sell-offs, which was sparked by Donald Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China. This raised concerns about a trade war as Mexico and Canada moved to announce tariffs on imports from the US in retaliation. However, this turned out to be a bear trap, as BTC quickly reversed its weekend loss on Monday.  BTC sees biggest bear trap | Source: Merlijn on X


The Bitcoin price reclaimed $100,000 as the US, Mexico, and Canada agreed to a one-month pause on these tariffs. The rally to the psychological $100,000 level has again sparked optimism in the crypto market, especially with altcoins rebounding alongside the flagship crypto. Merlijn warned market participants that they can either choose to get shaken out or be positioned for the biggest move yet.


Merlijn also shared a chart that showed that the bull cycle is far from over. Based on the chart, the Bitcoin price will still go through the renewed optimism, FOMO, and Euphoria phase before it tops in this cycle.  What’s Next For BTC?


In an X post, crypto analyst Rekt Capitalstated that the Bitcoin price needs to record a daily close above $101,000 and retest it successfully to reclaim it into support. He added that a successful reclaim of this price level could lead to an uptrend continuation, with BTC rallying to around $103,000. Based on the accompanying chart he shared, the next crucial resistance for the Bitcoin price is around $106,148.

Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto asserted that Bitcoin’s bull marketis still intact. According to him, the bullish trend remains valid as long as BTC holds a monthly close above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. In an X post, he highlighted a continuation pattern that could send the Bitcoin price as high as $117,000 in the short term. 


At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $99,500, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to datafrom CoinMarketCap. BTC trading at $99,250 on the 1D chart | Source: BTCUSDT on Tradingview.com Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
