Analyst Cautions Against Going Long Following Bitcoin's Price Decline

In the aftermath of Bitcoin's recent price drop, analyst Tyrex is advising investors to refrain from going long on the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin (BTC) suffered a severe fall of more than 14% according to CoinMarketCap, prompting some to view this as an opportunity to buy the dip. However, Tyrex warns against this approach.

In a post on X dated February 1, 2026, he highlighted that Bitcoin reached a new low around $76,000 on January 31, indicating a bearish breakout. He argued that, based on previous market trends where similar price movements occurred, Bitcoin is unlikely to fully recover back to $85,000. Instead, he anticipates that the price may continue to decline as it seeks to find a lower price equilibrium.

Tyrex pointed to past price actions in May 2021, May 2022, and June 2022, where notable crashes occurred following similar market breakouts. In each instance, Bitcoin did not recover quickly, instead continuing to decline after the initial price drop.

His chart indicated Bitcoin trading above $79,000 at the time of his analysis, but he projected it could soon resume its downward trajectory, aiming for the $75,400 mark—a decline of over 4.5%.

Tyrex noted that a critical support level exists around $74,000 on the weekly chart, which may momentarily prevent further downward movement. He compared this to Ethereum’s crucial support level near $2,100.

Analyst Predicts High Probability of Further BTC Declines

In his analysis, Tyrex shares that given Bitcoin's most recent price drop, the existing structural issues, and historical cycle trends, he anticipates that Bitcoin will retest its recent lows again. With a recovery appearing unlikely, he describes the near-term outlook for BTC as predominantly bearish.

He emphasizes that while the $74,000 support level could be an area for potential long positions, caution is warranted. This level may not be particularly robust, as it is somewhat distant on the weekly chart and could be breached if Bitcoin persists in its downward path.
