Aaron Dishner of The Better Traders breaks down why Bitcoin’s recent drop may not be the true capitulation bottom, despite classic signals like heavy volume and sharp downside wicks. Looking at past bear markets and on-chain data from Glassnode, Dishner shows that key indicators, including the MVRV-Z score, Puell Multiple, and realized price, have not yet reached the capitulation zones that historically mark cycle lows.
Dishner warns that what many traders view as strong support may actually be “artificial,” pointing to repeated breakdowns where key levels fail one by one. “The reality is that bear markets can last a lot longer than the bulls can hold out hope,” he says. With downside targets at $60K, $49K, and potentially $38,555, he outlines how macro pressure and forced selling from digital asset treasuries could drive the next leg lower.

The trump klan. Already bailed pump dump.. now they are all in on oil futures….
ALL crypto currencies are a scam
Great presentation. Very valid points. I have also said DAT’s may be the next cascading black swan similar to the crypto lending crisis of 2022. I agree with many of the points. Well done.
I’m not a BTC guy but he makes some very interesting points and actually has very reasonable expectations. I suspect that this “crypto winter” will be quite frosty. When gold rallies and btc plummets I imagine quite a few investors will make the switch.
💯 Facts
I believe that a 'hard economy' is actually the best time to build if you have discipline and the right strategy. Most people spend their time complaining, but I believe in execution over excuses. I made a smart move in early 2026, and because I believe in staying the course, I just hit $1M. The momentum is still building, and by the end of this year, it’s going to be massive.
Looking at a past chart, to predict the future…….. ok
