Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (25 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.

"Meanwhile, longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has argued that the move above $72,000 was a 'fakeout, not a breakout.'"
"Klippsten said Bitcoin could fall to $57,000, or even $53,000, before a quick recovery, and could reach around $130,000 ahead of the 2028 halving."
"According to Terpin's comments on the Trade Secrets show, the asset could ultimately fall around '66%' from its October 2025 all-time high of $126,100—implying a move into the 40s."
"Bitcoin needs to move decisively away from the $60,000 region and reclaim $65,000 to improve its technical outlook. While Bitcoin has managed to hold the zone, he said repeated tests weaken support and increase the risk of a breakdown."
"The analysis shows Bitcoin trading just above its historical Realized Price Buy Zone, represented by a blue support band. Previous cycle bottoms formed within or near this area before substantial recoveries. Another indicator is Bitcoin's rising 100-month moving average. The 2022 bear-market bottom formed just above this level, and the current setup appears similar."

"However, he warned that if the support finally breaks and buyers step aside, Bitcoin could quickly fall another 3% to 4% as downside momentum accelerates."
