Is bitcoin approaching a decisive turning point? As signs of fatigue accumulate, a new analysis rekindles the specter of an imminent bearish cycle. According to a fractal modeling aligned with historical four-year cycles, October could mark the beginning of a deep correction.

Crypto ETF flows reveal a clear divide between triumphant Bitcoin and struggling Ether. This crypto dynamic reflects a strategic repositioning by investors, strengthening confidence in Bitcoin despite the caution.

In an uncertain economic context, tension rises among investors, divided between the fear of a new drop and the expectation of a reversal.

False alarm or real reversal signal? The question divides analysts and investors, at a time when certainties waver and volatility returns.
