Bitcoin BTC/USD continues its climb toward $100,000, but traders are adopting cautious approaches to prepare for potential corrections.
What Happened: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez observed a sell signal on Bitcoin's 4-hour chart, indicating a possible brief correction to $97,085.
However, a candlestick close above $100,470 could invalidate this bearish setup and push BTC to $102,656 or $104,343.
In another tweet, Martinez shared his strategy for protecting capital during Bitcoin’s next bear market. Predicting a peak between $173,779 and $461,862 by October 2025, he suggests:
- Selling 25% of holdings between $173,000 – $200,000.
- Selling 30% between $200,000 – $300,000.
- Selling another 30% between $300,000 – $400,000.
- Selling the final 15% if BTC surpasses $400,000.
Additionally, Martinez advises traders to employ a 15%-20% trailing stop-loss after Bitcoin reaches $170,000. He underscores a strict deadline: "If Oct 2025 hits, sell—no matter what."
