$BTC Bitcoin is going through a long and painful cooling-off phase — one that many investors are quick to label a “crash.” But according to macro analyst Lyn Alden, what’s happening now isn’t a collapse… it’s a deep stagnation fueled by three forces that continue draining excitement from the market and pushing the world’s largest cryptocurrency downward.

Alden points out that Bitcoin hit $100,000 in November of last year, but failed to sustain momentum. After almost a full year of sideways chop, BTC slipped again — now trading below the levels seen at the end of 2024. For her, this extended flatline says far more about the true state of the market than any short-term spikes or selloffs.#BitcoinPriceWatch
