Bitcoin’s recent dip has traders panicking about whether the cycle is over. Ivan on Tech argues this weakness is temporary, pointing to October as the real test.

Key Highlights:
  • Outlook: Ivan stays bullish, saying the lower highs look bad on the surface but are common before Q4 rallies. He expects Bitcoin to surprise to the upside within weeks.

  • Bitcoin is down just 10% from $124K highs, which Ivan calls normal volatility, not the end of the cycle.

  • He highlights seasonality: September often looks weak, followed by explosive October moves in past cycles.

  • Altcoin focus: Aster is surging with CZ backing, creating new competition for Hyperliquid. Avalanche is gaining momentum with strong narratives and whale longs, while AI projects like ZeroG are also trending.

  • Risks: If Bitcoin fails to rally by late October and slips toward $105K, Ivan says concern would be justified. Until then, panic-selling risks missing the Q4 pump.

Bottom line: Ivan frames the dip as a “solid flush but not the end.” He expects October to kick off another leg higher, catching bearish traders off guard.
