A closely followed crypto strategist believes that Bitcoin ( BTC ) is on the verge of a pullback after facing resistance at a key level.

Analyst Justin Bennett tells his 115,600 followers on the social media platform X that Bitcoin may be forming a bear flag pattern and decline more than 7% of its current value.

Bearish flag patterns are used in technical analysis to forecast abrupt moves to the downside. They are formed when price consolidates upwards after a strong downtrend, but fails to break a key support level.

“Here’s a different perspective of BTC with the same conclusion: April trend line break plus failure to hold $106,600 plus a potential bear flag below resistance. $97,000-$98,000 is the objective. $106,600-$106,800 is my invalidation. Simple.”

However, the analyst says Bitcoin may not dip below six figures if the stock market continues to rally, based on BTC’s historic correlation with stocks.

“The big wildcard with any bearish crypto stance is the US stock market. Without a pullback there, you have to wonder if we’ll get a further pullback here. Time will tell.”

Lastly, the analyst says Bitcoin is flashing bearish based on the whale versus retail delta indicator (WRD), which gauges whether whales or retail traders are more bullish. A higher value means more whales are longer Bitcoin than retail traders.

The declining WRD value is bearish for Bitcoin since whales tend to be a better predictor of the market direction.

“Not a great sign for Bitcoin. The Hyblock Capital whale versus retail delta was trending sideways to slightly higher, but is back to trending lower again. Translation: whales are once again increasing their BTC short exposure versus retail.”
