That's the message from the price chart, which shows the sharp pull back from the record high of $126,000 on Oct. 8 to recent lows near $106,000, which has left many bulls demoralized, is quietly shaping a classic bullish technical pattern known as a falling wedge.
The falling wedge is characterized by converging downward trendlines that form as selling pressure wanes and the price consolidates in a tightening range. Historically, this pattern precedes upward breakouts, signaling a potential reversal from bearish momentum to renewed buying interest.
The appearance of this pattern in BTC means that the ongoing correction that has spooked traders might be setting the stage for its next leg higher.
If prices rise past the upper boundary of this wedge, currently around $106,000-$107,000, it could confirm a bullish wedge breakout. Such a move would open the door for a rebound toward $126,000 and potentially new records, fueled by recovering momentum and improving market sentiment.
This bullish setup gains support by clear signs of demand resurgence in both the spot market and U.S.-listed spot ETFs.
That said, while falling wedge patterns have a strong historical success rate, they can and do fail. Traders, therefore, should remain vigilant, constantly monitoring price action and volume to confirm the pattern's development.
Further, a potential break below the pivotal $100,000 support level—an important on-chain threshold—since a sustained move below it could trigger a deeper correction, possibly pushing prices toward the next support near $90,000.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
