Bitcoin's recent price drop from $126,000 to $106,000 is forming a bullish falling wedge pattern.
Nov 12, 2025, 1:52 p.m.
This is a technical analysis post by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole.
Bitcoin BTC$105,042.98 is down but not out and may be setting the stage for a rally to new highs above $126,000.
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.
