Marmot calls Bitcoin’s $74k rebound a trap, warns bottom still ahead

Bitcoin spiked above $70k. Analyst Marmot says the move is a trap and the bottom isn’t in yet.

He warns of one more sharp dump. He says whales lured buyers above $72–74k before a broader sell-off.

  • Rebound to $74k is a trap; risk of deeper pullback source

  • Not a new bull run; relief rallies often bait entries, then reverse source
  • Bear markets see bull traps that trigger FOMO, then sharp reversals and liquidations source source source
  • He says global liquidity is drying as institutions quietly exit source

He references prior cycle lengths before bottoms. Sideways/drawdown phases stretched ~405, 362, and 376 days before troughs, by his count source.
