Markus Thielen, research director of 10x Research, said that Bitcoin may repeat the trend of 2024, entering a long period of consolidation after hitting a historical high. He pointed out that the technical chart of Bitcoin currently shows a "high-level tight flag" pattern, which is usually considered a bullish continuation pattern, but the current structure shows some signs of weakness, indicating that the market is in an uncertain state rather than simply consolidating in a bullish manner.
