Now the market will follow three possible paths:

1) Lateralization (the most common)

It occurs when the drop was a cleansing movement, not a collapse.

The market needs time, not price.

What happens in this phase:

• volatility decreases

• volume falls

• news loses effect

• weak hands exit

• strong hands accumulate

It is the digestion phase. Without it, new highs tend to fail.

2) Continuation of the decline (less common, but dangerous)

It occurs when:

• the cause of the decline is still active

• here is a systemic event (crisis, forced liquidation, credit)

• structural supports are lost with volume

Here there is no lateralization because the market has not yet found equilibrium.

3) Rapid reversal (rare)

It only happens when:

• a decline was excessive and abrupt

• there was clear capitulation

• institutional liquidity enters visibly

It is an exception, not a rule.

Practical rule

• Decline due to exhaustion → lateralizes

• Decline due to systemic panic → continues

• Decline due to technical exaggeration → rebounds

In BTC, historically:

• normal cycle declines almost always lead to lateralization

• event declines (e.g., global crisis, major crash) deviate from the pattern

Objective conclusion

Lateralization is not guaranteed, but it is statistically the most likely outcome after a decline that did not destroy the macro structure.

When the market moves sideways, it is not indecisive.

It is resolving the past before allowing the future. #btc $BTC #allin
