Experts Warn of Bitcoin Divergence... Have Retail Investors Been Fooled Again?

▲ Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to rebound after a recent decline, but signs of a bearish divergence—where price movement and technical indicators move in opposite directions—are heightening concerns over a potential further سقوط.

According to crypto media outlet U.Today on February 26 (local time), Bitcoin formed a short consolidation pattern on the chart following recent selling pressure and has begun to show a modest recovery structure. Although the price established a local bottom and attempted an upward move, market momentum has not followed in the same direction. While prices strive to rise, indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are either moving sideways or declining, suggesting that sufficient buying pressure to drive a genuine trend reversal is lacking.

This mismatch between momentum and price action has created a clear divergence in the market, amplifying investor anxiety. From a broader chart perspective, major moving averages remain below Bitcoin’s price and continue to slope downward. This suggests that the current rebound may merely be a temporary recovery within an ongoing bearish structure rather than the beginning of a new bull market. The prevailing analysis indicates that the overall market trend remains in bearish territory.

The absence of strong follow-up buying volume is also cited as a serious concern. There is insufficient evidence that substantial real demand has entered the market during the recent rebound. It is more likely that the rally was driven by short covering or a short squeeze rather than genuine buying interest. Without confirmation of participation from strong market players, it is difficult to guarantee the sustainability of the price increase.

If momentum continues to weaken while prices struggle at key resistance levels, the market may be preparing for another downward wave. From a broader perspective, the divergence signals a critical flaw in Bitcoin’s rebound attempt. At a time when a clear trend reversal confirmation is most needed, Bitcoin appears to be losing energy rather than building strength. Unless momentum improves and the price swiftly reclaims major technical levels, the risk of renewed selling pressure remains high.
