On August 6, well-known analyst Killa said in a post that Bitcoin has rallied early this month as he anticipated, and the asset is now approaching the 'fifth pivot point' — a level he says deserves close attention. Over the past roughly 18 months, taking the opposite side of the prevailing market narrative during this phase has repeatedly captured counter-moves of about 3% to 4%, he noted. If that historical pattern continues to hold, BTC could see some partial de-risking behavior after passing this pivot point. Killa, however, warned that last time price did drop as expected, but because Bitcoin was stuck in a complex range, the move never became a clean one-way decline. Instead, the market kept consolidating until the next pivot point. He said historical tendencies still point toward contrarian trading, but the current environment is complex, with price structure and timing carrying equal weight.
Bitcoin is closing in on a 'fifth pivot point,' and the analyst who flagged that threshold expects some measure of de-risking to follow — if recent history is any guide.
Killa, a well-known crypto analyst, posted on August 6 that BTC pushed higher early this month, matching his earlier call. The token is now approaching the fifth pivot point, a stage he says is worth watching closely.
The reasoning is empirical. Over the past 18 months or so, fading the dominant market narrative during this phase has produced counter-trend moves of roughly 3% to 4%, according to Killa. If the same pattern holds, Bitcoin could experience some partial de-risking once it clears the pivot.
Not that the process is always straightforward. Killa recalled that last time, price did fall as predicted, but Bitcoin was inside a messy range, so the decline never became a clean one-way move. Instead, the market churned sideways until it reached the next pivot point.
He still leans contrarian. But with the environment more complicated, Killa stressed that price structure and timing matter just as much as the historical edge.
