The "death zone," a term borrowed from mountaineering, refers to altitudes above 8,000 meters (26,247 feet), where oxygen is insufficient to sustain human life for long periods. It’s not necessarily the summit, but the environment becomes increasingly dangerous, especially for climbers facing exhaustion, often leading to severe consequences. Similarly, while we’re not suggesting that Bitcoin has reached its ultimate peak, the market is approaching a critical phase. Some of the indicators we monitor suggest that the "air" is getting thinner, signaling heightened caution as momentum begins to wane.

Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has traded within a tight range, with last week’s price action briefly testing both the upper and lower bounds of this range, closing right in the middle of the range.
