Is This Bitcoin Bear Market Rally Different From The Rest? The Answer May Surprise You

Bitcoin is trading below $78,000 and the historical playbook says this rally isn't over — but neither is the bear market.

Analyst Benjamin Cowen mapped the current cycle against 2018 and 2022: both produced sharp countertrend rallies lasting 19 to 25 weeks before the next major breakdown, and the current cycle is only 14 weeks in.

The 200-day moving average capped both prior bear market bounces at the same level it just rejected Bitcoin at $82,400; the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement near $85,000 is the next ceiling if bulls push higher.

June is the critical month — it marked a major low in 2018 and the cycle low in 2022, meaning Bitcoin either sets a short-term high before another leg down or carves a temporary bottom before weakness returns into October.

Michael Saylor Ups Bitcoin Holdings To 4% Of Supply As Strategy Buys For $2 Billion

Michael Saylor dropped "Big dot energy" on Sunday — and delivered:

Strategy bought another 24,869 Bitcoin for $2.01 billion, pushing total holdings past 843,000 BTC and crossing 4% of Bitcoin's entire supply, all while the Trump family quietly disclosed they bought MSTR shares in Q1 and the company retired $1.5 billion in convertible debt at a discount.
