TOP STORY

Bitcoinā€™s 2024 market resembles the 2019 market: an early uptrend and then a long consolidation period.

Julian Bittel of Global Macro Investor is the latest analyst to claim that.

Why does it matter?

Because when Bitcoinā€™s 2019 consolidation period resolved, it resulted in a significant move.

And the same could happen in 2024.

Up or down?
