After an early 2019 parabolic rally, Bitcoin<\/a> has spent the last few months locked within a vicious downtrend that\u2019s seen nearly 50% of the crypto asset\u2019s value eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n But after months of sustained selling, crypto analysts have begun to watch for signs a bottom may be forming, and according to one prominent trader, Bitcoin price charts are showing a pattern that holds an \u201cuncanny resemblance\u201d to Bitcoin\u2019s bear market bottoming pattern from the start of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n Nearly one year ago in December 2018, Bitcoin<\/a> price reached its bear market low of $3,150 just a month after critical support at $6,000 gave way, and a violent drop took the crypto asset into the deepest depths of crypto winter.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | <\/strong>Eat My Shorts: Everything You Need To Know About The Bitcoin Bart Pattern<\/strong> <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The leading crypto asset by market cap spent the first three months of the year building a base pattern, giving traders and investors confidence that a bottom could be forming, and the asset would soon return to a bull market.<\/span><\/p>\n Eventually, Bitcoin<\/a> exploded out of that bottom, rallying over 350% until it reached resistance at $14,000, where it was rejected, causing a reversal that has resulted in months of a downtrend. However, the downtrend may soon be coming to an end, as Bitcoin is once again showing signs that a strong base is building, and a reversal could soon be ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, the current price action across crypto markets very closely resembles the price action at Bitcoin\u2019s bear market bottom. According to one crypto trader, the resemblance is \u201cuncanny\u201d and makes \u201csense\u201d that the first major correction after Bitcoin\u2019s first major move up would result in an accumulation period that resembled the initial phase.<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/canteringclark\/status\/70660352?s=21<\/p>\n Each phase\u2019s purpose would be to allow high-wealth, “smart money” investors to load up on the asset at the lowest prices possible before a markup phase begins and the asset\u2019s price is propelled higher and higher \u2013 much like what happened from April through early July.<\/span><\/p>\n Related Reading | Decision Time For Future Of Bitcoin As Crypto Teeters On Bear-Bull Edge\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nBitcoin Price Action Shows Resemblance to Bear Market Bottom<\/h2>\n
