The monthly BTC chart on Optimized Trend has called every bear market perfectly since inception.
I won’t sugarcoat it — it has just turned down for the first time since December 1st, 2021. If that signal holds, it suggests we never truly entered a real bull market this cycle; it simply lasted a bit longer than usual.
My odds we are now in a Bitcoin Bear Market are now 70% give this indicator... last week it was 30% - and I am very happy to be wrong on this one.
Back in 2023, my bull target was $119K, and while price got there, I didn’t sell. I don’t hold a lot of Bitcoin, and what I do have is locked away, so I can’t touch it even if I wanted to.
I wish I had better news… but this is where we stand. Everything is getting hammered, and this is shaping up to be the strangest Q4 I’ve ever seen.
