Bear Market Over Early - by @edicted
Crypto-focused blog post arguing that Bitcoin has ended its bear market in 2026. The author recounts a vacation-induced price spike to around $80k, compares it to a previous 25% rally from $4k to $5k, and suggests a potential continued rally or consolidation. They highlight technicals such as a recent 25/100 golden cross, a support level near $58k, and proximity to MA(200) around $69,420. The post outlines a four-year cycle narrative (2027: maximalist, 2028: new narrative, 2029: bull) and discusses factors like altcoins vs ETH performance, AI-driven narratives, and potential trading strategies (e.g., leveraging in September). The author cautions that September could bring a flat or sideways market rather than a further pump and predicts range-bound movement between roughly $77k-$85k or a dip to higher moving averages before year-end.
