Another simple study based on the comparison of the current (2018/ 19) bear market with the previous one (2014/ 15).
After 442 days from its respective All Time High, the 2014/ 15 bear market broke sideways from its 1W Channel Down and never crossed the January bottom again. That break-out was the confirmation of the bear market's bottom and the start of a monthly consolidation period (accumulation/ distribution phase).
After 442 days from its respective All Time High, the 2018/ 19 bear market is close to breaking its 1W Channel Down sideways. The bottom of the current bear market has been so far priced in December.
Will this time the sideways break out signal the end of the bear market, the pricing of the bottom, and the start of another multi month consolidation period (accumulation/ distribution phase)?
See our previous studies on the pricing of the bottom, the consolidation phase and Bitcoin's market cycles' phases in general:
