Please know that I will combine technical analysis, historical chart patterns, fundamental factors of #Bitcoin scarcity, and seasonal patterns in the next tweets. The future is unpredictable. Profits are not guaranteed. Losses are inevitable.
Ready? Let's roll👇
2/ As the #Bitcoin prices retraced ~20% from the peak, the 200-day mean trend moves sideways, regardless of the recent price drop. This confirms that the local breakdown of $21500 does not impact the long-term trend shift. Instead, it is a casual correction following a 65% surge.
3/ Overall, until proven wrong, $BTC is in a long-term accumulation zone within the $15500-25200 zone, a horizontal movement full of indecisive price action.
Local slides toward $18500 are possible without invalidating the dominant upward tendency.
4/ Full transparency: my trend system is cashed, and I hold no particular stake for $BTC to go up now. There's little bias.
The HTF Trailer trend indicator flashed a sell signal at $23700. The bears are in charge until the $21700 resistance is reclaimed.
5/ Locally, the magical $20000 level remains the main support level. Traders will often frame their minds at such round numbers, which are easy to remember.
It also coincides with the 200-day mean support, giving traders a reason for magical thinking (buy the support).
6/ In fear, traders act irrationally, falling for recency, cognitive dissonance, loss aversion, hindsight, and self-attribution to defend their egos. When markets move up, it’s their genius. When it dips, they’ll blame easy outside targets, politicians, influencers, or weather.
7/ The 9-year seasonal review suggests that March is consistently a bearish and losing month. With -64.39% annualized return and only 33.33% winning trades, #BTC investors should not put much trust in this month being bullish.
8/ On the contrary, the 11-year “Sell in May and Go Away” pattern proves strongly favorable odds for traders waiting to bid on the bullish April-May odds. The annualized return of +202.53% with over 72% winning trades gives an optimistic outlook for the next two months.
However,
9/ Following a sharp increase in mining difficulty over the last few weeks, the average production costs of a #Bitcoin block have jumped over $27000.
That puts miners under severe pressure again, as $BTC trades closer to $20000.
10/ Overall, #Bitcoin is now exposed to selling pressures, reinforced by the #SVBCollapse, inducing fears around the de-pegging of USDC.
Upon individual risk preferences, it is recommended not to be exposed to big investment risks ahead of the more bullish April-May season.
11/ On a more personal note, I found the $20000 support area attractive enough to add $50000 worth of $BTC to my long-term holdings.
My main trading account is waiting in cash until a trend breakout signal is confirmed by abnormal volatility.
13/ You might also want to watch this $BTC video explanation for why you should not ignore the long-term trends.
14/ Even though $BTC has dropped $2000 since this video was published, the long-term trend shift suggests it is no longer the old 2022 bear. Learn why👇

1/ Before we roll, you might want to be aware that I will review technical concepts, historical patterns, fundamental scarcity of #Bitcoin, and seasonality in the next tweets. Still, the future is unknown and chaotic. Profits are not guaranteed. Losses are inevitable.
Let's go👇
2/ Seasonal patterns.
Let's start by acknowledging that seasonality is an exciting phenomenon, often driven by external factors like weather seasons or presidential cycles.
When a pattern (e.g. hot summers) appears consistently over hundreds of years, it's not random.
From a technical standpoint, the bear market is over.
#Bitcoin sees a persistent trend shift confirmed by price percentage traveled, volume spikes, above-the-average volatility, time above the 200-day trend, and improved breadth.
In 2023, look up.
Thanks for comments! It seems there are some myths to be debunked to have a clear technical view if you were to speculate about the #Bitcoin future. To help you out, I’ll create a thread highlighting key observations and guidelines in the coming hours below. Follow and tune in👇

Most traders should pick only one trading style. If want to learn profitable trade tactics, see this guide👇🧵
1. Planning for your trading career should always start with the cardinal question - WHY.
Ask yourself WHY you want to become a trader.
How's that so?
