Bitcoin price was slashed in half during the month of May, leaving today as the last day for bulls to make a stand and undo the worst monthly on record. Even if the blood stain is left behind on the price chart for good, that doesn’t mean bulls still can’t pull off an upset and push prices higher. Here are five signs that Bitcoin price has bottomed out, or will be soon. The Signals Showing The Bitcoin Bottom Is Near Just as extreme bullish sentiment and exuberance around mid-April was the local top of the 2021 rally so far, the current level could also act as the bottom now that sentiment has shift to the polar opposite.

The crypto market is in fierce debate: is the top of the Bitcoin bull market in? Bears salivating for cheaper coins say yes, while bulls hell bent on seeing through stock-to-flow predictions say otherwise. But which is it? A secondary conflict surrounds the topic: “if that was a top, it sure doesn’t look like one.” And while that is indeed true, don’t have a cow, man. We’re about to explain why the most recent top ushered in the return of Bart Simpson, along with why the move likely happened the way it did. “If This Is The Top In Bitcoin, It Doesn’t Look Like A Top” Even if you aren’t a pro at technical analysis and couldn’t read a chart if your life depended on it, it is pretty clear that tops and bottoms come to a sharp point most of the time – signaling a rebound is ahead and the violence left behind. Rounded bottoms do commonly appear but are a slow grind of a process and tend to stretch across a long timeframe.

Where is the blow-off phase? Where is the bearish retest? What type of pattern even is this? All of these questions are used as firepower to make an argument that this isn’t a top. The spiky pattern with several sharp peaks into resistance instead looks like the top of the head of a famous cartoon character: Bart Simpson. Bart moves are back in BTC | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com via Twitter I’m Bart Simpson, Who The Hell Are You? The character Bartholomew JoJo Simpson, or Bart for short, first appeared on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 as a short. A dedicated show first aired in 1989 and it has been running ever since. The animated character is a TV icon, and the show is a pop culture phenomenon that’s adored by millions. So why then, when Bart appears on the Bitcoin price chart do crypto traders get so upset? Related Reading | Eat My Shorts: Everything You Need To Know About The Bitcoin Bart Pattern “Bart moves” as the community calls them, result from low liquidity.

Bitcoin at more than a trillion dollar market cap tames the overall liquidity argument, but when order books are thin because everyone is holding, a whale can just as easily make waves as we’ve recently seen. This high timeframe Bart move is the largest on record, and shows that more coins being exchanged are necessary to further price appreciation. Order books should be stacked for further upside. For now, the cryptocurrency is back to being a whale’s playground – either until buying or selling picks up to an extreme. Featured image from iStockPhoto, Charts from TradingView.com

Bitcoin price is still below $40,000, after just weeks ago trading at over $64,000 per coin. The selloff shocked market participants of all sizes, prompting fears that the bull market is now over and a bear phase is next. A trader who predicted this recent collapse months in advance using high timeframe technical analysis, now fears that a bear market could follow. But it all comes down to the pivotal June monthly close. Here’s why. Bitcoin At Risk Of Bear Market If Bulls Can’t Close June At New Highs When it comes to technical analysis, the highest timeframes offer the most dominant signals. This means that regardless of what’s going on on daily or shorter timeframes, if the weekly, monthly, or higher say the trend is up, that’s the direction the market heads. Reversals have to begin on the smallest timeframes, however, it is within the high timeframe charts where the earliest warning signs are visible. This is no different for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any financial asset or cryptocurrency.

The signal confirmed and the top cryptocurrency dropped by more than 50% in its worst monthly candle on record. Bulls can undo the damage done and prevent an evening star pattern from forming on the monthly if they can close May above $45,000. However, it is the June close that would also finalize the five-month candle above.

And could that expectation cause the bear market to be the worst on record as investors finally give up on the dream? Anything is possible, but bulls have a little over a month to take Bitcoin to such highs, or else the RSI could turn down and this bearish signal could confirm.

Bitcoin price collapsed by more than 50% from its recent highs set only one month ago. The sharp decline now represents that largest drop in the history of the cryptocurrency – but there’s still several days left for the monthly candle to close.

Why Bitcoin Bulls Were Blindside By The Biggest Monthly Selloff Ever Bitcoin price was in an uptrend for over a year, capped off by the introduction of Coinbase Global on the Nasdaq stock market. Exuberance at the time was as high, driven by a potential “new paradigm” in crypto.

Evening Star Pattern: Can Crypto Bulls Undo The Damage Done? This also means that bulls have a chance to undo the devastating candlestick pattern that’s been left on the price chart of Bitcoin. A slow month in April with very little movement resulted in a red doji candle at the height of an uptrend, followed by an enormous showing by bears. The pattern is called an “evening star pattern” and is a reversal of epic proportions, often signaling more red to follow. However, if bulls can leave a wick behind measuring roughly 50% of the red candle, it can also be quite a statement. Bulls have to close above here to undo the pattern | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com If Bitcoin price can close back the monthly candle above around $45,000 the evening star pattern will be defended for now.
