Analyst: Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a strong reversal, potentially signaling the start of a new bull market cycle.

Crypto analyst Ali Charts stated in a post that two bear market end phases in Bitcoin’s history share a common trait: a strong weekly reversal candlestick that emerges unexpectedly for most market participants, acting as a trend reversal signal. Such rallies typically start with a short squeeze. As prices rise, bearish traders keep adding short positions; as the rally accelerates, these short positions get forced liquidated, further driving prices higher. Data shows Bitcoin posted a 31.98% weekly gain in 2019, a move that helped confirm the end of the bear market and the start of a new uptrend. In January 2023, amid extreme bearish sentiment following the FTX collapse, Bitcoin rallied 24.90% in a single week, defying widespread bearish expectations. A similar move may be unfolding in the current market. Many investors previously predicted Bitcoin would bottom in October based on the four-year cycle theory, but the cryptocurrency has surged from $62,700 to $79,500, notching a 26.81% weekly gain. He believes that if historical patterns repeat, this strong weekly reversal could serve as an early signal that Bitcoin is entering a new uptrend cycle.
