BEARISH 📉 : Bitcoin Nears Death Cross That Preceded Final Bear Market Legs

An analyst highlights a potential "death cross" on Bitcoin's 3-day chart, where the 50-day SMA may cross below the 200-day SMA. This pattern historically signals bearish trends.

  • Previous death crosses in 2014, 2018, and 2022 led to price declines of 52.19%, 50.56%, and 45.91%, respectively, marking bear market bottoms.
  • The current trend shows narrowing distance between the SMAs, with a potential crossover by February 27th.
  • Bitcoin's recent price decline has contributed to this convergence.
