Is Bitcoin in a bear market or a bull market correction?
Bitcoin has fallen sharply over the past 30 days, falling from a record high of 109k to a low of 77k this week, a level that was last seen in November last year. This puts losses at almost 30%. Many investors fear a bear market, which is typically measured by a drop of 20% from a recent high in stock indices. However, a 30% decline in crypto doesn’t automatically mean that it has entered a bear market, given the high levels of volatility that are often seen in crypto pricing, and an even deeper selloff could still be on the cards.

Rejoice! The bear market might be over. That’s the main thesis behind July’s “The Bitcoin Monthly” report. “Because bitcoin’s price did not rise parabolically during the 2021 bull market, its bear market correction could be over,” ARK reasons. And it makes sense, the numbers seem to suggest it, and it feels like it. However, are we fooling ourselves? Is ARK’s reasoning wishful thinking? Let’s examine the data and see what it tells us.

Following up on the weekend look at Bitcoin’s long term price chart, we will look again today at the long term (8 day candle) chart of BTC, per Kraken. Over the weekend we looked at a Bull Setup. As we saw, that setup suggests a bull move that will likely last several more months. But of course, it goes without saying that there are both bulls and bears in the market at pretty much any given moment. I expect that is well understood by everyone reading this article.
