A popular crypto analyst known as TechDev has observed that Bitcoin’s price trends seem to follow patterns similar to the Nikkei 225, a Japanese stock market index that tracks major companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Sharing his findings on social media, TechDev pointed out that the growth cycles seen in Bitcoin have parallels with those of other assets from different periods, suggesting that such patterns aren’t unique to the cryptocurrency.
