In a recent video update, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) may not initiate a rally for several months.
Cowen points to historical patterns indicating BTC could remain in a downtrend until September or October before potentially reversing higher.
Reflecting on BTC’s 2019 performance, Cowen highlights that it took approximately 202 days for Bitcoin to break out of a similar downtrend.
Given BTC’s current 114-day downtrend, he speculates a breakout could occur around October, though he acknowledges this scenario may not replicate precisely.
Cowen emphasizes the significance of BTC’s current trendline, noting similarities to 2019 when Bitcoin tested the trendline multiple times before ultimately breaking above it.
He advises viewers to consider these historical patterns while assessing Bitcoin’s current market behavior.
At the time of writing BTC is trading at $56,819, confirming today’s price slump.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
