Will Bitcoin Capitulate? is the headline of a recent update. Bitcoin patterns that resemble one another, according to Benjamin Cowen, may indicate a 50% decline from present levels.
I explore remarkable connections that support this theory with a probable bitcoin objective of $9500 by mid-December by delving further into his investigation.
In case you didn't know, the bitcoin cycle reaches its pinnacle every four years. Prices often peak in the fourth quarter, just before a mid-term election (2013, 2017, 2021, 2025, 2029, etc.).
Why do prices surge a year ahead of the midterm elections? I believe the reason is that a split government results when one party loses control of the House or the Senate. A lack of liquidity results in a risk-off climate.
The benchmarks paralleling the 2018 breakdown pattern up to this point are listed below. Expect a post-election collapse to begin in November if the analog holds true.
Following the apex of the 4-year cycle, the price of bitcoin plunges over 70% over a rigorous 5- to 6-month period.
Prices reach their mid-year lows in June, on average, and then consolidate in a triangular shape.
Prices drop in October when political candidates square off; yet, prices discreetly trend upward as elections approach.
In November, a severe post-election collapse starts and lasts for nearly a month.
Note: In 2018, the post-election decrease was around 47%. A $9500 bitcoin aim is implied by a similar result in 2022.
Bitcoin would need to end the triangular pattern and close above the August $25,212 pivot in order to invalidate the aforementioned analog. I would put a low likelihood on a positive conclusion and give a 70% chance on new lows.
