At the core of its bearish outlook is its record of predicting cyclical tops and bottoms throughout the Bitcoin …

A recent price recovery in the Bitcoin (BTC) market risks getting erased due to an eerie fractal from 2018. Bitcoin price cycle similarities First spotted by CryptoBullet, an independent market analyst, the fractal shows Bitcoin recreating an inverse head-and-shoulders (IH&S) pattern that preceded its price decline toward $3,100 later in December 2018.

Even though I would say we’re at peak fear. No doubt about it, …
