🚨🔥💥 Bitcoin Monthly: Everything Points to Additional Growth
After November 2024, Bitcoin only closed once below $80,000 on the monthly timeframe, February 2026, and this month managed to move back above it.
In April 2025 Bitcoin wicked briefly below $80,000 after opening at $82,565. The month closed at a price of $94,218 to end with a very strong bullish candle. Support was found right above the March 2024 high of $73,757.
"Right above support" is always a very good development and the market followed with sustained bullish action. Something similar happened this year.
February 2026 challenged EMA55 on a wick but the session ended up closing right above it. The session closed below the highs from November 2021 and March 2024 but these were quickly recovered.
Bitcoin managed to move and close above at least four major resistance levels one after the other which would be impossible on bearish market conditions. Strong bullish conditions are needed for resistance to break over and over.
When Bitcoin peaked in March 2024, the action turned green red, green red, green red. Never green, green, green. When Bitcoin goes red, red, red or green, green, green, we have a trend. When it goes, it goes; regardless of the direction.
While May is still early, Bitcoin is now trading three consecutive months green. It happened in late 2023, late 2024 and mid-2025—always a strong advance.
Strong bullish conditions might not always be positive, it depends on the context. From a strong uptrend, bearish potential can develop. If Bitcoin enters a price discovery phase and grows straight for five months, many caution signals can start to appear.
The situation now is not such. Bitcoin is growing after hitting long-term support, EMA55 and the levels previously mentioned. Bitcoin stopped growing July 2025, after eight months of bearish action we are finally seeing some relief and green.
February was fully red. The bullish action we saw in February was a market reaction to sellers closing their short positions. After the initial reaction, Bitcoin moved lower until 28-Feb when the war between USA/Israel and Iran got started. Growth continued until mid-March and then a retrace ending late March. After this final higher low, we have sustained growth.
I am describing growth after a major low, like August 2024 or November 2022. Bitcoin can easily close several more months green then turn sideways. Similar to the period between April - September 2023.
Notice the dates. Bitcoin turned bullish September - October 2023. Bitcoin turned bearish September - October 2025. Then we all know about December 2017 vs December 2018, then the more recent November 2021 vs November 2022. I did a whole section about this on the AIUSDT (Sleepless AI) article, it has to do with astrology. In this case, financial astrology.
Bitcoin is currently trading above the previous month high, which is extremely bullish.
For the market to turn bearish, we would need to see a move and close below $75,700 weekly, followed by another move below $73,800. This would be bad. Still, if Bitcoin trades above $69,000, $65,000 and even $60,000 we are seeing long-term consolidation above support.
Currently, everything points to additional growth.
