Just noticed something interesting about bitcoin bear markets. There's this one simple indicator that's been nailing the market bottom call every single time since 2015, and honestly it's pretty wild how consistent it's been.
Think about it - every major bear market cycle we've seen over the past decade, this indicator has basically flagged the exact turning point. Whether it was the 2018 crash, the 2020 correction, or the 2022 bloodbath, the pattern held up. It's one of those things that makes you wonder why more people aren't paying attention to it.
The crazy part? Right now it still hasn't flashed the signal. We're sitting here in 2026 with BTC around 81K, and this indicator that's been so reliable for spotting market bottoms is just... quiet. No signal yet. Which tells you something about where we might be in this cycle.
I've been following this for years and it's genuinely one of the most underrated tools for timing market bottoms. Every bear market has validated it, and the fact that it hasn't triggered this time around is actually pretty telling. Either we're not at the bottom yet, or we're in completely uncharted territory.
Anyone else tracking this indicator? Would be curious if people are actually using it to position for the next market bottom or if it's just flying under the radar.
