#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Bitcoin closed up 2% in March, marking the first monthly gain in six months. Similar market conditions also occurred in 2018/2019, leading to a rebound of over 316% in Bitcoin's price within five months.
Bitcoin's price faces strong resistance between $70,000 and $72,000, where key trend lines converge. After several months of downward trends, the price has experienced a 300% increase.
Historical price data shows that after five consecutive months of decline, Bitcoin closed up 2% in March, marking the first positive month in six months.
Economic momentum may shift, potentially leading to a sustained recovery, as seen in previous economic cycles.
The last time this happened was in 2018/2019, when Bitcoin closed higher in February 2019 after six months of decline, resulting in a reversal over the next five months with returns exceeding 300%, recovering from the 2018 bear market. The last time Bitcoin declined for six consecutive months, it then rose for five months straight! If history repeats, this reversal could continue into April, indicating that Bitcoin may have bottomed out around $60,000. Large price swings in Bitcoin during April are a well-known pattern.
Since 2013, over the past 13 years, the stock market has risen in April 8 times, with an average return of about 12.2%. However, Bitcoin's performance in April often opposes its March trend; in the past 13 years, this has been the case nine times.
In recent years, Bitcoin has experienced declines in April after closing higher in March. Between 2021 and 2024, this has happened three-quarters of the time.
Therefore, although the recent decline over the past few months suggests a rebound is imminent, data indicates that Bitcoin's price could also decline in April.
BTC price rose 2.5% today, trading at $68,470, with resistance levels between $69,000 and $70,000 still in place. Analysts expect Bitcoin to continue in a range-bound pattern for a longer period and highlight key price levels to watch for a breakout. These include the supply zone between $70,000 and $72,000, aligned with the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), 50-day exponential moving average (EMA), and the weekly to monthly cost basis.
According to Glassnode’s cost basis distribution data, investors have also purchased about 650,000 BTC here, indicating potential sell pressure points. Breaking through this level could push BTC/USD back to highs around $76,000 and eventually challenge the psychological $80,000 mark.
In April, altcoins also experienced a broad rally, mainly a rebound rather than a reversal. Altcoins tend to follow the trend, so traders should avoid making decisions based on feelings or assumptions that a rise means an imminent fall. Market movements often defy expectations; after a rally, there can be a second or even third wave of gains, as seen today with STO, NOM, and others.
