Over the years, there have been different metrics, technicals, and ways in 
which investors have tried to predict the Bitcoin price bottom with each bear 
market. Some of these have reportedly done so with some accuracy, while others 
have seen a deviation. Recently, a pseudonymous crypto analyst who goes by 
@cryptocupra on the X (formerly Twitter) platform has shared their own bottom 
prediction, using a 23-Bar Theory. How Bitcoin Bottoms Go In The Past In the 
post shared on the social media platform, the crypto analyst explained that 
there have been 23 bars that have predicted the bottom of each Bitcoin bear 
cycle. Apparently, these 23 bars have been accurate over the last three 
cycles, and thus, could end up predicting another bottom this time around.

Reveals When To Sell The analyst explains this theory using the Bitcoin 
1-month chart, showing how many monthly bars it takes until the bottom is in. 
Going deep into the past, the crypto analyst points out the first iteration of 
this 23-bar theory taking place back in the 2014 bear market. This 23-month 
period, approximately 2 years, is shown in the analysis to be an expansion 
phase, often acting as a launchpad for the price into the next bull market. 
Counting out the monthly closes, it shows that there was a total of 23 monthly 
bar closes before the bottom was in. Following this, the Bitcoin price 
rebounded, and this move inevitably led to the beginning of the next bull 
market cycle. Then again, the crypto analyst says this repeats itself in the 
2018 bull market. Like in 2014, there were a total of 21-23 monthly bars, and 
once these were complete, the crypto analyst says the bottom was in, and then 
the next rally began. The most recent of these iterations was back in the 2022 
bear market, where the analyst once again points out this theory. They explain 
that the Bitcoin price saw the same 23 bars before the bottom was in and the 
2024-2025 rally began in the months that followed. Related Reading: Recent

analyst believes that this trend is set to repeat itself again. If this is the 
case, then it means that the bottom is in and that Bitcoin has now entered 
into an expansion phase within the 23 bars. If this follows, then it could 
mark the bottom and begin the start of another bull market. According to the 
crypto analyst, history doesn’t lie, and thus, the BTC price is set to go 
parabolic again. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
