Bitcoin is showing a monthly momentum signal that has appeared near several 
major cycle lows, which raises the possibility that the current correction is 
entering its final stage. The setup is based on the monthly logarithmic MACD 
histogram, where previous Bitcoin bottoms formed only when the red bars began 
fading for at least two straight months. The same signal may now be forming 
again, but there is one important catch. Bitcoin MACD Repeating Bottom Pattern 
The technical outlook in question is based on the monthly candlestick 
timeframe chart, but May has not closed yet, and Bitcoin is still trading in a 
fragile zone below $76,000 after failing to hold above the $80,000 region, 
which it broke above earlier in the month. Technical analysis done by crypto 
analyst Washigorira focuses on a simple but historically significant feature 
that involves two consecutive lighter red bars on Bitcoin’s monthly 
logarithmic MACD histogram. In past cycles, the darker red histogram bars 
showed expanding bearish momentum, while the lighter red bars showed that the 
downside pressure was beginning to weaken. This same pattern appeared around 
previous Bitcoin bottoming phases. The Bitcoin monthly candlestick chart, 
shown below, points to similar monthly MACD transitions in 2012, the 2015 bear 
market bottom, the 2019 cycle reset, and the late 2022 to early 2023 recovery 
phase. In each case, Bitcoin did not immediately explode higher the moment the 
first lighter red bar appeared, but the signal showed that sellers were losing 
control on the monthly timeframe. The May Close Is The Real Signal The same 
configuration now appears to be forming again. Bitcoin’s monthly MACD 
histogram turned deep red in September 2025, but April 2026 delivered the 
first lighter red bar since that flip, indicating that bearish momentum had 
started to ease. May is in progress and has not yet printed its final reading. 
If the month closes with a second consecutive lighter bar, the pattern will 
have repeated again, and Bitcoin’s bottom may already be in. “If history 
rhymes, the worst of the downside may already be behind us,” WashiGorira 
noted. On the other hand, a weak close that creates a deep red histogram again 
would delay the signal and keep the bear case alive. Bitcoin’s short-term 
price action is stuck between relief and weakness, and it is currently unclear 
how May will close. The cryptocurrency has held above the lower panic levels 
at $74,000 for now, but it has struggled to reclaim the $80,000 zone in May. 
Bitcoin is currently struggling with outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs and low 
spot demand on crypto exchanges. None of this necessarily breaks the technical 
histogram pattern WashiGorira is tracking. The bearish reading is that the 
pattern could still leave room for one final crash before a bottom is 
confirmed. Some technical analysts have warned that the Bitcoin price could 
still break below $50,000. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from
