2019 we gained and lost it again so it was quite spiky in that respect, too fast a gain.
Indeed, I still consider 2019 a bear market relief rally. Price made a macro lower high and eventually returned to near the lows at $3.8K for eventual higher low. Black swan event aside, that's what happened, and even without the covid crash then price still returned to "the norm" around $6K to $8K that was the previous volume accumulation zone. Hence, if price does reach $50K, I'd be betting on it returning to $25K/$30K soon after.
Here we are going sideways quite alot at the moment, a really simple look at that chart on weekly bars says 30k is a target within grasp and should be obtained. We cannot speculate on gains beyond 30k because it hasnt happened to challenge this area yet, all we did so far is escape the downtrend and relief rally which is not enough to say more only maybe.
Also agree on this. Hence my note for confirmation of a U-shaped bottom and +80% target would be above $30K, not before. I see the argument for a roughly 50% target to the upside towards $37K if $25K if broken, but additionally this hasn't been confirmed either, and imo it's not quite as clean a U-shaped bottom compared to the drop from $30K down to $16K and back to $30K. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
My general impression is that $30K won't act as resistance however as there is barely any volume there compared to $16K and $20K levels. Even between $30K and $40K there isn't much either. By comparison in 2019 most of the volume was still traded between $6K and $8K, but price broke through like a knife through butter. So ironically, it should be easier to break $30K than it was to break $6K back in 2019.
