Bitcoin Dubious Speculation
Benjamin Cowen examines Bitcoin's historical behavior around golden crosses and argues that such signals have often been followed by corrections, even when a market low is already in place. He concludes that a decline toward roughly $70,000-$75,000 would be within expectations, while the subsequent bounce and whether it forms a lower or higher high could help distinguish between a continuing bear market and a stronger bullish setup.

Cowen says Bitcoin experienced corrections of roughly 10% to 15% around golden crosses in both 2019 and 2023, including when the market low was already in place.
He notes that golden crosses in 2014 and 2015 were followed by much larger declines of approximately 50% to 60%, unlike the more limited corrections seen in 2019 and 2023.
Cowen expects that a decline from the local high toward the low-to-mid-$70,000s could still be consistent with a bull market, while a drop to around $70,000 would represent a 15% correction.
Bitcoin Golden Crosses
Cowen introduces the analysis and argues that Bitcoin golden crosses have historically been followed by meaningful corrections, even when the market low was already established.
Historical Correction Patterns
Comparisons with 2019, 2023, 2015, 2014, and the pandemic show corrections ranging from 10% to 60%, with smaller declines occurring even in bullish recoveries.
Bitcoin Low-70s Target
Cowen says a decline toward roughly $70,000 to $75,000 would remain consistent with expectations and could still fit within a broader bull-market structure.
Lower-High Confirmation
The subsequent bounce is the key test: a rapid higher high would support the bull case, while a lower high would suggest the bear market low remains ahead.
