Bitcoin (BTC)

→ Supermacro Context

Historically, the analysis of BTC's price movements reveals a notable pattern. When observing BTC's performance as it ascends from its lower black trendline, we've consistently observed angles of surge within the range of 65° to 78°. This pattern suggests a degree of predictability in its upward momentum.

Furthermore, as we set our sights on the upper black ceiling trendline prior to the halving event, we find that the required angle is notably modest, falling within the range of 71-73°. This implies that, historically, BTC does not require an excessively steep ascent to reach this upper boundary.

In light of these historical precedents, it becomes evident that the concept of a pre-halving blowoff top is not merely speculative but is firmly anchored in the patterns and trends that BTC has exhibited over time.
