Bitcoin price suffered a powerful correction from the 2020 high of $12,400, taking the crypto asset back below $10,000 briefly. After a short-lived dead-cat bounce to $11,200, Bitcoin price is back once again at $10,500 and trying to hold.

Although the correction has been steep, the selloff closely resembles the last bull market’s most violent tops. And while sentiment has swiftly shifted bearish, if history repeats, buying even the scariest dips will be incredibly rewarding.

Crypto Bull Market Tops Match Current Price Action Despite Bearish Sentiment Shift

In a bull market, dips are for buying and can lead to enormous ROI. But at this stage of where Bitcoin is in its market cycle, combined with an economic environment full of uncertainty, it isn’t clear if the cryptocurrency is fully bullish, or remains in the grasps of a bear market.

Until a new all-time high is set, the market has more to thaw from the long crypto winter.

Breaking above $10,000 is one major step in the right direction for bulls, and holding seven straight retests on daily timeframes above it is the second. All that’s left is confirming the uptrend is intact by setting another new 2020 high.

But a recent severe selloff from the current high has turned sentiment bearish quickly, prompting investors to fear more downside ahead.

However, one keen-eyed crypto analyst has shared some compelling charts that suggest that the latest top, is just like past bull market tops, and the crypto asset is ready to fly higher.
