Bitcoin has recently experienced a decline from its peak value, provoking a wave of pessimism in the market. As sentiments plunge into severe fear, many investors are coming to the conclusion that the bullish phase may have ended. Social media is inundated with forecasts of a sustained bear market, with assessments suggesting the "true bottom" won't be realized until 2026. Nevertheless, trader Alessio Rastani presents an alternative perspective.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph, Rastani articulates why this recent downturn may not necessarily herald the beginning of an extended bear cycle. Rather, he contends that the data indicates a historically recurrent pattern that has led to significant rallies approximately 75% of the time.

Rastani’s analysis reveals that this pattern often follows previous death cross events—situations many traders incorrectly perceive as negative signals. He points out critical sentiment indicators, technical oversold conditions, and a strong correlation with the stock market, all of which, in his analysis, suggest the possibility of an upward continuation.

However, Rastani is not dismissive of the bearish cycle theory. He warns that placing too much emphasis on timing cycles can lead to misguided conclusions, as the price movements tell a contrasting narrative.
