Bitcoin: Why I Just Increased My Position By Another 33%

Summary

  • Bitcoin is going through another period of calm, but the last time Bitcoin was "quiet" it preluded a 50% crash. So what will happen next?
  • Bitcoin, and the cryptocurrency complex in general, appears to be going through the late stages of a brutal bear market that saw many digital assets decline by 80%-90% or more.
  • Mass adoption could occur, but it will not be an overnight phenomenon, and will likely be a multi-year or possibly even a multi-decade process.
  • Still, more and more people are using Bitcoin, yet, about 99.45% of the world's applicable store of value, and 99.9% of the world's potential transaction market remain untapped.
  • Bitcoin is likely bottoming here, and the next bull market wave should take prices substantially higher from current levels, and notably above previous highs.

Bitcoin: The Calm Before Another Storm

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has been in another period of incredible calm lately as the digital asset’s price has remained in an atypically narrow trading range of about $3,200 - $4,200 for nearly three months now.

These quiet periods always are concerning, as the last time Bitcoin was “calm,” it preluded a crash of nearly 50%.

So, is history about to repeat itself? Will Bitcoin fall through the $3,200 level and crater to new multi-year lows? Or is the digital asset destined to recover? Also, is Bitcoin likely to go much higher going forward and longer term?

I believe that this time the calm before the storm will lead to a rebound in prices. Moreover, numerous factors suggest the current bear market is likely going through a prolonged bottoming process right now.

Ultimately, the start of a new bull run appears inevitable. Furthermore, improved adoption amongst users and an increased presence by institutional investors should substantially boost sentiment and drive demand going forward. Therefore, Bitcoin is likely very close to a bottom here, and the digital asset probably has substantial upside potential going forward.

Did Bitcoin Just Bottom?

It’s been a tough time for Bitcoin, as the digital asset had declined by about 84% from its peak in 2018. Even now, Bitcoin continues to drift around the lows, and it’s not just Bitcoin.

The whole cryptocurrency complex had a bloodbath of a year in 2018, and 2019 hasn’t brought much improvement.
