Bitcoin Breaks the Bear Spell: Is a Bull Run Coming?

In the grand bazaar of numbers, Bitcoin has been wandering through a bearish corridor that seems to have borrowed a winter coat from 2025 and decided to keep it through 2026. Since January, the price has slid along like a stubborn troll refusing to admit the door was actually open, and the first quarter wore the gloom like a particularly dramatic scarf. Yet the latest move carries a whiff of mischief, as if fate spilled coffee on a prophecy and said, “Try again later.”

Bitcoin Rejection Trend Is Coming To An End

Looking back from January through the end of the first quarter, crypto analyst CrypFlow notes a stubborn bearish mood, a pattern of polite denials at every rung of the ladder. Each push upward was met with a crisp “no thanks,” followed by a downward shuffle to lower ground, as if the market had mistaken gravity for a trusted advisor.

That was the situation, anyway, until the recent week’s pump arrived with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated wizard. Now Bitcoin seems to be moving in a different direction. Instead of being rejected and then slipping lower, the bulls appear to be strapping on capes and attempting to sustain the uptrend.

The initial move above $69,000 saw Bitcoin print a higher high for the first time, a curious bit of numerology suggesting a change of direction. Not only did the higher high appear, but momentum also showed signs of not wanting to be dragged back down by a gust of wind. It’s as if the bulls have found a motivational poster and decided to staple it to the price chart.

As a result, Bitcoin’s RSI is reclaiming its moving average, which had wandered off earlier in the year like a cat in a raincoat. In addition, the Stochastic RSI delivered a bullish cross at the start of the month. CrypFlow notes that this is a major difference because, back in January, momentum had failed. This time, momentum seems to be getting sturdier, as though it discovered an extra espresso shot in its energy drink.

Since the price moved lower when momentum failed in January, the logic goes that it may move higher now that momentum is standing up straight. This deviation might be the twist in Bitcoin’s tale that changes the narrative. “Which makes this the first real deviation from that pattern. If this holds, this could be the start of a short-term trend shift,” the analyst said.

As for the Bitcoin price, the move above $69,000 matters because it is the previous cycle’s peak. Think of it as a stubborn gate, a doorframe that has seen generations attempt to pass. Once broken with adequate momentum, it could signal a return of the bull market, leaving the bears with nothing but a stylised fact and a shrug.
