According to a recent post by CryptoCon, there is one indicator that makes it very simple to determine if Bitcoin is in a bull or bear market – the Bollinger Band %. As CryptoCon explains, this measurement looks at the percentage of time Bitcoin’s price is above the upper Bollinger Band.

Bollinger Bands are a type of statistical chart analysis that uses two bands plotted at two standard deviations above and below a simple moving average. When the price breaks above the upper band, it’s considered overbought, while a break below the lower band is seen as oversold. The percentage of time spent between the two bands indicates the overall trend.

According to CryptoCon, Bitcoin spent just 2 years and 7 months below the .88% threshold, indicating a bearish trend. However, in October 2020, Bitcoin crossed back above this critical .88% mark, suggesting the start of a new bull market.

CryptoCon states that this indicator “told us that the last cycle, black swan and all, was bearish until October 2020.” The .88% threshold represents the shortest amount of time Bitcoin’s price stayed above that level in previous cycles.

Now that Bitcoin is back above .88%, CryptoCon believes “we have a long time to go with price action over the threshold this cycle.” He compares it to the 2015-2018 bull run and concludes “the cross is here, and we’re just getting started.”

So in summary, this straightforward Bollinger Band metric makes it easy to visualize Bitcoin’s macro trends and indicates we’ve entered a new long-term bull market. CryptoCon sees plenty of room for growth based on historical patterns.
