Could Bitcoin Rally After New Year’s Eve?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last year\u2019s holiday season wasn\u2019t the best time for Bitcoin<\/a> holders. For those who missed the memo, in November and December of 2018, the leading cryptocurrency tanked, falling off a proverbial cliff as investors capitulated, liquidating their BTC holdings in search of greener pastures. In fact, within a four week period, Bitcoin had entirely capitulated, losing half of its value faster than you could say \u201cSatoshi Nakamoto<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, according to a recent analysis, the holiday season \u2014 or at least the next few days \u2014 will favor bulls.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency analyst Joel recently posted the below chart, in which the historical price data of Bitcoin before, during, and after New Year’s was conveyed.<\/p>\n

Joel’s analysis<\/a> found that Bitcoin rallied by an average of 3% higher during 71.43% of the first weeks of January (January 2nd to the 7th), implying that there is a good historical likelihood that BTC could carry strength into 2020.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is just an average, though the post-New Year’s positive directionality seems to exist, for it would line up with an analysis done by crypto exchange SFOX<\/a> which found that the leading cryptocurrency performs better around the times of holidays.<\/p>\n

What Are Other Bull Factors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Holiday cheer isn\u2019t the only thing that may boost Bitcoin in the coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n

Hodlonaut, a prominent Bitcoin proponent and commentator, recently argued that the sentiment existing in the industry is the perfect place, by traditional industry standards, for Bitcoin to \u201cstart a rip your face off rally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The technicals seemingly corroborate this.<\/p>\n

According to digital asset manager Charles Edwards<\/a>, who has popularized the talk around Bitcoin miner capitulation<\/a> over recent months, a \u201cbuy\u201d is rapidly forming on the Hash Ribbons indicator just a few days after \u201crecovery\u201d was signaled.<\/p>\n

This is notable. Previous \u201cbuy\u201d signals by the Hash Ribbons came shortly after macro bottoms, followed by fully-fledged bullish reversals. Case in point, the Hash Ribbons printed a \u201cbuy\u201d in the middle of January of this year.<\/p>\n

On the fundamental side of things, Willy Woo, partner at Adaptive Capital, recently asserted that BTC is in the midst of a \u201cre-accumulation\u201d phase of bull markets that always proceeds the blow-off top rally, one that brings Bitcoin an order of magnitude or two higher than where it started.<\/p>\n
