Bitcoin’s bull and bear markets tend to look similar, though each cycle is unique in its own right. What repeats most consistently are the technical setups and the way markets react to certain macro events and narratives. Investors who focus on those patterns and trade the cycles accordingly have historically fared far better than those who simply dollar-cost average.
