Benjamin Cowen argues Bitcoin is still following a typical midterm-year pattern: a February low, a March rally, and then likely a lower high rather than a durable breakout. He sees some bottoming signals as supportive, but says the broader bear-market structure and relative weakness versus other assets are not yet resolved.

This solo video is a Bitcoin-focused market update framed around Cowen’s recurring midterm-year thesis. He opens with channel housekeeping and promotions, including the ITC bracket challenge and a free risk memo, then moves into his core market view: Bitcoin around 74K is behaving much like prior midterm years, where price tends to bottom in February and then bounce into March before setting a lower high. He repeatedly compares the current setup with prior cycles, especially 2019 and 2022. On one hand, he argues the year-to-date price path remains within the historical average range for midterm years and that Bitcoin is doing what it normally does. …
Near term, Bitcoin looks vulnerable to rejection if the rally cannot hold above the 82K–83K resistance area. The current setup is about whether the bounce fails into a lower high rather than about a confirmed breakout.
Over the next few weeks to months, the base case is a March lower high followed by a fade into summer unless price can hold above the bear-market resistance band. A durable change in the view would require sustained acceptance above that zone instead of a brief sweep.
The structural message is that Bitcoin may still trade with recurring midterm-year cycles even as the long-term story stays intact. The lasting lesson is to respect regime shifts and relative performance, not just the asset’s secular upside.
