By the completion of its daily candle on Wednesday, Bitcoin had gained over 18% in just seven consecutive sessions, abruptly ending the steady drift lower which had dominated its price action since Bitcoin put in its mid-April high above 30,000. How unusual is this magnitude gain in only a week\u2019s time, and what\u2019s happened in the past after similarly robust rallies? Let\u2019s take a closer look at Bitcoin\u2019s price history to find out.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s Price History Suggests Higher Prices Ahead<\/h2>\n

As we examine Bitcoin\u2019s price history for which there is reliable data (2011 to the present), the number one cryptocurrency by market cap has experienced numerous instances of gains greater than or equal to +18% over the span of seven days.<\/p>\n\n

Because the number of occurrences will vary depending on holding time, we\u2019ll start by listing the number of times this has happened next to our hypothetical hold times of 7 days through 90 days. Holding time is defined as the amount of time one held Bitcoin before exiting. For example, if one hypothetically purchased Bitcoin following the trigger event (i.e., +18% over the span of seven days) and sold it 30 days later, this would be a holding time of 30 days.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Occurrences of +18% Gains in Seven Consecutive Days by Holding Time (2011 \u2013 Present)<\/strong><\/p>\n

98 occurrences using a 7-day hold time
\n73 occurrences using a 15-day hold time
\n57 occurrences using a 30-day hold time
\n30 occurrences using a 90-day hold time<\/p>\n

Clearly, gains of this magnitude in just a week\u2019s time are not uncommon for Bitcoin, an asset with numerous instances of large price advances especially when considering its relatively short price history compared to traditional risk assets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Results Slightly Less Bullish In Recent Years<\/h2>\n

While a gain of over 18% in such a brief time period may lead some traders to lean bearish, the data suggests otherwise, with historical average results clearly positive across the board for all holding times from 2011 to the present.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Bitcoin gains >= 18% in Seven Consecutive Days with Various Hold Times. 2011 \u2013 Present.<\/p>\n

Because Bitcoin\u2019s early price history experienced arguably outsized gains relative to its more recent history, let\u2019s take a look at average results for the same degree of gains in a week\u2019s time but only examining data for the last five years (6\/23\/18 to the present).<\/p>\n\n

Bitcoin gains >= 18% in Seven Consecutive Days with Various Hold Times. Last Five Years.<\/p>\n

While once again results are positive across the board, the hypothetical results over more recent data are significantly lower, with the average 90-day return of +25.6% over the past five years a far cry from the +109.4% returns for the same 90-day window over the full price history from 2011 to the present.<\/p>\n

While some traders may argue that the past five years is less representative data due to the occurrence of two major bear markets for Bitcoin and crypto more broadly, Bitcoin has shown positive follow through on average for both time periods across all the hold times we examined. While the past does not predict the future, the recent powerful price advance appears to suggest that Bitcoin is poised for greater gains in relatively near future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
