Bitcoin has maintained a continuous upward trajectory for 90 days even as it remains technically in a bear market, an occurrence that has never been recorded before in its history. This sustained rise marks a significant departure from typical bear market behavior, with prices rebounding strongly from February’s macro lows without breaching them again.
Analyst Matthew Hyland highlighted that this rally resembles characteristics of a bull market rather than a bear market, pointing to the fact that Bitcoin broke through key high-timeframe resistance levels, most notably holding above $77,000 after climbing from brief lows near $60,000 earlier this year. According to available trading data, Bitcoin approached local highs near $83,000 exactly three months after bottoming out in February.
Hyland noted that in previous cycles, crossing and maintaining above such resistance marked the start of bull market rallies, underscoring the uniqueness of this current upward trend. No prior bear market in Bitcoin’s history saw an 89-day continuous upward trend as is observed now. This extended momentum signals evolving market dynamics that challenge conventional bearish narratives.
Meanwhile, another analyst, Filbfilb, emphasized the importance of Bitcoin reclaiming its weekly supertrend level, currently close to $90,000, to confirm a full bullish return. This supertrend is a technical indicator calculated using the average true range of price movement combined with a multiplier and is considered a critical line in the sand. In previous bear markets, a decisive weekly candlestick gain above this supertrend marked the transition out of bearish phases.
Bitcoin last closed above the weekly supertrend line in early November 2025, and reclaiming this threshold again would represent a strong signal that buyers have regained control. Filbfilb expects that if the current attempt to break this resistance succeeds, it will trigger a sharp rally rather than a period of sideways price action.
