• Bitcoin prepares to close March in red.
  • This could mark its sixth consecutive close, a pattern seen before in 2018-2019.
  • Previously this pattern was printed, the price of BTC pulled a pump over 300%.

The crypto community is waiting with dread as they see how Bitcoin prepares to close March in red, marking its sixth consecutive close. In the eyes of many this may seem like a highly bearish move for the crypto market, but in the eyes of many seasoned crypto analysts and experts, this could be a highly bullish signal for Bitcoin (BTC) and the greater crypto market, and the experts expect a massive pump ahead. 

Bitcoin Prepares to Close March in Red

As the third month of the New Year nears its close, the crypto community is nearly sure that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will close its sixth consecutive month in red. In detail, the price of BTC set its current ATH in the $126,000 price range during October 2025. Since then, the price of BTC and crypto have all significantly fallen following a $20 billion liquidation soon after BTC set its ATH. 

This turn of events led to all bullish expectations, including the long-awaited altseason, to all be forgotten. With billions lost in under a day, most analysts concluded that the bull market had come to an end and that the market would then enter a bearish state. Now, even as we move towards the sixth consecutive close in red, this debate over a bear and bull market playing out for the year continues. 

This Could Mark Bitcoin’s Sixth Consecutive Close 

According to bearish analysts, the bear market has begun and the price of BTC will go on to crash towards prices as low as $40,000 sometime this year. In contrast, bullish analysts believe that the crypto cycle has deviated from the traditional 4-year bull cycle and will lead to a 5-year supercycle, meaning 2026 will see BTC at a new ATH as well as the highly anticipated altseason to finally play out.   

The bullish expectation falls in line with the current 6-month consecutive red close to the price of BTC. This expectation comes from an observed pattern that BTC set in a previous cycle between 2018 and 2019. In particular, between August 2018 and January 2019, BTC set 6 consecutive red closes. Soon after this pattern was set, the price of BTC went on to pull a 300% pump from $3,400 within five months. 

Based on this previous bullish pump pattern, reputed analysts are now concluding that BTC will pull a bullish pump rally very soon. As we can see from the post above, this expert highlights the same pattern and says that a similar, and possibly more bullish surge is expected. Can Bitcoin pull another surge of over 300%, pushing the price of BTC to over $150,000 this year?
