The Bull Trap Study
Every time Bitcoin closed above its last lower high inside a bear market since 2011, graded at 30, 90 and 180 days. 15 of 19 were the real turn and 4 were traps, but breaks within 90 days of the low were traps 3 times in 7. The four traps one by one, the early breaks that were real, and the September 2026 break on day 82.
