Crypto analyst CrypFlow says the next Bitcoin bull run should not be called simply because price appears to have bottomed. In his view, a market bottom only shows that selling pressure has stopped dominating, but it does not confirm that a fresh bullish cycle has begun.
At the time referenced in the report, Bitcoin was trading around $71,750, up 4.3% over the past 24 hours, with an intraday high of $72,379. Even so, CrypFlow argues that short-term strength alone is not enough to validate a full trend reversal. He still considers Bitcoin to be in a corrective phase unless key technical barriers are cleared.
Three Signals to Confirm a Bullish Transition
According to CrypFlow, Bitcoin needs to complete three technical steps before a new bull cycle can be confirmed. First, the asset must break above its descending trendline, signaling that the prior downward structure has been invalidated. Second, it needs to reclaim the -14 wave trend level, which he treats as an important marker of improving market momentum. Third, Bitcoin must move back above the 50-week simple moving average, a widely watched indicator for medium-term trend direction.
Until all three conditions are met, CrypFlow believes the market should be viewed as undergoing a correction rather than entering a sustained bullish expansion. That means sharp rallies may still occur, but they would not necessarily amount to the start of a full bull run.
Why the Distinction Matters
The analyst’s framework highlights the gap between a rebound and a confirmed trend change. For traders and investors, the focus is therefore less on whether Bitcoin has bounced from recent lows and more on whether it can reclaim these specific technical levels. In the near term, Bitcoin’s ability to hold and build above those markers could shape expectations for the next major phase of the market.
