Bitcoin Logs 90-Day Uptrend Inside Bear Market

Bitcoin has recorded 90 consecutive days of price gains dating from a macro low in the last week of February, the longest sustained uptrend observed during an active bear market in Bitcoin’s price history.

At the start of February the price briefly fell below $60,000, the lowest level since late 2024. About three months after that low, Bitcoin reached local highs near $83,000. Price records show the advance cleared and held higher-timeframe resistance around $77,000.

Trader and analyst Matthew Hyland wrote on X that the pattern differs from prior bear-market recoveries. “There has NEVER been a rally that trended upward for 89 days ever in a bear market in BTC history,” he wrote, and he added that the combination of a long uninterrupted uptrend and a break of major resistance has matched the start of previous bull market rallies.

Independent analyst Filbfilb identified a higher threshold for confirming a trend reversal, pointing to Bitcoin’s weekly supertrend near $88,000 to $90,000. Filbfilb wrote on X that the last two bear markets ended with a greater-than-20% weekly candle and a break of the weekly supertrend, and that a strong weekly close above that line would signal bulls are in control.

The weekly supertrend is calculated from the average true range of price movements multiplied by a factor. Traders use that line on weekly charts to indicate trend direction. Bitcoin last closed a week above the supertrend in early November 2025.

Market records show the 90-day run followed the February macro low and consisted of steady daily gains rather than a single sharp spike. The break and hold of the $77,000 level was noted by market participants as a meaningful event. Some analysts describe the price action as a bull market rally, while others say further weekly resistance needs to be reclaimed.

Historically, rallies inside bear markets have tended to be shorter and failed to sustain breaks of major resistance. Traders monitor multi-week closes and higher-timeframe breaks to distinguish brief recoveries from longer trend changes.

The 90-day uptrend is the longest such streak recorded during an active bear market, and analysts remain divided over whether the current price action constitutes a sustained bull phase or an extended bear-market rally.
