Bitcoin Sees Bull Reversal Ahead of Chinese New Year

Bitcoin looks set to test the $10,000 mark soon, as per technical analysis, although some investors fear the Lunar New Year may play spoilsport.

Ahead of New Year holidays (starting Feb. 15), Chinese and South Koreans often exchange bitcoin for fiat currencies (to fund increased spending), and bitcoin (BTC) tends to drop in the run-up to the event.

Boosting such fears this year is bitcoin’s (BTC) recent inability to move above $9,000 in a convincing manner. Since Feb. 10, the cryptocurrency has been restricted to a narrow range of $8,000 to $9,000.

Still, historical data indicates the probability of bitcoin reporting gains this month is high.

  • January was a good month for bitcoin during the three year period of 2012–2014, while the performance was mixed in February.
  • However, since 2015 a clear pattern has been established: BTC drops in January and gains value in February.
  • The 26 percent decline seen in January this year is the second biggest monthly drop since 2015. Going by the pattern seen in the last three years, the cryptocurrency could see gains this month.
