**71% of the time, BTC is lower within 1 week of an 8-day green streak.**

At the 6-month and 1-year horizon, **only 33% of instances ended positive**. The average 6-month return is -14.2%.


 Why Does This Happen?


Eight consecutive green days is statistically extreme — roughly a 0.4% probability (1/256) in a random walk. When it happens, it signals one of two things:

**Exhaustion rally before reversal (5 out of 7 instances):**

- **Dec 2017:** 8 green days to $17K, then crashed 84% over the next year

- **Jun 2019:** 8 green days to $13K, then bled 6 months to $7.3K

- **Jul 2021:** Dead cat bounce $29K → $40K, then bear continued

- **Mar 2022:** Bear rally $38K → $44K, then crashed to $15K

- **Jan 2025:** Rally to $93K, now at $68K six months later



**Early bull run confirmation (2 out of 7 instances):**

- **Dec 2020:** $17K → $23K, continued to $64K within 4 months

- **Feb 2024:** $42K → $49K, continued to $73K within 1 month (ETF momentum)



The ratio: **5 out of 7 times, the 8-day green streak marked a local top.**


 March 2026: Already Following the Bearish Pattern


The current instance (March 9–16) has already started tracking the bearish path. In the week following the streak, BTC dropped 5.3% — consistent with the 71% immediate pullback rate.

BTC is currently down 37% from ATH ($109K). The 8-day bounce from $66K to $75K could be a bear market rally (like Mar 2022) or an accumulation bounce (like Dec 2020).

With a 33% historical win rate at 6-month and 1-year marks, the statistical base case leans bearish.
