Could This Be the Final Drop? Key Bitcoin Metric Suggests End of Bear Market

Bitcoin's trading within the $66,000-$68,000 range has been met with persistent resistance. A technical signal, previously observed in 2014, 2018, and 2022, has resurfaced, which might suggest a significant accumulation opportunity for long-term investors. Analyst Ali Martinez has pinned this signal to the crossover between the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) on Bitcoin's 3-day chart. This crossover has historically been associated with the final phase of bear markets. Currently, Bitcoin has recorded a 52% correction following its peak in October 2025 and the SMA crossover appeared on February 27, 2026. If historical patterns persist, Bitcoin could be transitioning into a "final accumulation window" within days. A further decline cannot be guaranteed, but it could indicate the final significant downward move before the formation of a long-term macro bottom and the commencement of a new bull market.
