A bullish crossover has formed on the chart of the first cryptocurrency, which preceded a 600% increase in the asset in 2020. This was noted by a trader known as Coinvo Trading.
BREAKING: 🚨 Bitcoin's most accurate bull run signal is here again.

According to his observations, the stochastic RSI of the US10Y and CN10Y crossed relevant levels on the weekly Bitcoin chart.
The expert labeled this signal as the "most accurate indicator of a bull run" for digital gold. Throughout history, it has appeared four times, each time followed by a price increase for the coin.
In 2021, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $69,000 after a similar signal.
Analyst Matthew Hyland also predicted an upward movement for the first cryptocurrency, based on the behavior of the US Dollar Index (DXY).
The last two times the $DXY broke below 96, #Bitcoin ran from $2,000 to $20,000 within 6 months and ran from $10,000 to $64,000 within 9 months.

The DXY is currently sitting at 97 https://t.co/vzWGXgk2kM
"The last two times the DXY fell below 96, Bitcoin's price surged: from $2,000 to $20,000 in six months and from $10,000 to $64,000 in nine," he wrote.
Currently, the index is at 97.
Why Is Gold Rising While Bitcoin Stays Flat?
Bitcoin continues to trade sideways. At the time of writing, the asset is priced around $88,000.
Meanwhile, gold is reaching new historical highs. On January 26, its price surpassed $5,000 per ounce for the first time.
The divergence in the performance of these two assets is becoming more apparent, as their correlation has dropped to zero. The last time this occurred was in mid-2022.
Analysts at Swan urged investors not to view this as a negative signal. They believe the decoupling is part of a familiar market pattern: the precious metal traditionally leads the way.
This is wild.

Gold just ripped above $5,000/oz and the chart looks like a 2017 Bitcoin cycle.
Parabolic. Vertical. Relentless.
Instead of feeling defeated, Bitcoiners should be ecstatic about this move.

During such periods, the first cryptocurrency may remain in a consolidation phase for months before making a "powerful and sharp" upward move.
Similar sentiments were expressed by MN Trading founder Michaël van de Poppe. He noted that every time the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio dropped to extremely low levels, it indicated the formation of a fundamental bottom in the crypto market.
Every time that #Bitcoin has been this low vs. Gold, it's been the actual low in the markets on #Crypto.

And then I mean the outliers on the indicators.
It's been the case at the bottom of 2015, 2018, 2022 and similarly, right now.
This means; a new cycle is upon us and the…
"This was the case at the lows in 2015, 2018, and 2022, and a similar situation is observed now. This indicates that a new cycle is on the horizon, and the end of the bear market is indeed near," the analyst explained.
Van de Poppe identified the key level at $88,500. If the asset fails to hold above this level, it will continue to test lower values.
However, the current growth in the precious metals market "won't last forever," the expert emphasized. Investors are seeking other opportunities for capital redistribution, one of which is traditionally Bitcoin.
Joe Burnett, vice president of Bitcoin strategy at Strive, also pointed to the formation of a bottom.
Bitcoin is currently on track for 4 down months in a row. The last time that happened:
— Joe Burnett, MSBA (@IIICapital) January 25, 2026
1. Bottom of the 2018 bear market
2. Bottom of the 2014 bear market
3. Bottom of the 2011 bear market
He noted that January could mark the fourth consecutive negative month for digital gold. The same occurred during bear markets in 2011, 2014, and 2018.
Recall that analysts at Santiment pointed out the decline in stablecoin capitalization as a negative signal for the digital asset sector.
