If February actually closes in the red, we’re looking at something we haven’t seen in 7 years.

@Bitcoin printing its longest streak of consecutive monthly declines since 2018 would hit different. Not because red months are new — we’ve all survived worse — but because of what it says about sentiment.

Back in 2018, after the crazy 2017 blow-off top, the market didn’t just fall… it bled slowly. Month after month. Hope would bounce for a few days, then reality would slap it back down. Retail disappeared. Narratives died. “Crypto is over” headlines were everywhere.

Now here we are again.

But this time feels different.

We’re not coming off a hype-only cycle. We’ve got spot ETFs live. Institutional flows are real. Governments are debating regulation instead of banning it outright. Big money isn’t laughing at Bitcoin anymore — they’re allocating to it.

So if February ends red and locks in that 7-year record, I don’t see it as weakness. I see it as pressure building.

Markets don’t move in straight lines. They compress. They shake out late longs. They drain leverage. They make you question your conviction. Then when everyone is tired… that’s usually when things start moving again.

The real question isn’t: “Is Bitcoin having its longest losing streak in 7 years?”

The real question is: Who’s accumulating while everyone else is distracted by red candles?

History doesn’t repeat exactly — but it rhymes.

And if we’re rhyming with 2018… remember what came after.

Patience isn’t sexy in crypto. But it pays.
