#Bitcoin is about to print a monthly red candle after a bunch of green monthlies in a row. Similar to September 2017. That month BTC closed down around $4,300. Price went ~4.5x to peak 3 months later. This extrapolates to well into 6 figures this summer. Seems about right.

If you believe: (1) We are still in a #Bitcoin bull market (2) Institutional money makes it more likely dips get bought (3) 35% correction is about as bad as it will get (biggest in the 2017 bull was 40%) Then we have probably bottomed. This seems right to me.
