Well-known crypto analyst TechDev says that Bitcoin (BTC) is probably in the midst of a bear trap to shake out weak hands before a large move up in price.

The pseudonymous analyst shares with his 464,000 followers on the social media platform X a Bitcoin chart that suggests BTC is mirroring its 2017 pre-parabola price action after roughly 1,200 days of accumulation.

TechDev’s chart also incorporates the net unrealized profit and loss (NUPL) metric, which gauges the overall sentiment of market participants by tracking the unrealized gains and losses of all coins in circulation.

Based on his chart, the analyst sees Bitcoin’s NUPL going through four different stages in a bull cycle: hope, optimism, belief and euphoria. The analyst suggests that Bitcoin is in the belief stage where the biggest rallies of the bull run happen.

The RSI is a momentum indicator while the CMF is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a given period.

Says TechDev,

“RSI calls the tops. CMF calls the blow-offs.”
