In this video segment, The Art of Crypto explains why he believes the Bitcoin bear market has not yet ended. He relies on his proprietary trading system, which requires an "undeniable CIST" (clear, indisputable signal) on the weekly chart to declare a market reversal. The current analysis identifies the first valid level at approximately $82,200. A convincing weekly candle close above this price would satisfy step 1 of a multi‑step reversal process, indicating the bear market may be over. Until such a signal materialises, the speaker maintains a cautious stance that the market remains bearish.

is the bear market over? And the short answer to that is going to be not yet. Or at the very least, based on the system that I trade, I don't think we have enough signals to tell us that, okay, the bear market is officially over. Now, just to explain what I mean by this, the basically the main kind of signal that I would look for to signify that a bear market is over is some sort of an undeniable CIST on the weekly chart. And at the moment, based on how the chart is looking like so far, the first valid level would be at around $82,200, which means that we would need a convincing candle close on the weekly chart above this level And if that happens, congratulations, we're basically out of the bear market, or at the very least, we have completed step 1 out of maybe like 2 or 3 steps to kind of go for a full market reversal.
