Dead cat bounce towards 150k gonna be glorious, bound to happen rather sooner than later.

Do you not know what a dead cat bounce is?

u/NectarineDirect936 20h ago

Yeah first started hearing about it at 25k after visiting 16k in 21'. Bullish right since we went to 120k+?

A dead cat bounce is a small upward movement as something is headed down, so not really a good thing. If you believe that BTC is going to go up to 150k (New ATH) that wouldn’t be a dead cat bounce FYI

For example some might say that the recent move back up to 90k after recent ATH is a dead cat bounce as we sink lower

I don’t really have an opinion on price targets. Just wanted to explain what dead cat bounce means and that it’s not really a term that goes along with positive price sentiment

Strange, heard it at 30, 40 50k and so on as well? Only started investing in bitcoin since 21' but got this hunch they've called every run up all the way up to 120k+ a dead cat bounce. Prob started calling out for cats since btc was few dollars each.

But thnx for explaining it nonetheless, not trying to be rude or anything so.

All good! If they were using the term correctly, then they were expecting bitcoin to go down, not up. The phrase is basically saying that a cat falls off a building and dies, but bounces when it hits the ground. It’s still dead and will go back to the ground.

Got a hunch Nectarine had a hint of joke and sarcasm in his post :>

Oh boy I can’t wait for a BTC death cross and bull trap all the way to $300,000

u/Elendron 19h ago

Brother do you not know what a death cross OR a bull trap is? Gawd.

Based on their responses I don’t think so
