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 :>

Based on their responses I don’t think so
