TREE NEWS reports: ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen pushed back on bearish fourth-quarter calls for bitcoin on Sept. 30, noting BTC is now less than 1% below its May high. He said the market’s technical setup favors bulls, and that while past breaks above the 50-week moving average in 2019 and 2023 produced 20%-30% gains within one to two weeks, this cycle has been milder, likely due to seasonality and rising US Treasury yields.
ITC Crypto’s Benjamin Cowen Questions Bearish Bitcoin Q4 Calls
Cowen's pushback is a reminder that this cycle's technical signals have been unusually muted: a setup that historically delivered quick double-digit gains has so far produced a far softer response. The cited culprits — seasonality and rising Treasury yields — point to macro conditions, not crypto-native flows, as the binding constraint on bitcoin's upside. The open question is whether the 50-week moving average still functions as a reliable trigger when yields are the dominant variable, or whether that playbook has quietly stopped working.
