- USDT dominance bearish reversal pattern to trigger Bitcoin rally.
404,448 Bitcoins [BTC]worth $23 billion, have been moved to permanent addresses of holders over the past 30 days, according to the chain’s data, indicating significant accumulation.
Private investors, distracted by concerns such as the German government sell-off or the Mount Gox issues, may regret not buying the dip. This missed opportunity is highlighted as institutions are believed to have bought during the recent market dip.

The weekly BTC chart reflects the 2019/20 BTC cycle
For weeks, warnings have emerged about investors and traders becoming too optimistic and ignoring signals on the weekly BTC chart.

Currently, BTC is in a correction phase and may be experiencing its last dip before a new rally. This phase has attracted significant institutional investment, with many Bitcoins moving to permanent holding addresses.
Do we see history repeating itself?
