• Uptrends are longer than corrections
Throughout its Bull Market, #BTC spends most of its time in an uptrend (green) compared to time spent in
a correction (red)

5. Corrections get shorter over time
Average time #BTC spent in a retrace was 16 days
Not only were retraces generally short in the 2017 BTC Bull Market...
But retraces got shorter as the Bull Market progressed
Corrections arguably become more brief later in the year/cycle

8. Corrections tend to occur at the end of a Quarter
While some #BTC corrections started at the beginning of a Quarter (e.g. Q1 & Q3)...
#Bitcoin corrected near the end of EVERY Quarter in 2017!
(The only time when BTC retraced mid-Quarter was in Q4, though it was very brief)

10. At the moment, #Bitcoin is experiencing its first major pullback in this new Bull Market
The retrace at the moment is around -31% deep which is normal by standards of history
In fact, history suggests a retrace even deeper (e.g. ~$25000; -40%) would still be healthy
