If the bears are to make a move, it'll be within the next 4-5%
If it flips back to support, I'd call it a confirmed end to the bear market and set up for a multi year bull market throughout #2020 pic.twitter.com/uFgCbvEUUc

John Todaro, director of digital currency research for TradeBlock, concurred, describing bitcoin as “most important asset in the digital currency space.”
“When it performs well, the best risk/reward is arguably to own Bitcoin over any other digital asset,” said Dorman. This doesn’t necessarily mean BTC’s returns will be higher, just that the probability weighted return is the highest given that BTC is so far ahead of any other digital asset in terms of adoption and use cases,” he explained.
