The last two times this happened Alts outperformed against Bitcoin for: 2016- 574 days 2019- 770 days Now, in 2026, they have broken the weekly trend and already put in 5 green weekly candles against Bitcoin. This is not what has ever happened within traditional bear markets. You can very clearly see that in every bear market since OTHERS has existed, this chart enters a steep and aggressive downtrend against Bitcoin. And right now, its been consolidating and now breaking higher as Bitcoin has been dropping. I'm not saying we are going to get 770 days of outperformance, but I am saying that this time is different. It couldn't be clearer.
