We are already far below the 2017 top.  I recently got in an argument about this—when BTC was around $28k.  Now, I do not think anyone can question my statement that $19k (hah, $19.6k) in 2017 dollars bought much more goods and services than $20,360 at this moment, as I write this.

Who puts August–September 2015 in a “bull market”?  (Or any of 2015?)

I was just saying something that implied August–September 2015 could be a precedent for us to scrape along/below 200 WMA for the next month.  (If you believe that past performance indicates anything about future results, etc.)

The chart itself shows that 2015 was a bear year—i.e., a great time to buy.  But the chart labels it “bull market” based on a technical indicator widget.  “Bear” or “bull” means the price, not an indicator someone believes to predict future movements in the price.
