Bitcoin just flashed a golden cross, a classic bullish signal — but history says a dip usually comes first, which is short-term bad news for buyers chasing the move.

• The daily golden cross has fired 11 times before, and every one of those times a pullback followed within about two weeks.
• The typical drop over the following month was close to 10%, which would take Bitcoin down toward the low $70,000s.
• A dip like that would be normal, not a break in the bigger uptrend — it stays above the key long-term floor.
• The bullish signal itself is still intact; the pattern just suggests patience before adding.

Outlook: A pullback in the next couple of weeks would be in line with history, with the longer-term setup still pointing higher.
