Every BTC ATH retest has swept the lows before holding

Every time Bitcoin's broken a prior all time high and come back to retest it, the same thing happens before it holds. The lows get swept first.

2015, 2018, and now again recently, same setup each time. Price reclaims the old high, pulls back, takes out the obvious lows just below that level one more time, scares out anyone who bought too early, then turns around and uses that same zone as the floor for the next leg.

Not saying this time plays out identically, nothing's guaranteed. But the sweep-then-reclaim pattern's been remarkably consistent across three completely different market cycles, three completely different sets of people trading it, and the mechanism doesnt really care what year it is.

Worth knowing this if youve ever bought right at an old ATH retest and immediately gotten stopped out on the sweep, only to watch it turn around without you. Thats not bad luck, thats just how this level has behaved every time so far.
