Double Retest Pattern Returns for Bitcoin
Bitcoin is flashing a familiar bullish pattern that hasn’t appeared since just before its explosive Q4 2023 rally. The pattern? A double retest of key support, which many analysts view as a strong indicator of accumulation before a major move higher.
In technical analysis, a double retest occurs when an asset revisits the same support zone twice, holding firm both times. This price action can indicate strengthening conviction among buyers, even after short-term pullbacks.
Back in late 2023, this exact setup preceded a massive 185% rally, pushing Bitcoin to new highs. Now, with a nearly identical formation playing out again, traders are watching closely to see if history will repeat itself.
What Happened After the Last Double Retest?
Before the start of Q4 2023, Bitcoin also showed signs of hesitation before firmly bouncing off key support twice. That double confirmation was followed by months of bullish price action, where Bitcoin surged from the low $20,000s to nearly $70,000—a gain of over 185%.
The conditions then included easing macro pressure, growing institutional interest, and ETF anticipation. While today’s environment is different, several bullish catalysts—such as renewed ETF inflows and rising on‑chain activity—are back in play.
If this double retest holds firm again, the path could be paved for another major breakout heading into Q4 2025.
The last time #Bitcoin pulled a double retest like this, was just before Q4 of 2023.

We ended up rallying over 185% in the months that followed.

Could Bitcoin Repeat the Past?
While past performance isn’t a guarantee of future results, technical patterns like the double retest carry weight in crypto markets, especially when combined with strong fundamentals.
With BTC holding steady above major support and market sentiment leaning bullish, many in the crypto community are hoping for a similar rally to unfold. Even a fraction of the previous 185% run would place Bitcoin at new cycle highs.
As always, traders are reminded to manage risk—but optimism is certainly building.
