20 DAYS – 5 TIMES “BART SIMPSON” ON BTC: WHAT’S GOING ON?
In just the last 20 days, Bitcoin has seen the Bart Simpson pattern appear 5 times – a type of price fluctuation that the crypto community views as a sign of short-term manipulation.
🔍 What is Bart Simpson?
Price $BTC pumped straight up in a very short time, sweeping liquidity and triggering FOMO, then dumped quickly and returned to the starting point. Looking at the chart, the price line resembles Bart Simpson's hair.
📉 Market significance
Typically appears when liquidity is thin and leverage is high.
Whales/market makers take advantage of the volatility to hunt both Long and Short.
Price does not form a clear trend despite the large range → easily causing losses for short-term traders.
🧠 The concern is not just one instance of Bart, but the frequency. This type of movement was very common during 2018 – a period when the market was heavily controlled by big players and lacked sustainable cash flow.
📌 Strategy at this time
Limit high leverage.
Prioritize risk management, trading on larger time frames.
Accepting “not trading” is also an investment decision.
The market is always manipulated, but when it repeats continuously, caution is mandatory.
