Bitcoin - The Yer of the RAT - Chinese New Year Analysis
My weird thirst for knowledge and analysis brings us to another study. This time we are going to take a look at and breakdown Price Action during the Chinese New Years.
This is neither the time or the place to write an article on the Chinese New Years, so I'll leave you to research that to your hearts content. What we should be aware of is there are many cultures involved and they al celebrate a bit differently. Some start a week before, some a few days before and some the night before. Some celebrate for one day while others for three, some for seven and there are even some who celebrate for fifteen days.
What is the PURPOSE?
I believe that the Asian Market contributes a lot to Bitcoin trading. Volume, Price Action, Mining, etc. All these things are intertwined and just like here in America during Major Holidays, traders can lose focus of the charts and spend more time with Family and less time trading. I will be looking for any anomalies that show up when the Chinese New Year is happening to see if there are any similarities or weight to this theory.
The knowledge that is readily available is the actual Date of the Chinese New Year and that will be the center of the focus here.

The Day Itself -
The first week -
The second week -
Volume - High with sharp decline the week before
Notes: This is the Same Trend from the year of the MONKEY - That was 2015 - Still the SAME Trend
Cleaning up the chart with a fully Zoomed out view..
I saw a few things of interest
These two downward sloping trends are nearly parallel
But look at the trend from the Year of the SNAKE in 2013 - That trend Broke to end the 2014 Bear Market and it is the same trend to END the 2017 BULL Market
The trend from the Year of the Monkey held the Rooster and the 2018 Low as well as the Year of the Pig.
Now Nothing is official yet but if we don't trade under 3122 again, then this trend would have started the next BULL market.
Results for the Three Week Period
Results for the Week of
2012 was such a joke that I avoided it altogether. The price action was incredible.
2013
Week of - 15.33% Gain

2014
Week of - 0.04% Gain
3 Weeks - -18.32% Loss

3 Weeks - 17.08% Gain
2019
Week of - 6.93% Gain

So it turns out that the Chinese New Year, or at least the Week of and the 3 Week period is actually usually profitable.
Only 1 year showed a loss during the week of and it was a 1.27% loss in 2017. The three week period was a 23% gain however.
For the 3 Week period, only 1 year had a loss and it was an 18.32% loss in 2014. The Week of had a tiny 0.04% Gain
