Exchange closures signal a Bitcoin bottom? analyst says the data tells a different story

The belief that crypto exchange collapses signal a Bitcoin price bottom is a total myth unsupported by actual data. We love to slap logos on a chart to predict a reversal, but 2026 has seen the lowest number of shutdowns in eight years. High-profile closures like BitMart and BitMEX are emotional outliers, not market indicators. If the data proves these failures don't predict the bottom, why do we keep falling for this false narrative? Is it time to stop trusting the "bottom is in" hype?
