Mark your calendar—a total lunar eclipse is coming in about 60 days. On March 3, 2026, the moon will turn blood red, and history suggests we might want to pay attention to what happens next in bitcoin markets.



Looking back at previous blood moons reveals an intriguing pattern. In May 2021, bitcoin dropped hard: the month before saw prices hit $64k, then May crashed to $33k—a brutal 48% nosedive. Fast forward to May 2022, and bitcoin started April around $46k before the next blood moon event. The swings between these eclipse months and their predecessors tell a story worth watching.

Whether it's pure coincidence or something traders are actually pricing in, the data shows volatility has shown up around these events before. With March 2026 on the horizon, it might be worth monitoring how the market reacts as we approach that lunar moment.

The blood moon is coming again, and the crypto world is about to start telling stories... Honestly, I've seen too many of these cyclical patterns. I was also involved during that 48% drop. Now, I don't really believe in astronomical phenomena anymore; it just feels like psychological suggestion.

Is the Blood Moon coming again? Last time, the Blood Moon caused Bitcoin to halve directly. Is it going to repeat this time... Honestly, predicting coin prices based on astronomical events is a bit superstitious, but looking at the 2021 crash was really intense, from 64k down to 33k. Who can withstand that? Keep an eye on March next year, but rather than watching the moon, it's better to watch the Federal Reserve's actions.

Blood Moon crashing the market again? I wonder how reliable this metaphysical crypto trading method is... Anyway, I don't believe it; I still prefer to focus on fundamentals and capital flow.

The Blood Moon prophecy is back? To be honest, this kind of correlation is a bit far-fetched, but last time it did cause a stir, so we still need to be cautious.

Blood Moon is coming? Haha, time to stock up on stablecoins again... --- 48% directly cut in half, if this happens again, I’ll go bankrupt haha --- Moon: I’ll just watch, say nothing --- Honestly, this correlation is a bit of a stretch... but anyway, the crypto circle just eats this stuff up, right? --- 2026? Bro, let’s see if we’re alive until then --- I ran away before the Blood Moon last year, and this time, a three-month提前空头让我躺赢 --- Pure gambler’s mentality, but I just believe in 🤷
