We will look at how forums influence the price of Bitcoin, what factors determine price movement after events, and what conclusions can be drawn from the technical analysis of charts.
I have divided the entire list of events into groups based on their names for a clearer and more detailed study of patterns, and let's consider the differences between them:

Thus, analyzing all the forums conducted and the Bitcoin prices at the time of their occurrence, trends can be identified and the impact of events on cryptocurrency prices understood, which can help in making investment decisions.
After analyzing all the presented events and forums, as well as conducting technical analysis of the Bitcoin price, the following conclusions can be made:
Fundamental Analysis:
Forums and events such as conferences and exhibitions have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market, especially when new technologies, regulations, and investment opportunities are discussed.
The transition of events to online formats due to the COVID-19 pandemic influenced market perception but did not diminish investors' interest in cryptocurrencies.
Rising trends in Bitcoin price may be associated with optimistic news and announcements at major events, whereas descending trends may be caused by uncertainty or negative news.
Technical Analysis:
Bitcoin price charts show clear growth trends after forums and events, especially if the Bitcoin price starts to increase before the event and continues to rise afterward.
Support and resistance levels on the charts often correlate with the timing of events, confirming their influence on the market.
Conclusion:
Fundamental analysis and technical analysis confirm the importance of events such as forums and conferences for the cryptocurrency market.
Investors can use information about event schedules and price analysis to make decisions about entering or exiting positions in the market.
However, it's important to remember that the cryptocurrency market is always volatile, and no analysis guarantees successful investments. It's always important to conduct your own research and diversify your portfolio.
