Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency on the market, has again
taken the lead in the crypto landscape. However, this time it comes
with a sense of caution among investors triggered by macroeconomic
data, particularly from the United States. In addition, the
resulting outflows of over $600 million from the primary market of
the digital asset ecosystem, as reported by asset manager
CoinShares, have raised concerns about potential price corrections
shortly. Against this backdrop, renowned analysts and
technical experts have weighed in to share their insights and
predictions on Bitcoin’s future trajectory. Crypto Experts
Warn Of Looming Bitcoin Correction Crypto analyst Timothy Peterson,
in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), highlights
Bitcoin’s substantial 65% rise over the past six months. However,
based on ten years of historical data, Peterson suggests a 90%
probability that BTC will experience a 10-20% decline in the next
90 days, taking the BTC price below the key $60,000
threshold. On a more optimistic note, Peterson noted that
there is also a two-thirds chance that Bitcoin will finish the next
three months with a 50% increase. This projection places the median
Bitcoin price path at $65,000, followed by $52,000, and potentially
reaching $98,000 by October. Related Reading: Ethereum Foundation
Moves $64.4 Million Worth Of ETH, Is This A Dump? Supporting these
predictions, technical analyst Rekt Capital points out that Bitcoin
tends to form clusters of price action near the resistance range
high above $71,600. Historical patterns indicate that these
clusters often precede downside moves, leading to lower levels
within the range. In line with Peterson’s analysis, this
correction could potentially take Bitcoin’s price down to around
$56,000, similar to the previous correction observed after its
all-time high of $73,700 in March. BTC’s Post-Halving Trajectory On
Track? Rekt Capital further emphasizes that Bitcoin trades within
its normal re-accumulation box following the Halving event. This
re-accumulation phase typically begins a few weeks before the
Halving and concludes with a breakout months afterward. The
analyst further shared that the current Re-Accumulation Range for
Bitcoin is estimated to be between $60,000 and $70,000, with price
fluctuations within this range. This phase aims to stabilize
Bitcoin’s price, preparing it for the next cycle phase—the
“Parabolic Phase.” Rekt Capital suggests that the
Re-Accumulation phase can last several months, potentially up to
150 days. Upon breaking out of the re-accumulation area, Bitcoin
enters a parabolic uptrend characterized by accelerated growth.
Considering the timeline, the market is now two months after the
Bitcoin Halving and the current price action aligns with previous
60-day post-Halving periods. Related Reading: This Altcoin
Gem Will Overtake Solana, Predicts Arthur Hayes In summary,
considering the scenarios presented by the analysts, BTC is
anticipated to remain within its established range, possibly
experiencing deeper corrections before embarking on an upward
trajectory toward further price appreciation and the potential to
reach new all-time highs. At the time of writing, BTC has exhibited
a recovery in the past hour, witnessing an upward spike after
hitting a Monday low of $65,000. Presently, it is trading at
$66,800. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
