As Bitcoin’s fourth halving in April 2024 approaches, the reward for mining a block will halve from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Analysts in the cryptocurrency market suggest that the current period may be the best time to accumulate and employ the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy.
If historical patterns repeat and a supply shock impacts Bitcoin’s economy and valuation, the leading cryptocurrency could experience a parabolic rise soon. Typically, the 12-18 months following a halving event have been characterized by significant appreciation in BTC’s price.
An analyst known by the pseudonym Negentropic shared a macro technical analysis of the BTC price chart, indicating that the cyclical nature of traditional financial markets and cryptocurrencies can be inferred. Despite variations in the determinants of a token’s price across successive periods, similar macroscopic price patterns are often identifiable.
A senior analyst points to a pattern observed across three consecutive Bitcoin cycles, suggesting that similar corrections in the form of a bull flag were followed by parabolic surges, presenting potentially the last opportunity to purchase BTC before these surges. Using external Fibonacci retracement, the analyst sets a potential target for Bitcoin’s current cycle increase.
If history repeats itself, the $120,000 level could be a target for BTC’s price. Analysts recommend the dollar-cost averaging strategy before the fourth Bitcoin halving in April 2024. Technical analyses, showing similar price patterns in past cycles, suggest that $120,000 could be a potential target.
