Bitcoin's recent 11.4% price correction from $29,340 to $25,980 has led experts to analyze the impact on the market structure, with some attributing the volatility to reduced liquidity and market makers adjusting their algorithms, however, examination of the derivatives market shows that whales and market makers remain optimistic and not bearish, as evidenced by the futures premium remaining neutral to bullish and the lack of bearish sentiment in options markets.
Bitcoin's longest-ever period of negative year-over-year returns is coming to an end, according to Dan Morehead, founder of Pantera Capital, who believes that the market can only stay down for so long. Despite last week's downturn, Bitcoin is currently up over 20% from the previous year, and positive catalysts such as the XRP court ruling and endorsements from asset managers could further boost its value, along with the upcoming halving in April 2024. Morehead's models suggest Bitcoin could reach around $35,500 by the halving and nearly $150,000 by late 2025.
Bitcoin price reaches a 2-month low, but crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicts a positive change in the future due to market cycle theories and the upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2024, potentially reaching a price of $50-55K pre-halving.
Bitcoin has made a significant move upwards, approaching $27,000 after days of stagnation, although other cryptocurrencies such as SOL, ADA, TON, and MKR have outperformed it.
Bitcoin needs to reclaim the 20-week exponential moving average (EMA) at $27,750 in order to regain its bullish status and continue its upward trend, according to analysts.
Bitcoin may experience a period of stagnation before turning bullish again, according to crypto analyst Jason Pizzino, who believes that the cryptocurrency could remain in its current pattern for the next couple of months before potentially surging in late 2021 or early 2024.
Bitcoin remains on track for a massive bull cycle despite recent price decline, as indicated by broader indicators of its price patterns and the use of logarithmic growth curves. The 200-week moving average is seen as less significant as a key price support level for Bitcoin, and the analyst is also looking for an entry point for Ethereum.
Bitcoin is predicted to reach a price of $148,000 after the next halving in April 2024, according to Pantera Capital, which manages $3.5 billion worth of assets, and notes that recent events such as the XRP ruling and endorsements by BlackRock are likely to contribute to the next bull market for digital assets.
Ethereum's price has surpassed Bitcoin's in the second half of 2023, as investor sentiment towards Ethereum has improved and Bitcoin dominance has declined, indicating a shift towards altcoins; Ethereum's oversold status and resilient consolidation above $1,500 suggest a potential bullish reversal in the coming days, but a drop below $1,500 is possible if bears gain control.
Renowned cryptocurrency expert Arthur Hayes predicts that Bitcoin will enter a period of consolidation around the $25,000 mark in the coming months, while also emphasizing the potential long-term value and importance of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
Bitcoin is down 11% in August and could potentially nosedive to as low as $10,000 in case of a global economic reset, according to Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro strategist Mike McGlone.
Bitcoin's correction may not be over yet, according to a trader who accurately predicted the 2018 bear market, as he predicts a fresh move to the downside and a potential drop to $22,000.
Bitcoin could experience a major market correction in September, potentially dropping by more than 16% based on historical performance and predictions by crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen.
Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen believes that Bitcoin is likely to follow its historical bearish price action seen in pre-halving years and predicts that the cryptocurrency will remain within a range of $12,000 to $35,000 for the rest of 2023.
Despite the current market conditions, a crypto strategist believes that Bitcoin (BTC) could experience a significant upward movement, potentially forming a bullish higher-low setup after a possible drop to around $23,600.
Bitcoin bulls may be disappointed as a monthly technical indicator suggests a weakening of upward momentum, potentially leading to a long and drawn-out basing process.
Altcoins could potentially rally ahead of the Bitcoin halving, according to cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe, who believes that the Bitcoin dominance chart suggests a surge in altcoin value rather than a downward market. Van de Poppe is also bullish on Ethereum against Bitcoin, predicting a rise in ETH/BTC to 0.06992 BTC.
Bitcoin has experienced a significant decline of nearly 20% since Standard Chartered's prediction of reaching $120,000, with the cryptocurrency falling for a second consecutive month amid a broader sell-off in financial markets.

Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $35,000 by the end of 2023, according to veteran analyst Filbfilb, who also predicts a potential price dip to the low $20,000 range before a reversal in Q4 and a price target of $46,000 by the 2024 halving. He believes that altcoins like XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) could perform well in the next cycle.
Despite the recent downturn in the crypto market, a key Bitcoin metric shows that 95% of the existing supply of Bitcoin has not moved in the past 30 days, indicating strong holding behavior and potential for a price rally with a buy-side catalyst.
Bitcoin faced resistance at the 20-day EMA, indicating that bears are guarding this level, but the failure of bears to challenge the $24,800 support suggests selling pressure may be weakening, with a potential recovery towards $28,143 if the 20-day EMA is surpassed; meanwhile, Ethereum is at risk of a breakdown below $1,626, Cardano shows indecision between bulls and bears, and Dogecoin remains range-bound between the 20-day EMA and $0.06.
Bitcoin's weak performance and its potential "double top" structure raise concerns of more downside, with predictions of new local lows; however, there are indications that Bitcoin may experience a major shakeout before rebounding to "fair value" and the 200-week EMA near $25,600 may offer some optimism; debate ensues over the possibility of Bitcoin filling the $20,000 CME futures gap; liquidity levels on BTC/USD markets continue to increase, adding to bearish predictions; ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting, the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data release on September 14 brings potential volatility to the market and may impact crypto market expectations.
Bitcoin's recent 5% increase after testing the $25,000 support level doesn't necessarily indicate a victory for bulls, as Bitcoin has struggled to gain momentum despite significant catalysts, while bears have their own advantages like ongoing legal cases and financial troubles for Digital Currency Group. Derivatives metrics show a lack of demand for leveraged long positions, but options markets indicate equal odds for both bullish and bearish price movements.

Fidelity Investments' global macro director believes that a recession could lead to a significant rally for Bitcoin, with the potential for prices to reach $96,210 by the end of 2025 if interest rates decline. He also suggests that Bitcoin's correlation with equities has decreased, making it a potential source of uncorrelated returns in the next market cycle.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, could rally to $30,000 if it successfully retests the $26,700-$26,900 range.
Bitcoin could potentially face a 60% price drop, as liquidity remains negative and global rates continue to rise, according to Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro strategist Mike McGlone.
