Blockchain market analyst, Blockchain Backer, has drawn parallels between Bitcoin's current price trends and those observed during the 2014-2016 period, using an 8-hour BTC/USD chart for analysis. The analyst noted a similar peak in November 2021 that echoes one from November 2016, as well as a range-bound price trend from July to November 2022 that aligns with the period of February to December 2015.
These observations come against the backdrop of Bitcoin reaching all-time highs (ATHs) after the halving events in May 2020 and 2016. However, erratic price actions were also observed prior to these halvings, a pattern that might continue as we approach the upcoming halving event in 2024.
Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao has validated this pattern, suggesting that the trajectory of Bitcoin's price could be influenced by imminent events such as the aforementioned halving or the potential approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange traded Fund (ETF). However, it remains to be seen how these factors will play out in shaping Bitcoin's future price movements.
