As the warmth of summer approaches, individuals deeply invested in the world of digital currencies are abuzz with speculation surrounding the potential occurrence of Bitcoin reaching its lowest point for the year during the month of June. Ash Crypto, a prominent analyst in this field, has brought attention to a captivating pattern that has unfolded over the past four years. This pattern reveals that Bitcoin has consistently hit its lowest value during the sixth month of the calendar year.
This trend first manifested itself in the year 2020, when the value of BTC dipped to $9,013 on June 28th. The subsequent year, 2021, witnessed Bitcoin reaching its bottom at $29,500 on June 22nd. In 2022, the local low for Bitcoin was $19,000, recorded on June 19th.
Moreoever, 2023 has thus far followed this trajectory, with Bitcoin hitting a low of $24,900 on June 15th. If history repeats, Ash Crypto suggests BTC could reach its lowest point this June, then consolidate before potentially breaking its all-time high and surging toward $100,000.
Meanwhile, analyst Mags has drawn attention to Bitcoin’s current consolidation phase, calling it the longest in recent memory. Previous cycles saw BTC consolidate near all-time highs before entering price discovery.
The 2017 consolidation lasted 48 days, while 2020 saw a 21-day period. Currently, Bitcoin has been consolidating for 87 days and counting. Mags predicts a “massive upside rally” once the price breaks out of this range, echoing the optimism of many in the crypto community.
Miner Capitulation and Bitcoin Recovery
Adding another perspective, Willy Woo focuses on Bitcoin’s recovery in relation to mining dynamics. He points out that the current cycle is taking an unusually long time for miner capitulation post-halving, possibly due to the influence of ordinal inscriptions boosting profits.
Analysts compare the existing circumstances with earlier cycles. In doing so, they highlight that the recovery of the hash rate in 2017 took 24 days, occurring during the traditionally slower summer months when Wall Street experiences a dip in activity. The recovery in 2020 was even quicker, taking just 8 days, influenced by the market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In contrast, up until now the present cycle has not seen noticeable miner capitulation because 61 days have passed since the halving. The speculation and the intrigue among market participants in regard to Bitcoin’s price trajectory that comes with this prolonged resilience by miners cannot be overstated.
