Bitcoin Soars to $65,000 as Expert Cautions of Potential Consolidation in the Future

Bitcoin Begins the Week Strong, Analysts Predict Consolidation or Correction in Coming Weeks

Bitcoin has started the week on a positive note, with its price currently sitting above $65,000. However, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe warns that the upcoming Bitcoin halving event could lead to a period of consolidation or a correction in late March or early April. Van de Poppe believes that Bitcoin is nearing a potential peak in its current price action and expects a subsequent consolidation phase followed by a correction. Despite these warnings, he acknowledges the overall positive movements in the market.

Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, is also cautious about recent market movements. He points out that Bitcoin is currently at resistance levels, funding is significantly higher than normal, memecoins are experiencing a surge, and ETF flows are stagnant. These conditions, according to Edwards, historically do not support a sustained rally. He describes the current market as “frothy” and predicts a potential correction in mid to late March.

Looking back at early 2021, Edwards draws a parallel with a period of heightened excitement in the crypto space, which led to a correction in early Q2. This correction delayed Bitcoin’s new all-time highs until November of that year.

Despite these concerns, the Bitcoin price has shown a 14% increase since the beginning of March and continues to trade above $65,000. In the next 52 days leading up to the Bitcoin halving event on April 21st, many predictions suggest that Bitcoin will reach a new all-time high.
