Crypto Analysis | BTC 38k - 48k Target?

Good day Hiveians!

Join me in analyzing the crypto markets!

 

While not official, crypto seems to be in a bull market once again

Last month I speculated that the bear was about to finish. In fact, I even asked this question as soon as in summer of 2022 and noted that bear markets often end around the new year. While I don't think anybody knows why this is the case, it seems like this time is no exception. Exactly in January the market has made a spectacular trend change and it seems that the bear could actually be behind us.

Back then I also made a chart which has aged quite well:

So far we are following the green path and in this post I also want to look at it a bit more in detail. As a caveat I still want to mention that the global geopolitical and economic situation is still very troublesome. If things should further escalate (and it basically already has with Russia-Ukraine), I think there could be some sort of black swan event that could crash the markets like it did during 2020 when Corona hit the world. Back then we saw a 50%+ correction in Bitcoin in like 2 days... So I think we would see something similar (fingers crossed that we won't!) Of course the markets would be the least of our problems depending on the news...

But we have had some renewed optimism, and the world really needs it!

So all things considered, where could Bitcoin be heading over the next months?

In a previous post, I gave this outlook:

Since price has broken upwards of the blue resistance, it seems we are still on track for the green impulse wave taking us further up.

There are quite a few trend lines in the following chart that need explanation as they all seem relevant. We have the blue ones that are support, the red ones that are resistances and dashed one that is a 10 year trend line that is acting as a resistance as well now.

My premise is that Bitcoin will repeat a similar pattern like it die in 2019, which is that big movement from $3k to about $13k. There are two trend lines converging in summer of this year which will be a bigger resistance (if price can overcome the current dotted trend line). This area is at around 35k. But a fib retracement from the last ATH peak in 2018 suggests that price could go all the way to about 48k.

If it does follow along this pattern, I would expect it to look something like this:

A peak would either form in spring at around 38k or in summer at around 48k. After that I would expect price to head down lower to perhaps meet the blue support line again. This could be at around 20k-25k! So beware :)
