Are We Entering a Multi-Month Consolidation for Bitcoin? Here’s When BTC Will Bottom

On Wednesday, June 15, the world’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) entered another brutal crash moving close to $20,000. Since then, the BTC price has recovered along with the broader crypto as the Fed announces interest rate hikes on the expected lines.

As of press time, Bitcoin is trading 2% up at a price of $22,423, however, it still remains 25% down on the weekly charts. As per crypto analyst Rekt Capital, Bitcoin might be entering a multi-month consolidation phase. The analyst wrote:

If BTC continues to hold the orange 200-week MA as support and the black 200-week EMA figures as resistance… $BTC could form an Accumulation Range here, just like in 2018 This would enable multi-month consolidation to even as far as December 2022.

Besides, Rekt Capital has another interesting theory to explain why the bear market could be months away from here. Explaining the correlation between Bitcoin and the next halving cycle, Rekt Capital predicts that the bottom can come in Q4 2022. He writes:

In 2015, BTC bottomed 547 days before the Halving. In 2018, $BTC bottomed 517 days before the Halving (discount March 2020 crash). If Bitcoin is going to bottom 517-547 days before the upcoming April 2024 Halving… Then the bottom will occur in Q4 this year.
