Bitcoin analysts look to November as price action looks to mirror past cycles

Bitcoin analysts look to November as price action looks to mirror past cycles

Bitcoin’s (BTC) ongoing sideways price action could flip bullish as early as November if it behaves similarly to previous cycles leading up to a halving event, according to market observers.

On Oct. 10, crypto analyst Miles Deutscher cited a chart from CryptoCon, noting that the recent patterns for Bitcoin are similar to those seen in previous cycles.

“This is typical sideways price action that occurs from Q2-Q4 in pre-halving years.”

He added that Nov. 21 has historically been a key pivot point for Bitcoin’s price to begin trending upward as it heads to the next halving.

For example, following six months of sideways trading in mid-2015, BTC prices started gaining ground around November. Likewise, in 2019, markets spent most of the year flat before taking off around the end of the year.

Galaxy Trading added that a similar cycle could see a Bitcoin “dump” or bottom around November 10–15.

The Bitcoin halving is around six months away and will occur in late April or early May depending on which countdown timer you refer to.
