Bitcoin analyst Timothy Peterson remains confident in the cryptocurrency's future prospects, predicting a 75% likelihood that Bitcoin will reach new price highs within the next nine months.
Peterson pointed out that Bitcoin is currently positioned at the lower end of its historical price range, indicating a greater potential for a price surge.
According to Peterson’s analysis, Bitcoin’s movement aligns with patterns seen when the price has historically been at the bottom 25% of its range, making a rally more probable. He suggested that there’s a 50% chance Bitcoin could experience a 50% price increase in the short term, reinforcing his optimistic outlook.
This perspective is supported by a prior study, which revealed that Bitcoin has shown notable gains in April and October in previous years. Over the past decade, Bitcoin’s average returns for these months were 12.98% and 21.98%, respectively.
Additionally, an on-chain analysis by the pseudonymous analyst Crazzyblockk highlighted significant price levels to watch. They pointed out that short-term whales have a realized price of $91,000, while more active addresses tend to have a cost basis between $84,000 and $85,000. The analyst noted that if Bitcoin dips below these levels, particularly around $84,000 to $85,000, it could trigger selling activity, making this zone a key area to monitor for potential market shifts.
Traders and investors are encouraged to track these cost basis levels closely, as they serve as critical decision points that could influence Bitcoin’s market trajectory in the near term.
