Bitcoin Repeats History: Is a New Price Boom Near?
Bitcoin (BTC) is testing the $100,000 support level , after falling to $98,000 during the recent sharp move.
Many experts say that the current price movement is similar to the end of 2023, raising expectations of a major breakout.
Similar to December 2023 Scenario
The cryptocurrency market has just undergone a sharp correction after the Fed cut interest rates by another 25 basis points and signaled a slowdown in the pace of interest rate adjustments in 2025.
Bitcoin fell as much as 9.2% from its all-time high of $108,135 , falling below $99,000 , but quickly recovered to $100,000 on Thursday morning. BTC is now hitting resistance at $102,000 , up slightly by 2% .
Famous trader Follis believes that this price action is very similar to the December 2023 scenario.
At that time, Bitcoin also fluctuated between $40,000 - $45,000 before breaking out strongly in January 2024, reaching a 47% increase and setting a new peak at $73,000 .
According to him, Bitcoin could drop to $88,000 before rising to new highs.
Slow and Steady: Bitcoin Is “Gathering Energy”
Analyst Daan Crypto Trades agrees with this prediction, saying that BTC is in a “slow climb” phase before a real breakout.
Daan emphasized that the short-term chart may not be positive, but the long-term trend remains positive.
According to Rekt Capital , the $100,000 support level is key to sustaining the uptrend. If Bitcoin fails to hold this level, the price could fall below $98,000 , breaking the previous important resistance level.
Conversely, if it closes the day above $101,000 , Bitcoin will maintain its momentum and prevent further declines.
Rekt Capital warns that this is the first correction phase after the “parabolic price increase cycle” after the halving and could last 6-8 weeks . However, after this correction, there is a high possibility of a “second price increase.”
Current Situation
As of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $98,900 , down 5.1% over 24 hours .
Despite facing many challenges, the market still expects recovery and a new boom in the coming time.
Will Bitcoin continue to repeat its historical pattern and set new highs, or is this a sign of a larger correction cycle? Investors should be cautious as they watch key support levels.
