Bitcoin’s 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.
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 starting gaining ground around November. Likewise in 2019, markets spent most of the year flat before taking off around the end of the year.
Self-proclaimed crypto trader and technical analyst “Mags” made a similar observation, noting that BTC is currently sitting 60% below its all-time high at around 200 days before its scheduled halving, similar to 2015 and 2019.
Bitcoin Halving in Just 200 Days
Ever wondered where Bitcoin was 200 days before in the previous halvings?
In 2016, BTC was -65% below its ATH.
In 2019, BTC was -60% below its ATH.
In 2023, BTC is currently -60% below its ATH.

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.
