William Suberg24 minutes ago6 months of sideways? Bitcoin price action mimics 2023 lullIt may seem like long ago, but Bitcoin spent months going nowhere just last year before a major BTC price breakout.273 Total viewsListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksBitcoin (BTC) has months of consolidation left if early bull market behavior repeats itself.


In his latest market commentary, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital drew fresh comparisons between BTC price action this year and in 2023.BTC price forms "similar looking range" to 2023


Bitcoin may be firmly rangebound since its latest block subsidy halving in April, but the lack of BTC price upside should not concern bulls, Rekt Capital suggests.


Looking at Bitcoin bull market phases past and present, he showed that as recently as last year, BTC/USD experienced extended periods of nonvolatile moves.

An accompanying chart directly compared the current status quo to a multi-month consolidation phase that spanned Q2 and Q3 2023.


Should such a setup be in place now, Bitcoin would remain in its narrow trading corridor for several more months.


Other analysis meanwhile argued that this week’s BTC price correction was “long overdue” based on previous bull markets.

As Cointelegraph reported, the so-called “re-accumulation phase” is being reflected not only in price but also in miner activity.

Since the halving cut miners’ per-block subsidy by 50%, a new “capitulation” has begun, per the popular Hash Ribbons metric.


This compares the 30-day average hash rate to its 60-day equivalent, and when the former drops below the latter, “capitulation” begins. Historically, such periods have signaled suitable buying opportunities, with the last occurring in Q3 last year.


“I know it sucks, but BTC is not going to break all time highs until more pain and boredom plays out,” Willy Woo, creator of on-chain statistics platform Woobull, commented about the phenomenon this week.“On the bright side, miners are capitulating and when that is through, it nearly always ends in a huge rally. Look for compressions in this ribbon. Buy and hodl in these regions.”Bitcoin Hash Ribbons. Source: Glassnode
