Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) is on track to experience its longest period of sideways trading during a halving year if it doesn't show significant upward movement within the next 14 days.<\/p>\n

According to a dashboard<\/a> shared by CryptoQuant<\/a> CEO Ki Young Ju, the longest<\/a> time BTC took to rise was 298 days.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin achieved its highest return index during a halving year in 2020, when it hit 4.05 points, while 2016 marked the worst halving year in terms of returns, with the index only reaching 2.26 points.<\/p>\n

Despite being the second-best performing year, 2012 registered the strongest start after 298 days, achieving 2.06 points in the return index.<\/p>\n

Longest re-accumulation range of all-time<\/h2>\n

This year also witnessed a major milestone as Bitcoin reached a new all-time high before the halving for the first time in its 15-year history.<\/p>\n

Based on historical data, Bitcoin hit new all-time highs roughly 240 days after a halving event over the past four cycles. However, this trend was broken this year when the BTC price peaked at $73,737.94 on March 14,\u00a0essentially accelerating the post-halving bull run by 260 days.<\/p>\n

However, the multiple corrections registered since the halving have lowered the acceleration rate to 60 days, according to an analyst and trader known as RektCapital.<\/p>\n

The analyst further suggested that Bitcoin is showing behavior that indicates the market is trying to reduce this acceleration period.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the historical “re-accumulation period” seen after each Bitcoin halving \u2014 when the price trades sideways before a parabolic upward movement \u2014 is already the longest since 2016.<\/p>\n

While it took 161 days after the halving for Bitcoin to begin its all-time high climb in 2016, it took 164 days in 2020. As of Oct. 11, Bitcoin has been trading sideways for 176 days.<\/p>\n

Since Bitcoin is already overdue to break out of the re-accumulation range between the $71,000 and $60,000 price zones, Rekt Capital predicted that the sideways period could continue for another two months. This would allow enough time to reduce the acceleration rate to zero.<\/p>\n

That would take the re-accumulation range to 236 days, making it the longest of all time during a halving year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
