So far this cycle, Bitcoin has spent about 583 days ranging (going sideways) or about 19.5 months or 1.6 years.By contrast, Bitcoin has spent just 175 days making meaningful price action to the upside, or a little less than 6 months.That means most of the time here you spend… pic.twitter.com/VNm0Fduxcr— CryptoCon (@CryptoCon_) February 4, 2025 More Crypto Online noted that Bitcoin has yet to confirm a full 5-wave pattern. A move higher without breaking today's low could push BTC above $103,220. However, if today's low breaks, a deeper correction could test $93,628, with a possible drop to $75,000-$82,000 if that level fails.
