Third Correction Phase

According to an analyst at CryptoQuant, Bitcoin will enter the third corrective phase of its current bull cycle. This reportedly started in early 2023. During this period BTC is expected to trade between $80K and $100K during the next two to three months. This points to a time of consolidation before the possible future gains. Bull markets frequently experience these corrections, which provide market stability and momentum.

The analayst further added,

If history repeats itself, the current correction could persist for another 2 to 3 months, with BTC ranging between $80K and $100K. In this scenario, a decisive breakout above $100K could mark the end of the corrective phase, potentially paving the way for a rally toward $130K.
