The cryptocurrency world hosts many analysts and investors who have been making price predictions about Bitcoin and altcoins since their inception. One of them, an analyst who correctly predicted the crypto market crash in 2021, says that Bitcoin (BTC) is likely gearing up for a sudden rally.
Bitcoin Opinions and Future
Dave the Wave, who predicted the decline in 2021, shared some insights with his followers on a social media platform. According to the analyst, the price movement seen in Bitcoin’s monthly chart is noteworthy.
Looking back, he pointed out that Bitcoin has touched an important support level in the Gauss channel, which has historically preceded larger rises.
Gauss channels are generally known as a significant momentum indicator that can be used to determine reversals in price.
So far, the BTC monthly Gauss channel has served as a springboard for the price.
The analyst also pointed out previous points where Bitcoin reached the Gauss channel in the shared chart. Considering the examples shared, BTC could be reflecting a tendency to rise, as understood from the technical indicator.
Furthermore, the analyst suggests that due to a rising triangle formation dependent on price movement, the beginning of 2024 could trigger a Bitcoin price fluctuation. On January 1, Bitcoin surpassed the $45,000 level for the first time since 2022, climbing up to $45,950.

Another trader offered a different perspective, noting that most people do not expect Bitcoin to quickly reach all-time highs.
I don’t think many BTC observers expect such a thing (chart).
Current Bitcoin Situation
Following an announcement from Matrixport in the afternoon, panic ensued, pulling the Bitcoin price down significantly. The price dropped within minutes, causing fear among investors.
Matrixport made a statement that the decision regarding the spot Bitcoin ETF could be postponed to the second quarter of the year. Following the announcement, the price suddenly retreated to $41,400.
Subsequently, with a recovery, the price rose back above the $42,000 level. In recent minutes, Eleanor Terrett from FOX made a statement saying that the SEC had discussions with Nasdaq, CBOE, and NYSE. Following this, Bitcoin rose again to the $43,400 level before trading at $42,800 at the time of writing.
