Bitcoin’s January Dip: A Bullish Trend Scenario Repeating Itself?

Bitcoin's negative performance to start the year might not be a cause for concern. A look at historical trends suggests this familiar January dip could be setting the stage for new all-time highs in the months ahead as the post-halving bull market plays out. Will history repeat itself?

The king of cryptocurrencies hasn’t had its final say on all-time highs just yet. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has been recording negative performance. But this admittedly unpleasant drop may not be as surprising as it seems. In fact, BTC has already experienced historic early-year declines during its previous post-halving bull markets – dips that were generally followed by spectacular rises, with records broken just a few months later.

Bitcoin’s Decline: A Cyclical Pattern?

Bitcoin’s rise has never been a straight line. On the contrary, its legendary volatility often discourages investors who are too eager or fixated on its price curve over too short a time frame to take the necessary step back.

One only has to look at its past performance to understand this. Even a significant correction in its price does not invalidate an entire post-halving bull market. Especially when it is driven by unprecedented adoption.

This observation was made by crypto analyst Axel Bitblaze on the X network. Comparing it to the January declines recorded during the 2017 (-30%) and 2021 (-25%) bull markets – that is, before the historical peaks of these two cycles were reached.

The drop in BTC in January has always been a common phenomenon in post-halving years. In January 2017, BTC went from $1185 to $800. In January 2021, BTC went from $42,000 to $28,000

An ATH Still to Come for BTC?

This volatile setback could therefore be the prelude to further rises to come for BTC. Especially if we consider, as analyst Crypto Rover does, that the current 10% decline in Bitcoin “is just a small drop compared to what we’ve seen in previous cycles”.

An analysis also shared by crypto trader Stockmoney Lizards on the X network, chart in support. Because the latter considers that “BTC has NOT reached the ultimate hype/pump phase” linked to each of its historical peaks.

This cycle still has the fuel needed for the next 12 months… With mass adoption, pro-crypto governments around the world, ETFs, etc., I think this underlines this hypothesis.
