In March, a sell-off in Bitcoin may occur ahead of the halving. This conclusion was reached by analysts at Matrixport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the experts’ calculations, the average return of digital gold in years when miner rewards are halved (2012, 2016, and 2020) is 17%. This supports their target of $50,000 for January 2024: $42,265 on December 31 + 17%.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, experts anticipate a reversal and a 14% correction to $36,350.<\/p>\n

Specialists reported that one of their indicators turned bearish for the first time since August 2023. It warned of a 7% decline over the next two weeks. This signal indicates the risks of a failed breakout attempt, which could lead to a rapid price reversal, analysts explained.<\/p>\n

Experts noted insufficient hedging by traders\u2014the implied volatility for a contract expiring on January 12 with a $40,000 strike increased to 100%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to their calculations, the market expects price fluctuations of 7.8% up or down, anticipating the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC<\/span> on January 10. In other words, the first cryptocurrency’s rate will range from $40,600 to $47,400 within a week, according to the options market.<\/p>\n

Analysts highlighted a drop in the funding rate, recalculated to annual rates, from an “unacceptable” peak of 66% at the beginning of the year to 2\u20137%. They noted that in 2023, the parameter was 5\u201310% and jumped to 25% in December before the subsequent rally.<\/p>\n

According to the experts, technically, Bitcoin appears vulnerable. They noted that the approval of a spot ETF based on digital gold could lead to profit-taking. Due to reduced leverage, the effect may be limited.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe remain constructive for 2024. It is worth noting that Bitcoin tends to revisit resistance levels, except for the range of $36,000 to $38,000, which may be retested,\u201d<\/em> the experts concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
