Rekt Capital has strong hopes that Bitcoin could deliver gains that are stronger than what people think. They analyzed the four-year cycle of Bitcoin with the halving as a focal point.
According to them, 2023 is the final deadline for its bottoming candle. In Bitcoin’s current cycle, 2023 is the third candle with 2024 being the fourth. This means there should be a price floor this year according to the analysts. They also stated that candle 3, which represents this year, can still generate a decent upside as shown in historical data. 2015, which was a candle 3, saw over 234 percent surge for Bitcoin. 2019, which was another candle 3, saw over 316 percent surge for the asset. Based on this, 2023 could be a decent year.
