According to an analyst, Bitcoin may be on the cusp of a major breakout based on historical post-halving trends. Bitcoin’s price movement typically aligns with reaccumulation phases, and it’s now 157 days since the last halving.
An analyst has speculated that a breakout in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets may be imminent if past cycle patterns are any indication.
