The Bitcoin price reached its highest level in 2023 during the Wednesday morning Asian trading session. Moreover, a critical date in Bitcoin’s market cycle has just passed according to one theory as analysts predict the next all-time high.

On November 29, BTC prices tapped $38,350, their highest level since early May 2022 more than 18 months ago.

Bitcoin November Cycle Pivot Point – A Key Factor?

On November 28, Bitcoin analyst CryptoCon declared that “Today is the most important day of the year for Bitcoin.”

According to his theory, all cycles are centered around the date of the first BTC halving, November 28, 2012.

The four years of each Bitcoin market cycle have been divided into accumulation (green), fair value and preparation establishment (blue), bull market and new peak (red), and bear market (orange).

Using these cycle phases, each one so far has pivoted around 21 days before or after November 28.

The green accumulation period is now over, and the blue phase has begun, said the analyst.

The analyst predicted that in this ‘blue year,’ “price will spend most of its time around the median $34,500.”

Ha also predicted an early top +/- 21 days from July 9, 2024, and a new all-time high around the end of November next year.

Meanwhile, analyst “Captain Faibik” predicted that a breakout would occur. “BTC $38K resistance is weakening,” he said before adding:
