Analyst Points To 2017 Similarities"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim the $84,000 barrier again, the flagship crypto risks closing the Month in red numbers. Some analysts suggest that BTC\u2019s Q2 performance could mimic its 2017 rally.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bitcoin Retests $84,000<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A week ago, Bitcoin saw a star-of-week pump to retest the $88,000-$89,000 resistance zone. The flagship cryptocurrency surged to a two-week high of $88,765, hovering between the $85,000 to $88,000 price range for most of the week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, as the weekend approached, BTC lost its range, falling to $84,000 on Friday and continuing to dip over the next two days. Bitcoin saw an 8.2% weekly drop during the early Monday hours, hitting $81,278 before recovering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">After hitting its lowest price in two weeks, the largest crypto by market capitalization bounced from the range lows, nearing the key $84,000 barrier again. This zone has been a crucial resistance level since Bitcoin lost its post-November breakout range a month ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, BTC has failed to maintain this level for significant periods. Amid the market correction, trader Daan Crypto Trades <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DaanCrypto\/status\/1906710998267896152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">noted<\/a> that Bitcoin has created another CME Gap, becoming the fifth consecutive week that a gap has been created due to price movement during the weekend, with all the previous ones being closed \u201crelatively quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week\u2019s CME gap, between $82,500 and $84,100, was almost filled after this morning\u2019s rally. However, analyst Rekt Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rektcapital\/status\/1906711101296844855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pointed<\/a> out, \u201cBTC will need to rally more than that to try to seriously challenge for a reclaim of the recently lost Higher Low,\u201d at around $85,000.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-721599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GnYQuZ1WwAE-agS.jpeg?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C607\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"860\" height=\"607\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">BTC To Consolidate For Longer?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ted Pillows suggested BTC\u2019s performance could see a Q2 recovery based on its 2017 price action. The analyst highlighted that during US president Donald Trump\u2019s first term, Bitcoin\u2019s \u201creal rally\u201d didn\u2019t start until 2017\u2019s second quarter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-721600 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/GnXmrRpXIAAHH1a.jpeg?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C536\" alt=\"bitcoin\" width=\"860\" height=\"536\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Per the post, \u201cBTC\u2019s real gains during Trump\u2019s first presidency started after Q1 2027. For the first two months, BTC just consolidated in a range similar to now.\u201d Then, it started to gain momentum in April, pumping from $1,400 to $20,000 until December 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ted considers that if Bitcoin continues to follow its 2017 path, it could see a massive rally toward a new all-time high (ATH) later this year. It\u2019s worth noting that Q2 has historically been mostly favorable for BTC, CoinGlass data shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Rekt Capital also <a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.rektcapital.co\/bitcoin-my-perspective-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">suggested<\/a> that Bitcoin will likely continue consolidating a little bit longer after the recent price correction. The analyst pointed out that BTC failed to confirm its breakout from its triangular market structure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">He previously explained that, over the past six weeks, BTC has been consolidating between the two biggest bull market Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 21-week and 50-week EMAs, in a \u201cvery similar fashion to mid-2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The analyst added that in mid-2021, \u201cBitcoin didn&#8217;t break from this similar triangular market structure right away either, upside-wicking towards and into the 21-week EMA but ultimately rejecting from there to experience additional consolidation between the two EMAs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This could suggest that the flagship crypto \u201cis sentenced to a bit more consolidation between the two EMAs\u201d before attempting to \u201ckickstart an uptrend continuation towards the Re-Accumulation Range Low of $93,500.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $83,297, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-721595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/BTCUSDT_2025-03-31_12-49-17.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C470\" alt=\"bitcoin, btc, btcusdt\" width=\"860\" height=\"470\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim the $84,000 barrier again, the flagship crypto risks closing the Month in red numbers.
