Bitcoin&nbsp;has months of consolidation left if early bull market behavior repeats itself.
In his latest market <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1803805499793518947/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">commentary</a>, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital drew fresh comparisons between Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>)&nbsp;price action this year and in 2023.
<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="btc-price-forms-similar-looking-range-to-2023">BTC price forms “similar looking range” to 2023</h2>
Bitcoin may be firmly rangebound since its latest <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-halving">block subsidy halving</a> in April, but the lack of BTC price upside should not concern bulls, Rekt Capital suggests.
Looking at Bitcoin bull market phases past and present, he showed that as recently as 2023, BTC/USD experienced extended periods of nonvolatile moves.
“Bitcoin tends to form Re-Accumulation Ranges after the Halving,” he summarized on X.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “But we’ve also seen Bitcoin form a similar-looking range in this cycle already as well (blue circle).”

An accompanying chart directly compared the current status quo to a multimonth consolidation phase that spanned the second and third quarters of 2023.
Should such a setup be in place now, Bitcoin would remain in its narrow trading corridor for several more months.
Other analysis meanwhile <a href="https://x.com/rektcapital/status/1803377226882158595/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">argued</a> that this week’s BTC price correction was “long overdue” based on previous bull markets.
Here, a chart pitted 2024 against the early innings of the Bitcoin bull market in mid-2016.

<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-hash-ribbons-first-buy-signal-25k-btc-price">As Cointelegraph reported</a><a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-hash-ribbons-first-buy-signal-25k-btc-price"></a>, the so-called “re-accumulation phase” is being reflected <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/2nd-highest-weekly-close-ever-5-things-bitcoin-this-week">not only in price</a> but also in miner activity.

Since the halving cut miners’ per-block subsidy by 50%, a new “capitulation” has begun, per the popular <a href="https://studio.glassnode.com/metrics?a=BTC&amp;m=indicators.HashRibbon&amp;zoom=all" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Hash Ribbons</a> metric.
This compares the 30-day average hashrate to its 60-day equivalent, and when the former drops below the latter, “capitulation” begins. Historically, such periods have signaled suitable buying opportunities, with the last occurring in Q3 of 2023.
“I know it sucks, but BTC is not going to break all time highs until more pain and boredom plays out,” Willy Woo, creator of the onchain statistics platform Woobull, <a href="https://x.com/woonomic/status/1803300431180796110/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">commented</a> about the phenomenon this week.
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “On the bright side, miners are capitulating and when that is through, it nearly always ends in a huge rally. Look for compressions in this ribbon. Buy and hodl in these regions.”
