April

Over the weekend, the Bitcoin (BTC) crash had the crypto community on its toes. With the price dropping to $60,000, many investors worried that the flagship cryptocurrency was in trouble ahead of the “Halving” event. 
Amid the correction, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff claimed that his previous predictions regarding spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) were correct and presented the possibility of a doom drop for BTC.

Back in March, known Bitcoin opposer Peter Schiff <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/peter-schiff-spot-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">asserted</a> what he thought was the problem with Bitcoin ETFs. According to the economist, the problem with owning these investment products was that liquidity was limited to US market hours, which would mean that investors could not sell if the market crashed overnight.

On Sunday afternoon, Schiff claimed that, as he previously warned, Bitcoin ETF owners would be helpless if the flagship cryptocurrency started selling off that night. BTC traded around $63,460 at the time of his post and recovered in the following hour to <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/bitcoin-bonanza-before-the-halving-analyst-sees-pre-crash-buying-window/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">trade above</a> the $65,000 support level. 
Earlier that day, Schiff had <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1779495261816902094" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">warned</a> of a critical support zone for BTC. To the economist, breaking below $60,000 could “create a formidable triple top.” This trend reversal could lead to an “immediate downside projection” of $20,000. 
Following his dooming scenario, Schiff stated that, at that price, MicroStrategy would “have a $2.7 billion unrealized loss on 214K Bitcoin acquired at an average price of $34K.” Additionally, he <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1779495624284488136" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">believes</a>&nbsp;that BTC’s price could increase “before it crashes.” 
<h2 style="font-weight: 400" id="analysts-unfazed-by-btc-s-correction">Analysts Unfazed By BTC’s Correction</h2> 
Several analysts concurred that the correction was a “minor drop” in the macro picture. According to MacroCRG, Bitcoin’s chart “looks incredible.” The analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/MacroCRG/status/1779839714763198886" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">stated</a>: “They threw a full-on war at her and all it managed to do was wick the range low.” 
Similarly, trader and analyst Rekt Capital considers that BTC “successfully protected the Range Low of its Re-Accumulation Range as the week of the Bitcoin Halving begins.” 
Per the analyst’s chart, Bitcoin is at the “Last Pre-Halving Retrace” during the “Pre-Halving Rally.” If history is to repeat itself, after April 19, BTC will enter the “Re-Accumulation” phase before experiencing the “Post-Halving Parabolic Upside.”

Moreover, Crypto Jelle <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1779827482578780319" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">urged</a> investors to “not get shaken out” as BTC is “consolidating above the previous cycle highs.” The analyst and investor reaffirmed his <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/analysts-bullish-on-bitcoin-set-next-target-at-82000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">prediction</a> of $82,000 after the upcoming “Halving” event. 
However, Jelle also <a href="https://twitter.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1779828100655702151" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">set</a> a higher target for this bull cycle. The bullish megaphone pattern on BTC’s chart “still has a pattern of $180,000” despite the recent correction, as stated in the post. The analyst claims he wouldn’t be surprised “if the meme pattern plays out once again.” 
The correction caused BTC to register bleeding numbers for several periods. The biggest cryptocurrency exhibits an 8.4% and a 3.1% dip in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Similarly, BTC’s market activity has decreased by 32.1% in the past day, with a trading daily volume of $42.56 billion. 
Nonetheless, Bitcoin has recovered 3.5% from its price 24 hours ago, currently trading at $66,275. Since the lowest point of this correction, BTC has surged 10.3%.
