Recent action has seen Bitcoin price retest the $67,000 price level. Particularly, the Bitcoin price declined by about 8.9% in seven days from $73,464 on October 29 to $66,895 on November 4, as many short-term traders exited their positions. At the same time, a few long-term holders also offloaded their Bitcoins, likely to lock in gains.
According to technical analysis, the ongoing correction is absolutely normal and fine for Bitcoin. Particularly, technical analysis shows that the $100,000 price target for Bitcoin is well in play. Interestingly, this outlook is based on drawing parallels with the price history of gold.
Bitcoin has long been referred to as the digital gold in terms of its use as a hedge against inflation. However, their respective price actions over the years point to more similarities than many investors realize.
Crypto analyst Tony 'The Bull' Severino took to the social media platform X to share an intriguing trend he observed on the Bitcoin price chart to relay an optimistic perspective on the cryptocurrency's long-term trajectory. Severino pointed out that Bitcoin's price movements appear to be following a similar path to historical patterns seen in gold, which went through comparable price tops, price bottoms, breakouts, and retests.
According to the price charts shared by Tony Severino, he highlighted notable similarities between Bitcoin's price action on the 2-week candlestick timeframe with Gold on the 2-month candlestick timeframe. Particularly, Bitcoin's price action has mirrored that of Gold in multiple instances. Therefore, the analyst compared to the current price breakout/retest in the Bitcoin price to that of a similar breakout/retest in Gold in 2023.
Back in March 2023, gold went through a breakout and retest pattern, which set the stage for a prolonged rally over several months up until the time of writing. Severino believes Bitcoin could follow a similar trajectory for a multi-month rally.
According to Tony Severino's analysis, the Bitcoin price correction is ending very soon and is set to go on a notable surge for the rest of the year. In terms of a timeline, he noted the creation of a new all-time high by the end of 2024 and a $100,000 price for Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2025.
Although the analyst's projection is based off of Bitcoin's correlation with Gold, the price target resonates with similar price predictions with other technical analyses. For instance, a CryptoQuant analyst known as CoinLupin highlighted a similar price timeline based on the Bitcoin MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio. Using this ratio, he predicted a price target range of $95,000 to $120,000.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $68,714 and is down by 3% in the past 24 hours.
