BTC spiked from $3,000 to $14,000 in 2019 and also jumped in value during the Covid-19 recovery rally in 2020, along with the bull run in 2021.

“BTC: We just had 4 green 1W candles in a row. Every time this happened (other than April 2018 where it was a lower high) has produced great results. We have seen this happen: 2017 run up 2019 3k-14k 2020. Covid recovery, late 2020/21 run up 2021 August to ATH,” he tweeted.

However, considering that the economy is in a different state this time around, the analyst cautioned that a meteoric rise can be taken off the table.

The cryptocurrency analyst predicts that Bitcoin could touch a high of $25,000 in February 2023 before retracing in price. He warned that BTC is yet to bottom out and January’s spike does not constitute a bull run.

“What am I saying? Bottom in? Not really. Different macro environment and I’m more playing everything safe. That said, I’m still net long and I will be playing this rotation for as long as it gives. Still expecting at least 25k to be honest,” he predicted.
