A prominent analyst known as CryptoCon has suggested that Bitcoin could reach $45,000 in November, aligning with a classic Bitcoin price cycle. Despite Bitcoin achieving 17-month highs, many expected a pullback. However, CryptoCon believes there is further potential for up to 30% gains from the current price levels.

CryptoCon based this prediction on a Fibonacci retracement model. By comparing Bitcoin’s current price behavior to previous cycles, he demonstrated that BTC/USD still has room to grow, aiming for the highest of the Fibonacci model’s five targets, which signifies a mid-cycle peak. Four of these targets have already been reached, with the fourth target being approximately 3.3% above this week’s high at $36,368. In the interim, there are what he referred to as “phases,” with November now identified as the timeline for the next phase’s completion.
The Path to $45,000
According to CryptoCon, the move to the cycle mid-top typically takes around two months after the end of phase 2. With the first month of phase 4 closing soon, the mid-top could be reached as early as November. He summarized this by stating, “A possible move above 45k by next month.”

Continuing, CryptoCon highlighted two key resistance levels that Bitcoin bulls must overcome for the $45,000 target to materialize, both of which are situated around $36,400.
Diverging Cycle Behavior in 2023
Another analyst, Rekt Capital, pointed out a significant difference in Bitcoin’s behavior in 2023 compared to previous cycles. Normally, at this point in the four-year pattern, BTC/USD would be testing support, not resistance. Rekt Capital contrasted the current scenario with that of March 2020, when Bitcoin reached cycle lows just above $3,000 during a market crash induced by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He noted that Bitcoin’s behavior in 2023 is entirely distinct from what it exhibited at the same stage in the 2019 cycle. Rekt Capital suggested that any substantial pullback could present a substantial buying opportunity within the ongoing cycle.
