This cycle as with the previous three cycles for $BTC all saw corrections at this point after the halving.

More Crypto Online noted that Bitcoin's price has moved upward as anticipated, with further short-term upside likely. However, the overall corrective pattern to the downside appears incomplete. The current movement aligns with the "yellow scenario," and a break above $97,450 would further confirm this trajectory.
