Bitcoin in 42-day ‘boredom zone’ — traders debate next move

Bitcoin’s price has sat in the "boredom zone" for over a month, leaving traders guessing about a potential surge or retracement.

Bitcoin (BTC) has now spent 42 days in the “boredom zone,” and crypto traders are divided over whether it is consolidating for another surge or facing a 20% pullback toward crucial support levels.

“We have now spent 42 days in the low volatility and boredom zone,” pseudonymous crypto trader CryptoCon declared in a May 30 X post, explaining a lack of volatility in Bitcoin’s price is the main sign of “boredom in the market.”

Bitcoin is currently trading at $67,680, just 6.7% higher than its price 42 days ago, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin could top $100K but only if ‘high-yield rate’ falls below 7% — Analyst

Bitcoin needs the high yield rate to fall as low as 6% to reach a “sustainable all-time high,” says crypto analyst Timothy Peterson.

One analyst says only one main indicator is necessary to predict whether Bitcoin can surpass its all-time high of $73,700 later in 2024, and it all rests on the shoulders of the United States Federal Reserve. 

“The U.S. high yield rate is a great indicator, and it really needs to drop below 6 or 7% for a sustainable all-time high,” Timothy Peterson, Cane Island Alternative Advisors founder and investment manager, told Cointelegraph. He explained that the primary measure he looks to for Bitcoin (BTC) price action is interest rate movement.

At the time of publication, the U.S. high yield rate — which represents the rate of high-yield corporate bonds because of their higher risk of default — is 7.54%, according to YCharts data.

Bitcoin repeats ‘2016 history perfectly’ amid $350K price prediction — Traders

Bitcoin's price chart is resembling that of just weeks after the 2016 halving as it hovers around a local bottom, according to crypto traders.

Bitcoin (BTC) is replicating the same path as it did after the 2016 Bitcoin halving event, with one indicator signaling it may be nearing its local bottom and another indicating it reaching $350,000 during "the peak" of this cycle, according to crypto traders.

“Bitcoin has repeated 2016 history perfectly, offering a downside wick below the bottom of its current re-accumulation range within a three-week window after the Halving,” pseudonymous crypto trader Rekt Capital declared in a May 11 post on X.

Rekt indicates that the re-accumulation range at this point of the cycle is any price below $61,081— which Bitcoin is currently trading below that at $60,901, according to CoinMarketCap data.
