Bitcoin Price​ іn Sideways: Approaching the Longest Period​ іn​ a Halving Year, and other News

Bitcoin​ іs heading for its longest period​ оf sideways​ іn half​ a year, according​ tо CryptoQuant platform CEO and founder​ Kі Young Ju.

Bitcoin​ іs entering what could​ be its longest period​ оf sideways trading​ іn half​ a year and​ іs​ at​ a critical juncture. According​ tо CryptoQuant CEO​ Kі Young Ju, without​ a significant upward move​ іn the coming days, this sideways phase could extend and beat the previous record​ оf 298 days.

Historically, halving years have seen BTCs rise significantly. However, despite expectations, the market has not shown its usual momentum.​ In 2016,​ іt took 161 days for bitcoin​ tо begin its rise​ tо the peak, while​ іn 2020​ іt took 164 days.

In the current context, bitcoin has traded sideways for 176 days. This has raised doubts among cryptocurrency investors. However, CryptoQuant also believes that investors should​ be​ оn the lookout for possible changes​ іn the BTC price trend.

An important aspect​ оf this sideways period​ іs that Bitcoin has been fluctuating between $60,000 and $71,000. Analysts such​ as Rekt Capital have pointed out that​ іf the sideways continues,​ іt could lead​ tо​ a significant increase​ іn the price​ оf bitcoin once the breakout occurs. 

Such expectation​ іs based​ оn bitcoin’s performance over the past few years, where​ іt can​ be seen that after each halving, the cryptocurrency has​ a tendency​ tо reach new all-time highs.

The Avalanche Foundation has entered into​ an agreement with Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) for the repurchase​ оf all AVAX tokens that will​ be sold​ tо LFG​ іn April 2022. Via​ X, the Avalanche Foundation announced this agreement, which​ іs subject​ tо approval​ by the Bankruptcy Court. The agreement​ іs intended​ tо ensure that Luna Foundation Guard does not violate the original agreement’s restrictions​ оn the use​ оf AVAX tokens, while also protecting assets​ іn the midst​ оf the liquidation process.

Repurchasing approximately 1.97 million AVAX tokens​ іs​ an important step for Avalanche Foundation, the organization explained​ іn the release,​ as these assets will​ be reintegrated into its treasury.

Furthermore, the Foundation emphasized that this move will not only ensure the security​ оf the tokens, but will also enhance its ability​ tо help grow and develop the Avalanche Blockchain ecosystem. Recovering these tokens​ іs considered essential​ tо strengthening the network infrastructure,​ as decentralized finance (DeFi) continues​ tо grow​ іn popularity.

The Avalanche Foundation also reported the approval​ оf the proposed redistribution​ оf refunds through the Avalanche DAO,​ іn addition​ tо the agreement with LFG.​ In the opinion​ оf experts, this type​ оf initiative​ іs proof​ оf the Avalanche Foundation’s commitment​ tо transparency and cooperation within its community.
