Bitcoin (BTC) might meet "key pivot point" on Nov. 21, here's why
In a recent X post, blockchain and DeFi analyst Miles Deutscher recommended Bitcoin holders to keep one date in mind, referring to his observations. According to Deutscher's analysis of Bitcoin's behavior in prehalving months, the flagship crypto is still mirroring its latest two cycles. In general, this action can be referred to as "sideways" performance. This phase is typically associated with Q2, Q3 and Q4 in prehalving years (2016, 2020 and the upcoming halving of 2024). As can be seen on the chart, so far, Bitcoin's history repeats itself. With that said, the last days of November (November 21, in particular) could become "the key pivot for a bullish shift," Deutscher wrote.
