The price of Bitcoin has been on a massive bullish momentum since the <\/span>approval and launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a>. However, a crypto analyst, Jason Pizzino, predicts a temporary halt in the growing trajectory, citing Bitcoin\u2019s proximity to a crucial resistance point that could result in a significant price drop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a recent <\/span>YouTube video<\/span><\/a> published on Friday, January 12, Pizzino shared his insights into the current <\/span>market conditions of Bitcoin<\/span><\/a>, the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency. According to the analyst, the <\/span>price of <\/span><\/a>the top crypto is expected to drop by 20% to 22%, reaching possible support levels of $37,000 to $39,000 before the Bitcoin halving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>halving<\/span><\/a> which is expected to take place in April 2024 is an event that would see Bitcoin mining rewards cut by half to reduce the number of new coins entering the market. This reduction effectively decreases the cryptocurrency\u2019s <\/span>total supply<\/span><\/a> and supposedly increases its value through scarcity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pizzino substantiated his predictions by pointing out that BTC is currently trading at a key resistance level in the bull market that could result in a significant price correction.

However, the crypto analyst also highlighted a possibility of complacency following the present hype which could lead to a major <\/span>price correction.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n While the crypto has experienced an impressive uptrend in recent months, Pizzino emphasized the significance of understanding historical price patterns and market behaviors. He stressed the importance of being prepared for any potential correction or retracement in the price of Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Following the official approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (<\/span>SEC<\/span><\/a>), the price of Bitcoin has been skyrocketing. The cryptocurrency <\/span>surged to $49,000<\/span><\/a> on Thursday, January 11, after Spot Bitcoin ETFs had launched and investors had started trading officially.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, Bitcoin’s price experienced a massive downturn recently after news of <\/span>Vanguard<\/span><\/a> restricting its customers from trading Spot Bitcoin ETFs on its platform spread.
