Category: None

Bitcoin has recovered from its twelve-day low of just below $98,000 on Monday to reach an intraday high of $103,100 during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session. The asset only spent a few hours in the five-figure territory, finding solid support from which to bounce.
On Jan. 28, analyst ‘Rekt Capital’ said that Bitcoin had completed its first price discovery uptrend and most likely completed its initial price discovery correction.
“Bitcoin should be able to embark on its second price discovery uptrend to new highs,” if history rhymes over the next two weeks, they added.

Bitcoin Price Discovery
Price discovery is when buyers and sellers set the spot price or the fair price of an asset, and new territory is when BTC moves higher to mark new all-time highs.
The analyst observed that in week 14 of the 2017 cycle, Bitcoin was recovering from its first price discovery correction only to make new highs in week 16.
In the same week of the 2021 cycle, BTC was still just bottoming on its first price discovery correction, only to make new highs in week 16, he added.
It is the fourteenth week of the 2025 cycle right now, he said, with the implication that by mid-February, the second phase could begin, if history rhymes.
The analyst also said that it was still “relatively early on” in the Bitcoin “parabolic phase” of this cycle, which has historically lasted around 300 days on average. It is currently day 82 of this parabolic phase.
Meanwhile, the crypto community is lamenting American TV personality Jim Cramer mentioning Bitcoin again. “You should own Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a great thing to have in your portfolio,” he said on CNBC’s Mad Money on Monday.
Cramer is known for his controversial opinions on Bitcoin, whichchange like the wind, and his jinxing of markets when he makes another one of his predictions.
