Cryptocurrency analyst Rekt Capital has opened up about the potential worst-case scenario for Bitcoin as it approaches the halving event. The focus was on the pre-halving period, specifically the 70-80 days leading up to the halving, examining historical price actions and outcomes.

The analysis began by highlighting a macro higher low, a technical uptrend established in November 2022 from the bottom of the bear market. Bitcoin has been consolidating within this uptrend, solidifying support. Rekt Capital pointed out the importance of this support, mentioning that a pullback to $31,000, often considered a buying opportunity, might be unlikely due to the ascending nature of the technical uptrend.

The analyst discussed the pre-halving downside, noting that historically, around 80 days before the halving, Bitcoin tends to experience a pullback. Comparisons were drawn to previous cycles, such as 2016 and 2020, illustrating periods of downside volatility. The current reaccumulation range was emphasized, resembling patterns seen in the past, especially in 2016.

Rekt Capital considered the possibility of persistent downside wicking within the reaccumulation range in the next two weeks, as seen in 2016. However, the analysis suggested that based on historical data, the reaccumulation ranges closer to the halving event and tends to hold despite experiencing downside volatility.

The analysis also touched upon the potential pre-halving rally, expected approximately two months before the halving event. Rekt Capital speculated on the likelihood of Bitcoin either breaking out from the reaccumulation range, similar to 2016 or consolidating at current levels, possibly challenging the $46,000 range.

According to the analyst, the worst-case scenario would involve Bitcoin losing the reaccumulation range. History, however, indicates that such breakdowns are rare. Rekt Capital highlighted the importance of monitoring the technical uptrend, which may be crucial support in the post-halving reaccumulation period.
