Bitcoin has historically seen corrections during the pre-halving period, but the inflows from the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could lead to a price increase in the coming days, Matthijs de Vries, the founder of AllianceBlock, told Cointelegraph:

 "From its current level of $63,878, the constant inflow into the spot Bitcoin ETF will serve as a major boost to drive price growth in the coming days. With the BTC halving cycle also closing in, the bullish sentiment will be complemented overall. For the end of Q1, I foresee Bitcoin settling at $74,000."

Bitcoin price fell 6.1% during the past week to $64,177 as of 4:30 pm in UTC. The world’s first cryptocurrency is up over 25% on the monthly chart.

Pre-halving BTC correction not over, but investors are buying the dip

Based on historical chart patterns, Bitcoin remains in the pre-halving correction zone, according to crypto analyst Rekt Capital, who wrote in a March 22 X post:

“Bitcoin remains firmly in the "Danger Zone" where historical Pre-Halving Retraces occur (orange). As a result - when it comes to downside, anything can still happen over the coming 26 days or so until the halving.”

Despite a larger sell-off by spot BitcoinETFs, investors are buying the dip, according to a March 22 X post by Willy Woo, a Bitcoin analyst and managing partner at CMCC Crest, who wrote:

“ETF investors showing they're noob. On the first dip ETFs did $1.6b of outflows while the Bitcoin network received $1.1b of total net flows. This means plenty of self custody investors bought the dip.”
