No one can accurately predict how the price of Bitcoin will move before January 2024. Currently, the bitcoin market is in a good trend where the price of bitcoin has experienced a significant increase to reach $37k. However, anything could happen at the end of this year, it could be that the price of bitcoin will be corrected again before experiencing a significant increase. Therefore, let's see how far the price of bitcoin will move at the end of this year until the beginning of next year.
Though I totally understand that the market is highly volatile and it doesn't necessarily have to move in the same way as it did in the past, I'm still pretty optimistic for an uptrend in the first couple of months of 2024 because the same happened this year and since we are in the pre-bull-run phase right now, I would expect that to happen again since after a few months in the new year, we will have the halving event which is considered to be the bull run initiator though it doesn't have to be that way all the time.
So, I'm not expecting any big corrections in December, even if it does correct itself, it won't go any lower than the $34k - $33k range and will start recovering again once we hit the new year and hopefully, by the time of the halving event, the price will be around $45k or roughly $50k, in my opinion.
The halving event is the catalyst and the beginning of a new bull season, but don't forget one thing. Historically, an uptrend will appear some time after the halving event ends, usually 6 months or 1 year. So, we should not be too optimistic that there will be no more bearishness and bitcoin will only rise and rise from now on.
I don't know why the OP is questioning the bitcoin price before January, but I believe that the bitcoin price will still decline and correct before and after the halving. We won't be entering bull season anytime soon without another correction.
Better to focus on trying out to predict on what would happen after the halving event rather than on stressing ourselves thinking before the halving. Its true that this one would be the catalyst of everything on which you did really get a point and this is the most nearest thing on which we could really be able to observed on. Somewhat its not really that bad to make some spot on in regards on potential price entries or the moment you do
make out position with the current prices. For example, we are making investment on 38k level, then it would be so impossible that you wont really be thikning for possible dip or correction?
In every step you would make, there would really be that a specific hesitance and worry because of volatile and unpredictable prices.
In speaking about prices in January, then there's no way that we could be able to know or on whats ahead. This is why there's lots of speculations and guesses around
about the upcoming price specially on year 2024 where everything would really be looking interesting for that next year. Lets see on what would happen and it would be
wise that you should really be making your position before its too late.
