On-chain analyst and popular market commentator Willy Woo predicts that Bitcoin will enjoy quite a rally in the first quarter of 2022.
Speaking in a recent interview with Scott Melker, Woo said that Bitcoin was gearing up for a massive rally that should occur during the first two months of 2022. He said the momentum for the rally was strong following a price pullback which led to an accumulation phase.
Woo told Melker that Bitcoin was yet to clear the “main run of the bull market” and has instead been in a reaccumulation phase following the sell-off in May.
As reported by The Daily Hodl, Woo said,
That’s when everything’s strong. That’s the main phase of the bull run. We’re not there yet. We’re [still] recovering and setting up for it. I think we’re not going to get there until 2022. [The] early phase, January [and] February might be interesting.
Woo predicted Bitcoin appeared structurally price sound for the next six months, despite having a lackluster December to end the year. He noted the shift in token ownership from short-term holders to long-term holders.
He continued,
If we’re looking over the next six months, structurally, it’s pretty strong. What gives me confidence about that is that there are really a lot of coins that have been moved to long-term holders who have held their coins for five months or more, and so they’re at maximum accumulation.
Woo claimed long-term holders were slowly divesting, driving the prices for BTC higher. He argued that even with profit-taking the shift towards long-term holding was preventing the development of a bear market.
