Here’s what various market analysts say about the path ahead for Bitcoin in 2022 as the global economic system continues to grapple with inflation.
BTC needs to return to support at $ 48,670

As shown in the graph above, “BTC has touched again successfully the black diagonal as support “ according to Rekt Capital, and “has done it for three weeks in a row.”
The weakness at the beginning of the year has positioned BTC below the established support zone, highlighted by the red horizontal line. Rekt Capital sees this as a potential target to look out for in the short term.
The analyst said:
“However, the recent weekly close means that the horizontal red (~ $ 48,670) has been lost as support. BTC could soon rebound in an effort to regain the red line as support. “
Targeting $ 46,000 in the short term
BTC’s current weakness was also addressed by Cointelegraph analyst and contributor, Michaël van de Poppe, who posted the following tweet suggesting that the rejection at $ 48,000 could lead the price to sink below $ 46,000.
Despite short-term setbacks for Bitcoin, the long-term outlook remains bullish for many investors. Among them is the analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user “GalaxyBTC”, that published the following graph in which outlines a possible upside breakout in the first quarter of 2022.

“It is a matter of time for BTC to break higher, and the later, the stronger the rise. In the first quarter it has only risen “.
The formation of a bullish cup-with-handle pattern hints that we will reach the moon in March
This perspective positive for the future of BTC expressed by GalaxyBTC was seconded by the trader and pseudonymous Twitter user, “Bobby Axlerod”, who published the following graph that describes the anticipated trajectory of a cup-and-handle pattern formation on the Bitcoin chart in the coming months.

Bobby Axelrod said:
“The handle will end up looking something like this in my opinion: $ 58,000-60,000 in mid to late January; a pull back to 48,000-50,000 dollars the first week of February; hit the all-time high again in late February or very early March; small pullback in early March, then a rocket. “
