All eyes are on Bitcoin as it attempts a history-making feat: closing out March with its seventh consecutive monthly gain. If the price holds above February's closing figure of $61,130 by month's end, as charted data by TradingView suggests, it would mark an unprecedented winning streak for the king of cryptocurrency.

This potential achievement would eclipse the previous record of six consecutive monthly green candles, set from October 2020 to March 2021. During that period, Bitcoin witnessed a staggering 445% surge, climbing from $10,781 to a new high of $58,783. However, the euphoria was short-lived. The following three months saw a brutal 40% correction, with Bitcoin plummeting from its peak to $35,037.

While pre-halving periods have historically been associated with price corrections, some analysts believe that the recent influx of capital from spot Bitcoin ETFs could provide a much-needed boost in the coming days. Matthijs de Vries, founder of AllianceBlock, expressed this optimism in a recent interview with

Cointelegraph:

"The steady stream of inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, combined with the approaching halving event, will likely fuel a bullish sentiment and propel prices upwards in the near future. From its current position at $63,878, I anticipate Bitcoin to settle comfortably around $74,000 by the end of Q1."

Despite this optimistic outlook, it's worth noting that Bitcoin has experienced a 6.1% price decline over the past week, currently hovering around $64,177 (as of 4:30 pm UTC). Still, the monthly chart paints a rosier picture, with Bitcoin boasting an impressive 25% gain.

Is the Halving Narrative Still in Play?

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital, referencing historical price patterns, argues that Bitcoin remains firmly within the pre-halving correction zone. In a recent post on X (platform name), he cautioned:

"Looking at historical data, Bitcoin finds itself squarely within the 'Danger Zone' where significant pre-halving retracements have typically occurred (highlighted in orange). This implies that, in terms of potential downsides, anything can still happen over the next 26 days or so leading up to the halving."

Buying the Dip: Investors Show Appetite Despite ETF Outflows

While some investors might be fleeing at the first sign of a dip, on-chain data suggests that others are embracing the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin at potentially discounted prices. Willy Woo, a prominent Bitcoin analyst and managing partner at CMCC Crest, highlighted this trend in a recent X post:

"ETF investors are perhaps demonstrating their relative inexperience. During the initial price dip, ETFs witnessed outflows of $1.6 billion, while the Bitcoin network simultaneously received a net inflow of $1.1 billion. This suggests that a significant number of self-custody investors took advantage of the dip to add to their Bitcoin holdings."
