Bitcoin just had a blockbuster first quarter, skyrocketing 64% and leaving analysts scratching their heads about what's next. Buckle up, because things might get bumpy.

"Screwy price action" is how crypto analyst Phoenix Desmond describes the potential future for Bitcoin. The consistent upward trend, even in weekly and monthly closings, is unlike anything we've seen before.

With the Bitcoin halving just around the corner (April 20th!), some predict a supply shock-induced price surge. But investors are playing it cool – short and long positions are balanced, suggesting no clear consensus on where the price is headed.

Here's a taste of the contrasting predictions:

Rekt Capital: Bitcoin might consolidate between $60k and $70k for a while. Not exactly a moon landing, but stability has its charms.

Michael van de Poppe: The pre-halving hype and ETF launch might be fizzling out. Brace yourselves for a "normal" price level before a new narrative takes over.

One thing's for sure: the Bitcoin story is far from over. This first-quarter surge might just be the opening act of a wild and unpredictable year. So, grab your popcorn (or your emergency panic button), and get ready for the next chapter!
