We could be 20k to 50k in this year, and then next year starts and we go from 50k to 100k and that would be more reasonable and easy. This is why I believe that we should probably see this as a good thing and not a bad thing because it will give us more time to buy as many as possible before it reaches the peak ATH prices all over again.
It is possible that this prediction can happen because the history of bitcoin is now much better than the previous year, meaning the lowest price is in the $20k range, even if at the end of the year it becomes bullish, then that is the reality, we are always optimistic about how bitcoin has moved.
We never wait for the price to go up but when it goes up it will be a regret, do a buying strategy in any way including DCA and when you have funds to allocate buy now before the price goes up to $50k at the end of the year.
