As investors look ahead to Coinbase's (NASDAQ:COIN) upcoming earnings report, expectations are muted given recent regulatory pressure from the US to limit banking access for cryptocurrency operations. 

Analyst Notes: Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe said corrections in Bitcoin are likely to remain relatively shallow. He predicts Bitcoin may reach $35,000 to $40,000 before a “harsh correction” to $20,000 to $25,000 in the second half of 2023.

Analyzing the on-chain data, analyst Benjamin Cowen predicted Bitcoin could remain within a set range for the majority of 2023. The indicator Cowen used suggests that this range could theoretically extend all the way to 2024 prior to a sustained bull market rally.
