I think this speculation can not hold any tangible fact based on the upcoming halving and the movement of BTC now, I can see everything is turning bullish for BTC and we might likely touch the $10,200 range after this minor correction
The post was on January 2 when the Bitcoin price was around $6,900 and was strugglin to reach the $7,500 level. So, the OP's prediction might have certainly happened but it goes the other way around as we can see the price continued to progress touching $9,000 level, though the price back up a little bit today.
