Many analyzes about the price of bitcoin in 2023 will indeed not touch prices like the previous ATH
I believe that everyone saying that Bitcoin would hit the ATH in 2023 is just a dreamer. The coin does not have any view to justify such both economically and technically. As always, there would be unrealistic speculators, but to me, such could only be achieved in 2024, not now.
Now that it is 2023, of course we have seen how Bitcoin is doing. Late 2022, Bitcoin price looks very stable at $16k to $20k. There are no big price spikes in 2022. It is possible that in 2023 there will be new surprises with higher price pumps. I think this will happen from next April.
Bitcoin in 2023 will not behave so differently from what it did in 2022, only that it might not touch the high of the year. I speculate that it would possibly reach around $30k this year, but going above $35k might be impossible as far as I know.

Some people say this is part of the process towards the 2024 bull run.
I don't think the process to get to the 2024 bull run will be like that or it will be like you told me, because conditions and situations are things that will greatly affect the course of the 2024 bull run. Bitcoin still needs price improvement in the market and that can only be said in terms of speculation But not for sure. Because everyone still needs to see how the market changes in 2023, especially in the first quarter of this year.
Basically, halving that all Bitcoin enthusiasts expect so much is a tradition, so I will not relate it to what would happen in 2023. No matter what happens this year, there is no way the halving will not do its thing by pushing the price of the coin significantly higher. For now, let's endeavour to make regular speculation to know where BTC would head bit by bit this year and leave 2024 alone to sort itself.
