The momentum carried into 2024, with BTC trading between $55,000 and $70,000 for most of the year and posting a 143% year-to-date gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current bull cycle began in mid-to-late 2023, bolstered by anticipation of Bitcoin's 2024 halving event, which historically precedes a bullish year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the report attributes the strength of this cycle to institutional buying pressure and the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US, which have provided consistent demand and limited the scale and duration of market corrections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cycle patterns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 2017 cycle, Bitcoin's largest correction was 33.2%, while the 2020 cycle saw a 27.1% drawdown. In the current cycle, corrections have been more contained due to growing institutional interest, further enhancing market stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key tool for predicting Bitcoin's price peaks, the Pi Cycle Top Indicator, has historically marked cycle highs with remarkable accuracy. The indicator tracks the relationship between the 111-day moving average (111DMA) and a multiple of the 350-day moving average (350DMAx2).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In prior cycles, when the 111DMA crosses above the 350DMAx2, Bitcoin has typically reached a significant price peak. The report highlighted that this crossover could occur as early as June 29, 2025, if the 2021 cycle pattern repeats or as late as Jan. 28, 2026, in a scenario mirroring the 2017 extended cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Price projections<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on historical performance, Bitcoin has peaked significantly above its moving averages during bull runs. In 2017, it traded three times the value of its moving averages at its peak. However, returns have diminished as BTC matures, suggesting more conservative price projections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Bitfinex, if Bitcoin follows the 2021 trajectory, it could increase 40% above its moving averages and reach a price of around $339,000. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, considering the subdued returns, Bitcoin may rise 15% to 20% above its moving averages, placing its peak in the $160,000 to $200,000 range by mid-2025.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, in the less likely event that the 2017 cycle repeats, Bitcoin could peak at approximately $290,000 by early 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While historical indicators suggest the most likely scenario is a peak between $160,000 and $290,000, the path to these heights will depend on market maturity, ETF adoption, and broader macroeconomic conditions, the report said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) could hit a peak of $290,000 in early 2026 if it repeats the price action seen during the 2017 bull run, according to the latest edition of the \u201cBitfinex Alpha&#8221; report.
