Taking into account Bitcoin’s movements in the past, a pattern emerges of a year when the flagship digital asset achieved its all-time high (ATH) followed by a bear market year, as observed by pseudonymous crypto analyst Moustache on December 22. According to the table shared by the expert, Bitcoin had an ATH in 2013, after which 2014 followed with a bear market. The same price action occurred in 2017/2018 and 2021/2022, which Moustache explained was a “four-year cycle” and not a “supercycle.” If the pattern holds out, this means that the 2022 bear market for Bitcoin could be followed by three years of price increases, potentially peaking in 2025, after which 2026 would ensue as another bear market year.
Great expectations of Bitcoin
Meanwhile, legendary investor Bill Miller voiced his surprise at Bitcoin’s performance during the setbacks suffered by the crypto industry as a whole in recent times, projecting it would likely perform better in the future as the Federal Reserve eases its monetary policy. As he said: Earlier, Bloomberg Intelligence’s commodity strategist Mike McGlone expressed his expectation that Bitcoin would likely experience “a warm spell” and resume its rally in 2023, with a chance to outperform financial markets as the global economy focuses on a possible further decline, and BTC rises to become digital collateral.
