Analyst Notes: Crypto trader Kevin, in his recent analysis, pointed out that Bitcoin has one more big move to the upside before topping out. He states,

“This final move will be the most aggressive move and Altcoins will outperform significantly. We’re halfway to third base on this bull market. Somewhere between now and latest early Q1 2025 will be the end.”

Swing trader Roman stated “Just seems very artificial for Bitcoin.” He notes that liquidations could move up before taking it higher.

Bitcoin technical analyst CryptoCon analyzed Bitcoin’s historical price moves post-Halving, noting that the Bitcoin peak in March 2024 is the “first derailment of any kind that the Halving Cycles Theory has ever seen.”

For prices to show a top in late 2025, it would require to “extend the time it takes to reach all time highs (ATHs) again by over 7 months, past November 28, 2024.” That starts the “normal red year” when ATHs are made.

However, Bitcoin continues to remain “on track for a top earlier than normal which breaks the so far set in stone 4 year cycles as the Halving Cycles Theory depicts them.”
