When will the Bitcoin bull run end and the crypto winter begin?
There are various predictions about when the current Bitcoin bull cycle will end.
The historical behavior of BTC allows us to identify when the current bull run might end.
Investors should be prepared for a price drop after the euphoria.
In the last two years, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been rising, recently reaching new price records. The big question with this performance is: when will this bull run end and the crypto winter begin?
After a sustained upward trend, a downward streak usually occurs due to massive profit-taking and decreased demand.
In general, as CriptoNoticias has reported, specialists agree that the peak of the current bull cycle for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be in 2025. But, at what moment of the year? The answer varies depending on the analysis parameters.
According to the asset management company VanEck, "the cryptocurrency bull market will persist throughout 2025, reaching its first peak in the first quarter." Then, during the summer in the northern hemisphere, it predicts a decline of approximately 30% for Bitcoin and a sharper one of up to 60% for altcoins.
"Buy in October and sell in May," says a popular phrase from the financial world, which is due to market trends. Since summer begins in June in the northern hemisphere, certain economic activities decrease due to the holiday season. As a result, markets tend to fall and recover in the autumn that starts in October.
With this in mind, VanEck analysts see a second bullish peak possible in the year, with major crypto assets regaining momentum and reclaiming historical highs by the end of 2025. At the peak of the cycle, they expect Bitcoin to reach around USD 180,000, Ether (ETH) to USD 6,000, and Solana (SOL) to USD 500.
