Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, highlights that the current Bitcoin cycle may differ from previous ones. Based on historical trends and market comparisons, he suggests that Bitcoin is facing new dynamics.

Bitcoin Back Above $91,000

Bitcoin recently reclaimed the $91,000 level, posting a 3.41% gain over the past week. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $91,511, reflecting continued market volatility.

Amid this movement, Samson Mow pointed out a historical context that suggests the current cycle could be unique compared to past market peaks.

Historical Comparison of Bitcoin Cycles

Mow shared a chart illustrating Bitcoin's performance across four major market cycles. The logarithmic scale chart demonstrates Bitcoin's exponential growth since its inception.

  1. 2011–2013 Cycle:

    • The highest volatility in Bitcoin’s history.

    • Bitcoin achieved a 10x gain within 450 days and reached 500x its initial value within 730 days.

  2. 2015–2017 Cycle:

    • More stable growth, with a 10x gain achieved by day 856.

    • At its peak, Bitcoin saw a 100x increase from its cycle low.

  3. 2018–2021 Cycle:

    • Slower growth, with a 10x increase achieved by day 960.

    • This cycle peaked with less than a 50x gain by 2021.

  4. Current Cycle (2021–2024):

    • After 740 days since the cycle’s low, growth remains under 10x.

    • Mow believes this cycle could be markedly different.

Diverging Views on the Current Cycle

While Mow suggests this cycle is unique, Alex Thorn from Galaxy Digital argues that current trends align with historical patterns. Thorn emphasizes that Bitcoin is now outperforming the 2015–2017 cycle and showing steady growth.

Optimistic Predictions for the Future

Analysts continue to offer various forecasts for Bitcoin, spanning both short- and long-term outlooks:

  • Ali Martinez:

    • Martinez predicts that Bitcoin could surge to $150,000 in the coming days before facing a significant correction.

    • Based on past cycles, he estimates a potential 39% correction after this rise.

  • Tom Lee (Fundstrat):

    • Lee forecasts that Bitcoin could surpass $100,000 by the end of 2024.

    • His long-term target remains at $500,000 after 2024, driven by factors such as Bitcoin ETFs and potential interest rate cuts.

Summary

Bitcoin is experiencing a new cycle that some experts believe displays unique characteristics compared to the past. While historical parallels remain, many analysts are optimistic about its future trajectory, with predictions reaching as high as $500,000.
