There have been ongoing expectations for Bitcoin to reach a six-digit price for some time now, but so far, this milestone has remained out of reach for the cryptocurrency. However, as experts foresee a potential crypto bull run on the horizon, there is renewed optimism surrounding the possibility of Bitcoin reaching a six-figure price once again. A specific crypto analyst has gone a step further by utilizing historical data to predict when the Bitcoin price might hit $200,000.
Analyzing Bitcoin Trends
In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), a pseudonymous crypto analyst @apsk32 highlighted a 13-year pattern that has been consistent for Bitcoin since its inception. This pattern employs a power law equation and exponential decay to project the peak and bottom levels of each cycle in terms of the Bitcoin price movement.
The Crypto Analyst illustrated the Power Law Cycle Cloud in a video shared in the X post, which demonstrated how the BTC price has surged and declined over the past three bull and bear cycles. Following this same trend, the analyst has made a projection for how high the Bitcoin price could potentially climb.
According to this trend analysis, the analyst predicts that Bitcoin’s price will surpass six figures and could reach just under or at $200,000. The estimated timeframe for this milestone is the year 2025, maintaining the pattern of four-year bull cycles for BTC.
In addition to forecasting the price peaks, the trend also suggests potential lows during the subsequent bear markets. It anticipates that in 2026, Bitcoin could experience a drop of approximately 57.5% from its $200,000 peak, leading to a low of $85,000.
Addressing concerns about possible deviations from this trend, the analyst refers to remarks made by Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, who had warned that “all your models will be broken.” However, it is noted that Saylor’s BTC model ultimately aligns with the insights provided by the Power Law theory.
The analyst also acknowledges the chance of the trend being invalidated, stating, “I’ll keep an eye out for any deviation from the trend. Having experienced an 80% decline in the value of their BTC twice, I’m not easily swayed by ‘this time will be different’ assurances.”
When it comes to Bitcoin straying from the power law and exponential decay trend, the crypto analyst clarified, “We may not like it, but we ought to respect it.” He also added, “While we can hope for a change, we should remain mindful of this 13-year trend.”
