Bitcoin Bull Run: 2025
However, Bitcoin has lost more than 40% from its previous peak. To put this in context, Bitcoin’s last bull run in 2018 saw the coin register a high of $20,000 before plummeting by more than 80%. Du said a bull market happened between 2017 and 2021, and the next one is expected to come roughly a year after the 2024 halving. The theory is that by halving the supply, the price will rise.Why Is Halving Important To Bitcoin?
A crucial part of bitcoin is halving, which refers to half the amount of money that so-called miners get as compensation for confirming transactions. According to crypto specialists, the past two halvings occurred in 2016 and 2020, with the next one scheduled in 2024. Given that both cryptocurrencies and tech stocks were lifted by central bank stimulus over the prior two years, the Federal Reserve’s intentions to hike interest rates sharply in 2022 have impacted both asset classes hard.

Analysts predict that Bitcoin’s current negative phase allows investors to accumulate it. According to a leading crypto intelligence firm, long-term investors were unaffected, but the short-term ones continued to drive Bitcoin’s price volatility. Meanwhile, some investors believe that another “bitcoin winter” — when prices plummet and do not recover for a year or more — is nearing. Bitcoin plunged from around $20,000 to below $4,000 during the last winter, between late 2017 and the middle of 2019.Related Article | Bitcoin Bottom Signal From Bear Market, Black Thursday Could Save The Bull Run
