Bitcoin prices appear to have reached the top of this current cycle, embarking on a downward trend after winning a new high of $108,786 at the beginning of the year. The story is based on recent bullish momentum and appears to be changing again for the best cryptocurrency as it is trying to regain the $100,000 level.
When will BTC prices reach the top of the cycle?
In a recent post on the X platform, Crypto analyst Brett proposed an interesting analysis of Bitcoin’s price structure and its potential trajectory for the remainder of the current cycle. This assessment looks at the price of BTC from the cycle “Bottom to Presentation” and “Presentation from Top” from the BTC.
Using the previous two cycles as a basis, Brett was able to calculate the number of days spent on Bitcoin priced from the lowest to the present and then to the present. In the chart below, the “blue” box represents the time from the last bottom, and the “green” box represents the time from the “present” to the top of the cycle.
Brett pointed out that between the bottom of the Bitcoin price and the current time in 2022, the time is exactly 903 days. As observed in the highlighted chart, analysts transposed this same period into the previous two cycles (from 2015 and 2018 Bottoms, respectively).
In the previous two cycles, Bitcoin prices reached a new all-time high or cycle peak 161 days after the highlighted 903 days (after the bottom). In 2017, the flagship cryptocurrency took 161 days, reaching its high at the time at around $16,000. Similarly, BTC prices reached a cycle top of around $69,000 after 161 days in 2021.
From this historical perspective, this pattern suggests that the top of the current cycle of Bitcoin prices could only be 161 days away. If the pattern is preserved and the current price trajectory continues, this will place the highest cryptocurrency peak on October 11th, 2025.
However, it is worth mentioning that there were questions about Bitcoin prices according to typical cycle theory. With Bull Run first pronounced in early 2025, recent positive price action in the market appears to be against the expected circular price movement.
