{"content":"⏳ Bitcoin’s Final Act Begins—What’s Brewing Beneath the Sideways Trend? 🌀📈 Bitcoin has just surged above $123,000 before falling to $117,000. After hitting a bottleneck, the digital asset may be peaking. Analyst Merlijn The Trader says Bitcoin will continue to rally. He said the Bitcoin price still yet to do its ‘final act’ before a peak is discussed. Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Continues There were claims that the 4-year cycle had broken when Bitcoin reached record highs pre-halving. The 4-year cycle is linked to Bitcoin halving events, which decrease miners' block rewards in half every four years. Each 4-year half starts a new bull market, making the 4-year cycle more intriguing than just block rewards. As with the prior three bull cycles, Bitcoin is projected to follow suit. After halving, the market rallies for a year and peaks one year later. Based on this pattern, Bitcoin and the crypto market should keep rising until peaking later this year. Based on this 4-year cycle, the analyst expects further price hikes. The chart illustrates that Bitcoin prices usually decrease for one year and then rise for three, yet thus far it has only rallied for two, leaving 2025 as another rising year. Bitcoin is still far from bull market highs. Thus, its peak in 2025 is still far off. In each bull cycle, Bitcoin has risen 3x beyond its previous all-time highs, and this year it might reach 2x above $69,000. If the 4-year cycle continues, Bitcoin's price rise is far from over. The analyst's graphic depicts Bitcoin's likely top based on prior cycles, and BTC is still in the middle. The top of this box puts BTC at $200,000 before a top. The expert predicts another run to all-time highs as Bitcoin enters the “greenest stretch of them all”. This projection predicts another 50% Bitcoin gain before the bull market ends. #BTC #StrategyBTCPurchase #AltcoinBreakout #PowellVsTrump $BTC ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025072025/07/21/3967fb393c9745c09de561fbd157ebac.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BTC/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
