Synopsis
Bitcoin’s recent surge to near $100,000 has reignited investor interest. This rally is driven by the halving cycle, which historically triggers significant price increases. Retail investors are returning to the market, attracted by the potential for high returns. However, it’s crucial to remember the inherent volatility of the crypto market and conduct thorough research before investing.
Bitcoin’s recent price movements have reignited investor enthusiasm, with the cryptocurrency approaching the $100,000 milestone. During an live stream, Anush Jafer, Content Lead at Mudrex Research, provided a comprehensive analysis of where Bitcoin currently stands in its market cycle and the potential trajectory of this rally.
Breaking Down the Current Rally
Jafer highlighted Bitcoin’s robust performance, noting that the cryptocurrency recently reached $97,000-$98,000, just 2% short of $100,000. This surge has contributed to a broader market rally, which also includes strong interest in meme coins and projects within the AI sector.
Retail investors are also returning to the market, a sentiment reflected in rising online searches for crypto-related terms. Jafer attributed this resurgence to the perceived potential for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to deliver significant returns during this bull run.
Understanding Bitcoin’s Market Cycles
Drawing from historical data, Jafer highlighted Bitcoin’s tendency to follow distinct cycles linked to its halving events, which reduce the mining rewards for new Bitcoin. Previous cycles in 2012, 2016, and 2020 exhibited patterns of recovery followed by parabolic growth approximately 214 days after a halving.

“Bitcoin tends to hit new highs after each halving, and this pattern aligns with its recovery from the FTX collapse in November 2022,” Jafer explained.

The Three Phases of a Bull Market
Jafer broke down Bitcoin’s bull market into three primary phases:
Consolidation Phase:
A period of price stabilization following significant market events. This phase lasted about eight months before the current rally began.
Parabolic Phase:
Characterized by rapid price increases and heightened investor enthusiasm. Bitcoin is currently in this phase, which historically spans approximately 385 days.
Peak and Correction Phase:
A phase marked by the market reaching a peak before entering a correction period.
Based on historical patterns, Jafer suggested that Bitcoin’s peak could occur between mid-September and mid-October 2025, around 518 to 546 days after the most recent halving event.
Altcoins Await Their Moment
Jafer highlighted that the altcoin market remains subdued, with Bitcoin dominance continuing to rise. Drawing parallels to previous cycles, he suggested a potential shift toward altcoins by early 2025, aligning with Bitcoin stabilizing at new price levels.
“Altcoin momentum usually kicks in after Bitcoin reaches its peak dominance. Investors should closely monitor Bitcoin’s market share for signs of an alt season,” Jafer advised.
Key Factors to Watch
As the market evolves, Jafer urged vigilance, citing regulatory developments, macroeconomic trends, and geopolitical events as critical drivers of crypto prices.
The session concluded with Jafer emphasizing adaptability and the importance of historical benchmarks in navigating the bull market. With Bitcoin making strides toward $100,000, the crypto market remains in a phase of exciting potential and significant opportunities.
