In its latest market analysis, on-chain analyst firm Santiment finds the leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, hanging right around the tip of its all-time high (ATH) of $68.6K, now sitting more concretely right at $68.0K per market value. Indeed, the sentiment within the market reveals a more cautiously bullish posture than what was witnessed during the previous bull cycles.
Amidst the high mania and huge spikes in all sorts of cryptocurrencies and altcoins, the relative stability of Bitcoin’s sentiment is probably the key ingredient that can help carry this rally forward. Stability can only create a setting where skeptics might. This sustains the balance where critics may be caught unaware by the market moving towards and beyond the $70K level or more.
Investors are aware of the expected breach of the ATH, and they are now anticipating it to happen at any moment, usually accompanied by sudden shifts in sentiments. The crowd perception dynamics will undergo major changes when the main resistance levels are crossed.
Insights on Bitcoin’s Cycle Top Price Targets
Adding to the debate, here is what recent commentary by Mikybull Crypto, a cryptocurrency analyst, had to say with regard to Bitcoin price targets at the cycle top. Institutional metrics which include MVRV (Z-Score) and Realized Log Scale Curves, are tapped in this analysis, in order to highlight the critical markers that shape institutional profit-taking.
To date, the historic market cap to realized cap MVRV Z-Score against historical standard deviations has served as a good enough indicator for cycle tops and bottoms. Projecting from the history of past cycles now reviews a trajectory where the cycle top Z-score will reach 5.3 by the fourth cycle peak expected in 2025.
Most predictions appear to forecast that the peak of the cycle will come during Q4 2025; however, according to an analysis, it may migrate and move to Q1 2025. This estimation aligns with historical precedents, indicating a typical 14-month journey from bullish transition to cycle peak except for the initial cycle that lasted 10 months.
Despite the golden ratio having been surpassed and prices rising in a strongly bullish trend, market corrections are inevitable, as shown by this analysis, which affirms that Bitcoin’s market behavior is cyclical. In most cases, these corrections have preceded major bull runs on the way to the cycle peak.
In light of these findings, projected cycle top price targets range between $184,802 and $200,000, derived from a distilled analysis of the available data. However, the rise of Bitcoin is bound by market sentiment as well as institutional metrics, forcing investors to brace for another chapter in the cryptocurrency saga.
