Analyst predictions
Mikybull Crypto noted on X (formerly Twitter) that Bitcoin’s conservative parabolic curve target stood at $107,000 before a massive sell-off to $50,000.
He stated,
“I don’t know how this is going to happen but I simply follow what the chart tells me rather than emotion.”
CryptoCon, another analyst, noted,
“Although there are still signs of acceleration in the #Bitcoin cycles, I sincerely hope original timing finds its way back. Perfect 4-year cycles since inception, 208 weeks exactly.”
CryptoCon noted that the March 2024 high was an early deviation, resulting in a lower high in June. Despite these variations, he believed that the long-term cycle patterns would persist.
The analyst further highlighted the potential for Bitcoin to follow historical patterns, citing BitTime and The Halving Cycles Theory, which predicted a first top in June 2025 and a final top in December 2025.
He noted,
“As much as I love the Halving Cycles Theory, I am prepared for anything.”

Bitcoin’s price moving above the 9-day MA indicated positive short-term momentum.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator showed a bullish crossover, with the MACD line above the signal line, reinforcing the upward momentum.
The histogram’s positive territory further confirmed this bullish sentiment, suggesting that buying pressure might continue, potentially pushing prices higher.
At press time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stood at 58.19, placing Bitcoin in a neutral zone but edging closer to overbought territory.
