The big question is: how long will it take?

Good evening, fellow crypto traders — hope you’re all having a great day.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately: how much time could ICP need to make a major comeback?

Looking at the chart, it appears a fresh bullish cycle may already be underway. After printing a new all-time low toward the end of last year, $ICP has spent the early part of 2026 building what looks like a strong recovery structure.

After enduring years of bearish price action, Internet Computer finally seems to be breaking free from that long downtrend — something many traders have been waiting for.

Back in late 2023 to early 2024, ICP already showed signs of strength with a solid bullish phase that delivered more than 600% gains. While that wasn’t the full bull market, it was a clear sign of underlying momentum.

What stands out even more is the massive green-volume spike seen after the October 2025 bottom. Even though the move was later pulled back, the signal itself remains highly significant.

Historically, when prices stay depressed for a long period, buyers tend to step in aggressively — and that support now seems visible on the chart.

At current levels, ICP looks positioned for long-term growth.

This view is further supported by Bitcoin’s strength and the improving momentum across the broader altcoin market. Another bullish sign is that ICP has not made any fresh lows for the past five months.

That strongly suggests the bearish cycle may be over and a new market phase is beginning.

As for the transition period — these past few months are already part of it.

Markets rarely move in a straight line. We can expect waves of bullish rallies followed by corrections, then another leg up, followed by retracements.

So while the highest price since 2021 may not happen immediately, the path could involve multiple bullish expansions over time.

If the cycle fully plays out, total upside potential could be in the range of 20x to 35x or even more.

Thank you all for the continued support.

Namaste 🙏
