Bitcoin Price Roadmap and Market Sentiment (Timeline) Phase 1: Late 2025 (November - December 2025) •Status: Peak Distribution. •Vision: This is typically the most "sensitive" period. After Bitcoin reaches its All-Time High (ATH) in mid-2025 (according to the cycle), late 2025 is when "Smart Money" begins to take profits aggressively. •Developments:There will be Bull Traps making retail investors believe that "the uptrend is still intact." Bitcoin Dominance may start to drop to make way for a final "Altcoin Season" (if any) or the entire market may correct together. •Risk: Very High. This is not the time to go "All-in."
Phase 2: Early to Mid 2026 (Q1 - Q3 2026) •Status: Crypto Winter (Bear Market). •Vision: According to the 4-year cycle, the year following the peak is always a bearish year. Bitcoin will seek its fair value zones. •Developments: BTC price could drop 40% - 60% from the ATH established in 2025. Market sentiment shifts from "Greed" to "Fear" and "Despair." Media begins to report that "Bitcoin is dead." Market liquidity dries up.
Phase 3: Late 2026 (Q4 2026) •Status: Bottoming & Accumulation. •Vision: The market stops falling and moves sideways within a narrow range. This is the "Golden Time" for long-term investors (Holders) to start accumulating for the next cycle (2028). •Developments: Extremely low price volatility; the market becomes "boring."
