Prominent analysts are starting to cool the short-term hype, and frankly, this makes some traders nervous.
Veteran market trader Peter Brandt says Bitcoin is still moving within a familiar long cycle. Based on previous patterns, he believes the next peak of the real bull market could come around September 2029 — not next year, not soon.
That may seem far off, but there's a reason for it.
Historically, Bitcoin has peaked 12 to 18 months after a halving. With the next halving expected in 2028, the peak in 2029 aligns with how Bitcoin has behaved in the past.
Some hard facts that analysts point to:
Bitcoin has completed 5 major bull cycles since 2011.
Every cycle has ended with deep declines of 70% to 85% before moving up again.
The big peaks in 2013, 2017, and 2021 followed the same cycle rhythm.
In addition, CoinEx's research also warns that 2026 may not be an altcoin party. They expect funds to remain concentrated on Bitcoin and some big names, rather than being widespread like previous hype cycles.
🤔 So what is the mood now?
Not negative. Not overly optimistic either. More like... wait and stay alive.
As reported by Cointelegraph, analysts are not saying the bull trend is over. They say timing is important, and most people are early again.
This market tends to test patience first...
And it rewards you much later.
