Copper.co’s latest research indicates that Bitcoin’s current market cycle could peak in around 200 days, potentially aligning with a forecasted U.S. recession by mid-2025.
Bitcoin is currently at day 554 in this cycle, which typically averages 756 days from the point of positive annual market cap growth to peak price. Copper.co suggests that this cycle began in mid-2023, coinciding with BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF filing, and may culminate around mid-2025 if past trends hold.
