Bitcoin’s current market downturn is unlikely to last much longer, according to crypto analyst Timothy Peterson, who believes a recovery could be on the horizon within the next three months.
Examining past trends, he argues that this cycle fits within Bitcoin’s historical patterns of corrections.
Since 2015, Bitcoin has faced ten significant price declines of at least 20% from previous highs, typically occurring once per year. However, only four instances—2018, 2021, 2022, and 2024—have endured longer than the present downturn.
Despite this, Peterson considers the current bear market to be relatively weak, suggesting that Bitcoin is unlikely to drop below $50,000.
He also sees strong upward momentum, making it difficult for the asset to fall beneath $80,000, particularly as global monetary policies shift toward easing.
Looking ahead, Peterson expects Bitcoin to experience a temporary price dip over the next month before rebounding sharply after April 15.
He predicts gains of 20-40% in the weeks that follow, which could reignite interest in the market and draw in fresh investors. If this scenario plays out, he believes Bitcoin’s price could surge further as renewed optimism takes hold.
Dan Tapiero, a seasoned macro investor and hedge fund manager, sees potential for a significant Bitcoin surge if the U.S. economy hits a downturn that pushes the Federal Reserve toward aggressive rate cuts.
Bitcoin rose steadily in April, breaking through the psychological barrier of $100,000.
As global crypto companies reconsider their U.S. strategies due to rising geopolitical tensions, Hive Digital Technologies is betting on Latin America — specifically Paraguay — as its next growth frontier.
