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.
After more than four weeks of uninterrupted investor enthusiasm, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has reported its steepest daily outflow since its inception, signaling a potential shift in sentiment.
Pakistan’s aggressive embrace of Bitcoin mining has drawn scrutiny from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is now demanding clarity on the country’s allocation of 2,000 megawatts of electricity to digital assets and AI infrastructure.
A new analysis from China’s International Monetary Institute (IMI) suggests that Bitcoin is quietly gaining ground as a serious player in the global reserve system.
Bitcoin may be on the verge of a major supply squeeze, with dwindling availability and accelerating institutional interest setting the stage for potentially explosive price action, according to Sygnum Bank’s Katalin Tischhauser.
