A well-known cryptocurrency analyst suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) might be on the verge of a major breakout, drawing from historical trends.
The trader, known as “Rekt Capital”, notes that Bitcoin typically exits its re-accumulation phase about 154 to 161 days following each halving event. Currently, we are 157 days post-halving, which aligns with previous breakout periods for Bitcoin.

This analyst believes that Bitcoin could be entering a phase of rapid price increase, as past patterns indicate. Additionally, they point out that Bitcoin’s present cycle has only reached 44.8% of the total bull market expected during halving cycles.
Rekt Capital also emphasized that Bitcoin has successfully broken past a series of lower highs.
The cryptocurrency needed to finish the week above approximately $61,900 to signify the end of a downtrend, and it surpassed that mark, closing significantly higher.

However, after breaking out of a downtrend, it is common for the price to retreat back to the previous downtrend level, which would then act as support to confirm the breakout. For Bitcoin to successfully navigate this retest, it needs to revisit the $61,300 region.
Ethereum’s blockchain underwent a significant shift on September 15, 2022, moving from a proof-of-work (PoW) security model to proof-of-stake (PoS).
Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency market has been steadily climbing, now reaching 58.8%, up significantly from 51% in December.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have marked their tenth consecutive day of net inflows, reaching the longest positive streak since December 2024.
A well-known analyst who accurately predicted Bitcoin’s pre-halving pullback last year is still optimistic about BTC’s potential for a major upward move, despite recent price corrections.
