Crypto market expert Kaleo thinks Bitcoin may be lining up for the kind of explosive rally that followed the pandemic meltdown—only with even stronger tailwinds this time.
In 2020, he notes, BTC did not truly launch until the S&P 500 shook off the COVID-19 crash and sprinted to record highs. With the equity benchmark now just a few percentage points below its own peak after recovering from tariff-related jitters, Kaleo argues that a similar “risk-on” breakout could be at hand, and that Bitcoin tends to amplify those moves.
Unlike past cycles, fresh sources of demand now sit on the sidelines. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds—approved only this year—give institutions an easier on-ramp than ever, potentially unleashing a wave of capital that previous bull runs never enjoyed.
At the same time, early corporate and sovereign adopters such as Tesla, GameStop, and El Salvador have started to treat BTC as a reserve asset, a trend Kaleo expects to spread.
The regulatory climate has also shifted. A White House that openly supports digital-asset innovation promises friendlier rules, while faster blockchains and more sophisticated decentralized apps expand real-world utility.
Taken together, Kaleo believes these factors could turbocharge Bitcoin once equities push into uncharted territory—making the current consolidation near $104 k feel, in hindsight, like the quiet before a much larger move.
