According to a CryptoQuant analyst, the Bitcoin price top isn’t in yet if the pattern of past bull cycles holds any weight.<\/p>\n
As per a CryptoQuant post<\/a>, it’s possible that Bitcoin hasn’t yet reached the cycle top, and that a new all time high (ATH)<\/a> might be achieved soon.<\/p>\n There are two ways to define a cycle.

The larger price high wasn’t achieved until 555 days after the start of the cycle.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Data Shows Nearly 90% of Bitcoin Has Been Mined, Here\u2019s How Long It Will Take To Mine The Rest<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Finally, there is the current 2020 BTC cycle.

Bitcoin Might Reach A New ATH In This Cycle As per a CryptoQuant post, it’s possible that Bitcoin hasn’t yet reached the cycle top, and that a new all time high (ATH) might be achieved soon. There are two ways to define a cycle. The first is to make the initial point the BTC halving. Here is a chart that shows how the price of the coin moved in the 2012, 2016, and 2020 bull cycles based on this criterion: Price vs the number of days after halving in the various bull cycles As the above graph shows, the 2012 Bitcoin run showed a peak early in the cycle, and then later hit a larger one. This second peak took 371 days to reach. Next is the 2016 BTC cycle that also followed a similar pattern of one peak before the cycle top. The larger price high wasn’t achieved until 555 days after the start of the cycle.
