Could Bitcoin’s Peak Actually Slip Into 2027? Experts Weigh In
The post Could Bitcoin’s Peak Actually Slip Into 2027? Experts Weigh In appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has stirred the pot on X (formerly Twitter) today. He mused that Bitcoin’s volatility “has significantly gone down in this cycle,” and that we’ve been stuck “in ranges for long periods of time.” His punchline? Don’t pencil in a peak this Q4; instead, plan on Q4 2026, or maybe even 2027, for the next major market top. The volatility has significantly gone down on #Bitcoin in this cycle, as we’re stagnant in ranges for long periods of time. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a clear-cut case that we’ll be peaking with the markets in Q4 of 2025.

What does all this mean? Van de Poppe argues that without the trademark frenzy of past cycles, we’re in for a longer run. Instead of the neat four-year halving-to-top cadence, this cycle could stretch an extra year or more, meaning bigger eventual rewards for anyone holding through.
