      During the previous bullish cycle from March to June last year, Bitcoin saw a massive surge of 266% in value. Bitcoin fear and greed index also saw a rise from 35 to 92.

      27 June 201913889$92Extreme Greed+84.47%+65

      Findings

      Previous Bitcoin bullish cycle can be divided into three sub-cycles

      • Bitcoin price surged by +45% during the first sub-cycle.
      • Bitcoin price surged by +60% during the second sub-cycle.
      • Bitcoin price surged by close to +85% in third sub-cycle.

      Bitcoin price surged by an average of +20% after each sub-cycles.

      We will use this finding to predict future bitcoin prices in the current bullish cycle.

      Current Bullish Cycle

      Bitcoin current Bullish Cycle

      Bitcoin made previous bearish cycle low at 6450$ on 18 Dec 2019, Bitcoin fear and greed index also hit its yearly -lowest value at 15. Bitcoin is currently trading above 10150$, and Fear and greed index is scored at 50 – which indicates neutral sentiment.

      13 Feb 202010500$71Extreme Greed+28.23%+31

      Expected Bitcoin price action

      According to our findings from the previous bullish cycle (March 2019 -June 2019) –

      Bitcoin price rises by an average of +20% after each sub-cycles.

      We can divide the current bullish cycle into three sub-cycles.

      • First sub-cycle started from 6450$ and ended at 8900$. Bitcoin price recorded close to 39% growth.

      Bitcoin is currently trading above 10150$, possible in the second sub-cycle of the major bullish cycle. Bitcoin price had managed to bounce at 9550, which is also a 21 moving average support on the daily timeframe. A Golden cross formation and other technical indicators suggest bullish continuation in short to long term.

      BTC USD – Expected price action

      If we take a +20% average rise from the previous bullish cycle’s findings into consideration than Bitcoin should reach above 12500$ in the current sub-cycle. After reaching 12500$, We expect a correction to 10500$, and after the third and final sub -bullish cycle bitcoin could reach above 18000$ possibly by the last week of April.

      Bitcoin can reach 75000$ in 2021.
