Source Bitcoinist

In the usual style of the high market uncertainty and volatility associated with the current bull cycle, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) fell to around $77,000 in the past week before rising by over 10% to successfully reclaim the $85,000 price zone.

Despite this price recovery, the heavy market corrections in recent weeks have drawn intense doubts about the viability of the current bull run. Interestingly, on-chain analytics firm IntoTheBlock believes the market peak may have yet to occur based on historical data.

Bitcoin Halving Cycles Reveal Diminishing Returns But Market Could Peak By 150%

In its most recent weekly newsletter, IntoTheBlock analysts have explored historical metrics to evaluate the current status of the Bitcoin market. Notably, this insightful report indicates that BTC is still far from its projected returns based on previous cycles, suggesting the crypto bull run is potentially active. According to IntoTheBlock, Bitcoin has continuously experienced a decline in post-halving returns with each subsequent cycle yielding lower peak gains compared to its predecessors. The halving is a crucial blockchain event during the block reward for Bitcoin miners is reduced by half, thereby slowing the release of new tokens to maintain scarcity. The halving occurs every four years and is a major checkpoint in the market cycle. Following the first halving in November 2012, the Bitcoin market recorded staggering market gains peaking at around 6,000% – 8,000% before finding stability at around 1,600% – 4,000%. The market surge post-second halving was notably still strong reaching around 2,000% and settling at 600%. After the third halving in May 2020, BTC experienced some modest gains not more than 600%. Clearly, the BTC market displays a diminishing returns pattern following successive halving, which suggests the premier cryptocurrency’s growth potential tends to reduce alongside price growth. This trend is characteristic of a market reaching maturation as Bitcoin now ranks as the eighth largest asset in the world. Presently, the current Bitcoin cycle has only reached peak gains of 60% post-halving. While this fourth cycle is expected to maintain the pattern of diminishing returns, IntoTheBlock analysts are projecting maximum market gains between 50%-150%, indicating more room for price growth at the moment.

BTC Price Peak To Come In H2 2025?

According to more analysis from IntoTheBlock, Bitcoin is shown to typically attain its market peak 12-18 months post-halving. Following this pattern, the premier cryptocurrency is expected to experience some significant appreciation between mid-2025 to late 2025.

However, it is worth noting that market conditions are currently different especially considering the growth of institutional interest and the recent tariff policies of the US government. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $84,391, reflecting a decline of 1.64% in the past seven days.
