Bitcoin Repeats Historic Pattern—Is a Breakout Toward $100K Next?

Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market have shown strong recovery, with Bitcoin surpassing $93,000 earlier today after an increase of nearly 10% in the past 24 hours.

The surge follows the announcement of a US crypto strategic reserve, which is expected to include major digital assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA.

The news has fueled optimism in the market, pushing Bitcoin back above the $90,000 level. As Bitcoin’s price movement gains momentum, analysts appear to have been closely examining the ongoing correction phase within the current bullish cycle.

CryptoQuant analyst Grizzly has shared insights into Bitcoin’s historical price behavior, suggesting that the asset may be repeating past patterns that preceded significant rallies. If these trends hold, BTC could be positioning itself for a major breakout in the coming months.

BTC’s Historical Price Patterns and Market Outlook

According to Grizzly, Bitcoin is currently in its third corrective phase within the bullish cycle that began in early 2023. This pattern has been observed using the UTXO Age Bands—a metric tracking how long BTC remains unmoved in wallets.

Similar corrective phases took place in the summers of 2023 and 2024, each lasting around six months. During these periods, BTC experienced resistance before eventually breaking out into new price highs.

Grizzly revealed that if this trend continues, BTC may remain in a consolidation phase for another two to three months, fluctuating between $80,000 and $100,000. A breakout beyond $100,000 could mark the end of the correction and potentially push BTC toward $130,000, as historical data suggests.

The CryptoQuant analyst noted:

Market participants should closely watch the structural dynamics of the premium bands, as a confirmed break above resistance could signal the next parabolic leg of Bitcoin’s bull market.

Bitcoin’s Path to $100K: What Market Indicators Suggest

Another CryptoQuant analyst, OnChainSchool, has provided further insights into BTC’s potential price movement beyond $100,000. The analyst highlights the MVRV Z-Score, a metric that tracks Bitcoin’s valuation in comparison to its historical fair value.

According to the analyst. the current cooldown in the MVRV Z-Score indicates that Bitcoin could soon enter a rapid upward trajectory, similar to the price action observed in early 2024 when BTC surged past $72,000 to new all-time highs.

However, unlike past cycles, the market appears to be moving at a faster pace, potentially influenced by the evolving political landscape in the US.

With increasing attention on cryptocurrency from policymakers and institutional investors, there is a likelihood that BTC could break past its previous all-time high sooner than expected.

Whether this acceleration will be sustained depends on multiple factors, including regulatory developments, macroeconomic conditions, and continued market demand for Bitcoin as a hedge asset.

Samuel Edyme

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname – HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think’s probably unfeasible, I’ve done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
