In a recent tweet, well-known crypto analyst Rekt Capital says dug in the potential timeline for the next Bitcoin market peak, highlighting the significant impact of the halving cycle on building BTC’s market path.
Since the Bitcoin halving will take place between today and tomorrow, April 20, Bitcoin has seen less significant market movements. At the time of writing, the asset has a market price of $64,578.
Analyst: ‘When Can Bitcoin Peak in This Bull Market?’
According to Rekt Capital’s analysis, Bitcoin typically reaches its bull market peak between 518 and 546 days after a halving. Applying this historical timeline, the next expected bull market peak could fall between mid-September and mid-October 2025.
However, as revealed by Rekt Capital, recent market trends suggest a possible acceleration in Bitcoin’s ongoing cycle compared to historical patterns, evidenced by the cryptocurrency reaching new all-time highs about 260 days earlier than normal.
Despite this apparent acceleration, Rekt Capital noted:
Bitcoin has experienced a Pre-Halving Retrace over the past month. As a result, Bitcoin has slowed and slowed the cycle by 30 days so far. So while Bitcoin may have accelerated by ~260 days over the past month… Today this acceleration is now closer to ~230 days due to the current Pre-Halving Retrace.
Furthermore, Rekt Capital introduced an alternative viewpoint, the ‘Accelerated Perspective’, which takes into account the duration from when Bitcoin crosses its previous peak to the expected peak of the bull market.
Given Bitcoin’s recent setting of new all-time highs in March, this perspective implies that the subsequent bull market peak could occur between December 2024 and February 2025.

BTC Price Dynamics Amid Market Fluctuations
Meanwhile, amid recent market fluctuations, BTC is undergoing a slight recovery. At the time of writing, the price had increased marginally by 1.4%, pushing the market price above $64,000. This recovery follows a one-week decline in which Bitcoin saw a decline of almost 10%.
In light of these developments, crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe has shared insights into the possible implications of the upcoming BTC halving. Van de Poppe suggests a shift in focus from Bitcoin once the halving occurs, and speculates on possible changes in market narratives.
Although he didn’t specify the exact story shift, Van de Poppe previously said outlined expectations for the crypto market, including an expected focus on Ethereum (ETH) and projects focused on decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and Real World Assets (RWA) post-halving.
Expectation:
– #Bitcoin consolidate. – #Altcoins bouncing in their Bitcoin pairs. – Story to switch to ETH and DePIN/RWA. – Altcoin strength from Q2/summer. – Corrections in Q3.
It’s going to be great, just buy the dip.
