Speaking of a bull run that was 80% complete, the current market cycle arguably began in October 2023, when applications of Spot Bitcoin ETFs caused euphoria among crypto investors. At the time, Bitcoin was trading around $26,000, but the subsequent rally saw it break above multiple price resistance levels in quick succession. This in turn led to a break above the then all-time high to reach above $70,000 in March 2024, and then to the final break above the psychological threshold of $100,000 in December 2024.
As CRYPTO₿IRB predicted, the current bull run has completed approximately 80% of its trajectory, with only 20% left to play. Calculations show that Bitcoin has already risen by about 315% since the bull run began about a year ago. However, the analyst’s projection suggests that the leading cryptocurrency is poised to soar another 110% from its current all-time high over the next six months. Notably, Zduńczyk has predicted that Bitcoin will peak at an astonishing price of over $225,000 in June 2025.
Altseason is tracking Bitcoin’s peak and the bear market is lurking after 2025
Zduńczyk expects that there will be a big altseason, characterized by explosive gains in the altcoin market, after Bitcoin reaches its expected peak. However, he cautioned investors to remain vigilant, warning that 2026 will likely usher in a bear market and potentially see losses of between 80% and 90% due to the highs of several cryptocurrencies.

His advice to the crypto community is clear: “Realize profits and run before 2025 ends.” The analyst also hinted at a major development scheduled for December 27, which he cryptically called a “major release,” although details have not been made public at this time.
Although the CRYPTO₿IRB forecast is bullish, it is pales in comparison to projections from other crypto analysts, some of whom place Bitcoin’s peak above $1 million in the current market cycle.
