Recently, the focus of the crypto market has been on 'when will the bull market peak' and 'how much can prices rise.' Multiple analysts have thrown out significant predictions: Bitcoin may reach the peak of this bull market in October 2025, with prices expected to surge to $230,000 before the end of the year; while Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, and other altcoins are also expected to follow suit and set new historical highs.

Will Bitcoin peak in October? The cycle pattern gives a signal.

Cryptanalyst ColinTCrypto pointed out in his analysis that Bitcoin's bull market cycle may follow the pattern of 'about 35 months from the bottom of the bear market to the top of the bull market.' He sorted through historical cycle data:

• Measurement A shows that the previous three cycles took 26 months, 28 months, and 35 months from bottom to top respectively;

• Measurement B shows 37 months, 35 months, 35 months.

Regardless of the measurement method, the recent cycle points to 'around 35 months to peak.' By this pattern, if this bull market is calculated from the bottom, the next peak may occur in October 2025. However, he emphasized that this prediction only considers the time frame and does not directly speculate on specific prices, but suggests that the increase may exhibit characteristics of 'diminishing returns.'

It is worth noting that although Bitcoin has set multiple historical highs this year, leading many to feel that it 'may have peaked,' mainstream altcoins like Ethereum and XRP have not yet refreshed their historical highs, which is often considered a signal that the bull market has not yet ended.

Will it reach $230,000 by the end of the year? Analysts set targets for Bitcoin and altcoins.

Another analyst, Rekt Fencer, provided a more specific price prediction: Bitcoin could rise to $215,000 - $230,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025 (by the end of the year). If true, this would mean that Bitcoin's price could double in the coming months.

He also made predictions about the year-end performance of 10 cryptocurrencies, with many altcoins expected to experience a surge:

• #Ethereum: Target $9000-12000, which would set a new all-time high;

• #BNB: Expected $2800-3300;

• #Solana: Currently still below $200, target $800-900;

• #XRP: Expected to surge to $8.5-9;

• #Dogecoin: Minimum target $1, with a maximum possibly reaching $2.5;

• #Chainlink: $250-400, #Ethena: $2-3, #PENGU: $0.7-1, #Fartcoin: $4.5-6.5.

Rekt Fencer believes that these increases are not mere fantasies; the current market uptrend has not ended, and the 'explosion season' for altcoins may be coming soon.

Whether it’s the October peak indicated by the time cycle or the $230,000 price target, the crypto market is filled with anticipation. However, analysts also remind that the peak of a bull market is often accompanied by volatility, and investors need to rationally allocate based on their own risk tolerance. In the coming months, whether Bitcoin can reach new highs as expected and whether altcoins can keep pace will be important focal points for the market.
