Bitcoin Crash 2025, The Crypto Cycle
Bitcoin and a falling graph
Broken bitcoin, a falling red graph against .
This is the third crypto cycle Iāve written about here on Forbes. So far, as you can verify, Iāve consistently been a bull at the bottom and a bear near the top. The thesis has been straightforward: bitcoin drives the entire crypto market, and the āhalveningā event drives bitcoinās price. Simply put, bitcoinās price roughly doubles because the halvening cuts new bitcoin issuance in half. Thereās always plenty of narrative and hype ā lots of āblah, blahā ā to make the rises seem more romantic or complicated, but my simple theory has yielded enough returns for me to ignore the noise.
This supply cut creates a boom-and-bust cycle: BTC rockets upward and then crashes just as swiftly. So far, this simple logic has been all Iāve needed to consider.
In this chart, you can clearly see the cycles and their progression. The circled areas represent the price levels I anticipate bitcoin might fall to; the higher values represent what I believe are more likely targets. A drop below $30,000 seems unlikely, although itās hard to judge in these hyper-volatile times.
This cycle isnāt destiny. As the 2021 cycle showed, events can intervene and disrupt the expected pattern. Itās important to recall that bitcoin serves as a flight-to-safety asset ā when a country faces turmoil, wealthy individuals often buy crypto to move their assets without baggage or scrutiny. Bitcoin has become the ideal way to transfer large amounts of capital discreetly now that cash is increasingly problematic.
