Signs Point to a Delayed but Explosive Finale
A CryptoQuant analysis reveals eerie similarities—and crucial differences—between the current market cycle and the past two bull runs. What if this time, the script is being deliberately rewritten?
2017: The Classic Climb and Sudden Fall
The 2017 bull cycle followed a textbook pattern—relentless upward momentum peppered with short-lived corrections. But even this powerful rally wasnt immune to a major cooling-off period. In its latter stages, the market saw a 7–8 month correction before ultimately reaching its euphoric peak. That correction window, notably, mirrors the one seen in 2024.
2021: A Pandemic Pause Before the Parabolic Surge
According to the report, shared by CryptoQuant he 2021 cycle broke tradition early, with COVID-19 acting as a drag force. A prolonged correction defined the early stages—lasting nearly a full year. But once the brakes were off, the market soared with barely any looking back. The key takeaway? Deeper, longer corrections often precede explosive rallies.
2024–2025: A New Cycle, a Different Code
The current cycle began in familiar fashion: brief corrections and strong rallies. Yet 2024 brought a twist—Bitcoin surged, only to retreat sharply not once, but twice. From March to November 2024 and January to April 2025, these sharp pullbacks dampened enthusiasm—especially for altcoins, which lagged significantly.
Though the market has delivered brief spurts of bullish energy since, resistance remains stubborn. It feels like someone—or something—is pulling the strings.
The Bigger Picture: Controlled Chaos?
Unlike prior bull runs, this cycle shows signs of intentional cooling, with strong rallies followed by swift, suppressive drops. CryptoQuant interprets this as a sign of strategic market intervention—possibly by large players seeking to stretch the cycle, avoid overheating, and position themselves for a grand finale.
The expectation? A delayed but intensified euphoric phase—a final act characterized by parabolic growth and unmistakable bubble-like behavior.
