Bitcoin Market Could Experience September Crash, Analyst Predicts

Recent technical analysis indicates that Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market may be following historical post-halving cycle patterns. The analysis suggests a pattern of market rallies in July and August, followed by potential declines in September, before reaching a cycle peak later in the year.

September Presents Risks

  • Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen identifies recurring patterns in BTC's price movements linked to past post-halving cycles.
  • Historically, BTC has rallied in July and August, leading to optimism, but typically experiences a crash in September.
  • This seasonal trend has been observed across multiple cycles, notably in 2013, 2017, and 2021.
  • Post-peak periods have historically resulted in significant bear markets, following strong mid-summer performance.
  • The current cycle mirrors these trends, with indications of an approaching pullback in September.

Market Growth Potential

  • TechDev's analysis suggests that the current market may not be near its peak, contrary to some beliefs.
  • Historical data shows market tops occur around 14 months after specific cyclical signals.
  • Projections indicate that BTC may still have room for growth, transitioning out of its corrective phase.
  • If historical patterns hold true, the market could enter a prolonged growth phase instead of nearing exhaustion.
