"Bitcoin, This Cycle is Different... Projected to Reach Up to $600,000 by 2027"

There is a forecast that Bitcoin (BTC) could continue a longer and stronger upward trend, contrary to the traditional bull cycle theory.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Coinpedia on the 24th, crypto strategist Michael van de Poppe analyzed that "this market is unfolding differently from the traditional 4-year cycle, and the peak could be delayed to 2026 or 2027, not 2025." He projected that Bitcoin could reach $400,000 to $600,000 by next year or 2027.

Currently, Bitcoin holds about 64% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization and has maintained market dominance for over 18 months. Van de Poppe assessed that "this rally is the result of structural changes due to institutional capital inflow, not speculative demand from individual investors." He added that the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs and increased government interest are the foundations for the continuation of the bull market.

If Bitcoin's upward trend continues, the altcoin market is also expected to rebound. He diagnosed that "if this cycle is prolonged, altcoins could show an even stronger upward trend," and "the industry is seeing an expansion of real-use cases and infrastructure improvements."
