Analysts weigh in on the possibility of Bitcoin supercycle in 2021
The overall cryptocurrency market suffered from increased scrutiny by US regulators over the past two months. This coincides with a significant drop in Bitcoin price.
Bitcoin price suffered the most significant one-day drop in price as liquidations hit the $1.3 billion mark within an hour over the weekend. The price drop has wiped out the asset’s gains in the two-month-long bull run.
Analysts have noted a similar trend in Bitcoin price nearly every bull run.
@TechDev_52, a cryptocurrency analyst, has observed that the bull run in 2011, 2013 and 2017 has ended with a red month followed by 2 or 3 months of the Bitcoin price rally.

@TechDev_52, therefore, believes that the Bitcoin bear market has not started. Another renowned analyst and YouTuber @CryptoMichNL believes that the current Bitcoin price rally is a supercycle.
A supercycle is a phenomenon where a market security’s price increases for decades. Lately, financial analysts have applied the term to Bitcoin implying a longer bull cycle than usual.
Michäel van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) believes that Bitcoin price is above crucial support, the green zone from $40,000 to $44,000. As long as Bitcoin price trades higher than support, the analyst expects the uptrend to continue.
The analyst has predicted a bottom structure after a choppy trend up to the $53,000 level before a trend reversal.
FXStreet analysts have evaluated the Bitcoin price trend and predicted a bounce after crashing to $42,000.
