What Does it Say About Bitcoin Bull Run?

Bitcoin bull run is the most awaited event even for investors, especially after its impressive rally to $109.1k with Donald Trump’s inauguration. Earlier, most analysts anticipated the $100k mark, but now the BTC price target is set for $200k for this year.

However, the recent crash event generated fear of a halt. Interestingly, despite the volatility, several factors, including the cup-and-handle formation, confirm that the current cycle is not ending.

More importantly, he claims that the bull market is about to begin. Many other crypto analysts had a similar take on the beginning of the Bitcoin bull run. In this, the Fibonacci extension, which identifies the top for Bitcoin, suggests that BTC could attain the $225k mark by June 2025.
