BTC prediction this cycle

A little reflection on the development of the price of BTC. Currently almost 0 interest from small retail investors.

If we look at the price development since the top of the last cycle as a cup and handle (purple curve) or a growing orange channel, from the point of view of technical analysis, the target is between 115-130,000 USD. Around 100t, retail investors will gradually start entering. Everyone expects a peak around Q4/2025 at 180-250t.

But what if it doesn't? What if the big players, to be specific, for example Blackrock, who completely control all the media and can freely manipulate the opinion of the majority, are interested in dumping BTC on small retail players again? And when better than when every analyst who knows how to connect two points with a straight line will shout that the peak is in 6 months at 250-500t USD?

Going even further, I venture to predict that by then the Nasdaq will be between $24,000-27,000. And the US economy is likely to be overtaken by significantly rising unemployment and potential deflation. Not to predict - Nasdaq respects its blue logarithmic channel from Figure 2 rather nicely. Q1-Q2/2025 we will probably reach the top of the channel - the last bottom was Q4/2022, from which we bounced up hard. We still have around 35% growth to go.

And yes, maybe this time everything will really be different and AI will change everything and we will fly with valuations to the sky. But let's be honest, is that really the point of the game?
What better opportunity to send the markets down than in this combination? Q1-Q2/2025 will be interesting. And when everyone is shouting that BTC is going to 500t USD, American mortgages are being taken for leveraged positions and the taxi driver is recommending which altcoins to buy, remember the end of 2021 when everyone was shouting that we are going to 100k.
