Bitcoin Analysis (BTC) Sminston With said that BTC prices are still between 100 and 200% off their current levels. In a recent X post, With shared a Bitcoin price chart using a 365-day simple moving average (SMA) aligned with a power law model (R²=0.96).
Models of exponential growth are often used to predict the price of stocks or equities.
In each cycle, the 365-day SMA of Bitcoin peaks at a distance 2 to 3x higher than power law’s trendline. Model predicts that Bitcoin will reach a cycle high between $220,000-$330,000. The forecast is in line with past patterns where Bitcoin consistently exceeded this trendline when it was bullish, giving investors an optimistic outlook.
Another graph shows Bitcoin’s deviance from the power law, with cyclical price volatility that is not exponentially decayed.
It is a challenge to the popular belief that Bitcoin price cycles have become less extreme with time. This shows that Bitcoin volatility will remain a hallmark of the currency, leading to potentially significant price swings in the next few weeks.
The Q3 of 2024 will be marked by the following: accurately predicted Bitcoin was predicted to reach six figures by 2025 when BTC traded at around $60.000. Analysis of each peak was done by measuring BTC at its cycle highs.
The decaying phase of an investment cycle is when the returns on a particular strategy declines as it becomes more widely accepted. It culminates in a high where the asset value plummets, resulting in mass profits-taking.
Below are the price targets that With has set for each quarter of 2025. These prices were outlined by this report.

Researchers cautioned that their study was based only on four cycles of the market and it should be viewed with a high degree of skepticism.
