Bitcoin price gearing up for next leg of ‘acceleration phase’

A recent Fidelity Digital Assets report questioned whether Bitcoin price had already seen its cyclical “blow off top” or if BTC is on the cusp of another “acceleration phase.”
According to Fidelity analyst Zack Wainwright, Bitcoin’s acceleration phases are characterized by “high volatility and high profit,” similar to the price action seen when BTC pushed above $20,000 in December 2020. While Bitcoin’s year-to-date return reflects an 11.44% loss, and the asset is down nearly 25% from its all-time high, Wainwright
says the recent post-acceleration phase performance is in line with BTC’s average drawdowns when compared to previous market cycles.
Wainwright suggests that Bitcoin is still in an acceleration phase but is moving closer to the completion of the cycle, as March 3 represented day 232 of the period. Previous peaks lasted slightly longer before a corrective period set in. “The acceleration phase of 2010 - 2011, 2015, and 2017 reached their tops on day 244, 261, 280, respectively, suggesting a slightly more drawn-out phase each cycle.”
