Bitcoin Is ‘Highly Likely’ In A Supercycle: Expert Explains Why

Renowned macro analyst Alex Krüger posits that Bitcoin is “highly likely” in a supercycle. Krüger articulated his perspective via X, emphasizing the distinct trajectory Bitcoin is currently undertaking compared to previous market cycles.


A Bitcoin supercycle is a theoretical phase wherein Bitcoin’s price is anticipated to ascend extraordinarily, surpassing its traditional boom-and-bust cycles. This concept implies a prolonged period of growth fueled by increased mainstream adoption, leading to a significantly stronger and more enduring upward trajectory than the typical four-year halving cycle that Bitcoin historically follows. Is Bitcoin In A Supercycle?


With regard to President-elect Donald Trump‘s pro-Bitcoin U-turn and his plan to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, Krüger remarked: “Do yourself a favor and stop comparing this cycle to prior cycles. Bitcoin is highly likely in a supercycle. The crypto industry has just experienced its most dramatic change in history, a fundamentally driven 180 degree turn,” the analyst stated.

Krüger also referred to the rapid evolution of the Bitcoin and crypto sector, noting that it transitioned “from a barely legal pariah detested by the state, to one of the top industries embraced by the state” within weeks—a change he describes as “so extreme it’s hard to find comparables in modern times.”


Drawing parallels to historical financial shifts, Krüger highlighted the transformative impact of the 1970s on gold. “Maybe gold in the 1970s is one. The 1970s was a transformative decade for gold. Nixon’s ending of the Gold Standard in 1971, dismantling Bretton Woods, sent gold surging from $35 per ounce to $850 in 1981,” he explained.


Krüger also addressed the timing of Bitcoin’s potential peak, suggesting that expecting a major local top around March is reasonable based on his previous analyses. “This would be heavily dependent on the slope of ascent, funding rates, and the broader economy. But one should not equate a major local top with the beginning of the bear market,” he noted.


While acknowledging the possibility of a bear market, he emphasized that “the conditions for it are not yet there. It’s also too soon to be expecting a top. Bitcoin bull-runs always last for many months. It’s only been 33 days since Trump unleashed the Kraken.” Related Reading Bitcoin Rally To Continue If This Level Holds, Is $110,000 The Next Stop? 2 days ago


Highlighting the precarious nature of market sentiment, Krüger added a cautionary note: “The moment you all finally believe what I just wrote, then it will [be] the top.” With this statement Krüger underscores the psychological factors that often influences market dynamics, particularly the collective belief in market peaks.


X user Paradox Parrot (@Paradoxparrot) commented on Krüger’s assertion, stating, “Agree. But, ‘this time is different’ is a good way to round trip back down.” In response, Krüger acknowledged the cyclical skepticism surrounding altcoins, asserting, “Sure. Alts will round trip most of it. It’s the nature of the beast. Mind this time has already been proven different multiple times at many levels. I’ve anticipated and covered that here in detail since mid 2023. Btw alts round trip for 2 reasons. A) lack of fundamentally driven demand. And more importantly B) illiquidity (that’s also why they go up in such a vertical manner).”


Despite Krüger’s optimistic outlook, not all experts concur with the supercycle hypothesis. Chris Burnsike, partner at Placeholder VC, offered a contrasting view on X on December 7: “Bookmark it for later: a supercycle is never real – everything is cyclical, though cycles can vary. […] Buying into the idea of a supercycle is how you never sell and roundtrip. Ask anyone who never sold in 2021.”
