Reflecting on his earlier predictions, he notes, &#8220;Last time we posted our plan of a Q4 upside breakout, BTC was at $58k and ETH was at $2.3k.&#8221; Since then, Bitcoin has risen by 20% and Ethereum by 13%, moves that occurred &#8220;against all the low timeframe technical analysis users&#8217; belief, before the full breakout even happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>When Will This Crypto Bull Run End?<\/h2>\n<p>Astronomer emphasizes that traditional order flow and price action analysis are less effective on higher time frames, leading him to seek &#8220;edge elsewhere&#8221; through multiple data analyses. &#8220;We had our thesis in place, with multiple data analyses supporting not only that the low is in, but also that we likely would see a high timeframe breakout,&#8221; he explains.<\/p>\n<p>Delving into Bitcoin&#8217;s macro perspective, Astronomer uses a combination of time, sentiment, and volume to identify weekly cycle lows. &#8220;The Middle East capitulation event [Israel-Iran tensions] clearly formed that, timed well 28 weeks after the previous weekly cycle low,&#8221; he observes. With the next weekly low not expected until late December, he sees &#8220;still room for upside&#8221; and anticipates that &#8220;price [will] accelerate here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Addressing market psychology, he cautions, &#8220;The market always finds a way to escape on the low timeframes as most traders (&#8216;investors&#8217;) find themselves trapped into short term memory fallacy and simply forget the high timeframe picture.&#8221; Astronomer remains confident in his projection, stating, &#8220;Overall peak is still expected in the second half of 2025, where I think the true time to &#8216;sell it all&#8217; may occur.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-649467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GahildJbYAAj2RV.jpg?resize=1793%2C735\" alt=\"Ethereum price prediction\" width=\"1793\" height=\"735\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For Ethereum, Astronomer notes a similar but compressed cyclical pattern compared to Bitcoin. &#8220;ETH typically drops later near the 4-year cycle peaks (2014, 2018, 2022) and has its surge also later in the 4-year cycle (2016, 2020), making its moves seem more aggressive,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also addresses the current sentiment towards Ethereum and other layer-1 protocols: &#8220;It&#8217;s clear by now that &#8216;useful&#8217; coins are deemed &#8216;useless&#8217;, typical things called for when price doesn&#8217;t move. Yet anyone who even remotely used ETH knows what it can do.&#8221; Astronomer attributes the stagnation in utility growth to cyclical and sentimental factors, noting, &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen massive hype around it in 2021 and that simply hasn&#8217;t been digested yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-649467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GahildJbYAAj2RV.jpg?resize=1793%2C735\" alt=\"Ethereum price prediction\" width=\"1793\" height=\"735\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While maintaining a bullish outlook, Astronomer acknowledges the possibility of unforeseen events that could disrupt the market. &#8220;Despite all the data, there still always is a small chance I&#8217;m wrong,&#8221; he admitted. Citing potential global crises like &#8220;World War 3 (WW3)&#8221; or &#8220;the end of a nation,&#8221; he warns that such events &#8220;can always pull down the market significantly,&#8221; potentially causing Bitcoin to drop &#8220;back below $50k.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, he remains steadfast in his strategy: &#8220;Cycles are powerful in nature, and we&#8217;ve shown why those events shouldn&#8217;t faze you. I will indeed hold on in that case, hedged with large shorts well timed and just continue to ride out the cycle as I do think price will recover from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the analyst cautions traders against losing sight of the broader picture due to short-term market movements: &#8220;You&#8217;ll start to question why&#8230; But so far, so good.&#8221; When asked by a user, &#8220;Wow! You think BTC could hit $350k? That&#8217;s incredible!&#8221;, Astronomer clarified his position: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so. Optical illusion on the chart. It&#8217;s more $150-200k I think we can reach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At press time, BTC traded at $66,475.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-649472 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/BTCUSDT_2024-10-23_11-48-56.png?resize=3628%2C1675\" alt=\"Bitcoin price\" width=\"3628\" height=\"1675\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an analysis shared on X, crypto analyst Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) has provided an in-depth macro outlook on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), suggesting that the next significant market peak\u2014and potentially the ideal time to &#8220;sell it all&#8221;\u2014may occur in the second half of 2025. &#8220;Another month and a half has passed, and the full macro&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[65,73,19,433,115,254,72,138,102,754],"class_list":["post-788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cryptocurrency-market-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-btc","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-bull-run","tag-crypto-news","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-cryptocurrency-market-news","tag-eth","tag-ethereum","tag-when-to-sell-crypto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcotasks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
