The cryptocurrency market could soon experience another significant bull run if a historical pattern in Bitcoin’s price cycles repeats, according to recent analysis shared on social media. Crypto community member Rose addressed XRP holders on X, expressing a highly optimistic view for the coming months and suggesting that a major market expansion is imminent.
Bitcoin price cycle chart signals start of major bull run, $XRP holders watch closely
Bitcoin chart reveals potential long-term growth
Rose presented a long-term chart comparing multiple Bitcoin price cycles. The chart highlights a recurring pattern where Bitcoin undergoes an expansion phase lasting approximately 1,064 days after a major cycle low, followed by a bear market correction of about 365 days. The chart illustrates this sequence in three distinct cycles.
The first documented period covers roughly 2015 to 2018, while the next extends from 2019 to the 2022 peak. The same time structure has now been applied to the current cycle, projecting another extended growth phase for Bitcoin that could reach well into 2028 or 2030.
According to this model, Bitcoin’s price could exceed $170,000, with some projections placing the target near $180,000 during the next major cycle top. Rose shared this outlook alongside a direct call to the XRP community, posting,
“THE BIGGEST BULL RUN IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. ARE YOU READY, $XRP ARMY?”
Mini dictionary: Rose – A cryptocurrency commentator and influencer who shares market analysis and opinions with followers, particularly addressing communities such as the XRP Army.
| 2015 | 2018 | 1,064 days | ~$19,000 |
| 2019 | 2022 | 1,064 days | ~$69,000 |
| 2022 | 2028–2030 (Projection) | 1,064 days (ongoing) | $170,000–$180,000 (Projection) |
Bitcoin’s impact on XRP and altcoins
Although Rose’s message is directed at the XRP community, the chart itself focuses on Bitcoin’s price, reflecting a broader dynamic in the crypto market. Significant Bitcoin rallies have historically supported increased appetite for risk and capital allocation to other major digital assets, including XRP.
As Bitcoin attracts new liquidity, market participants often redistribute gains to large-cap altcoins during later stages of a bull cycle. XRP, which serves as a digital payments asset and has seen growing institutional interest, could benefit from this trend if a widespread market upturn occurs.
The post drew attention for directly addressing XRP holders while presenting a BTC-focused analysis, linking Bitcoin’s historical cycles to potential gains for other top cryptocurrencies.
In addition to potential market-wide gains, factors such as XRP’s evolving regulatory status and adoption in institutional payment solutions may further influence its price trajectory if overall sentiment remains positive.

Uncertainties in current market
While the historical 1,064-day and 365-day cycle model offers a framework for anticipating market movements, crypto markets remain influenced by broader economic and geopolitical factors. Shifts in interest rates, global liquidity conditions, or regulatory developments can all affect digital asset prices regardless of historical trends.
Compared to previous cycles, Bitcoin’s larger adoption and market capitalization may also moderate future percentage moves, even if the broad timing structure appears consistent. As a result, analysts caution that while historical cycles provide insight, they do not guarantee repetition in future cycles.
