Why Fidelity believes Bitcoin price is about to explode
Although 2025 has been a bumpy year for the Bitcoin price so far, analysts at Fidelity Digital Assets remain optimistic. They believe the “acceleration phase” of the cycle is still to come. This phase is also expected to be the absolute peak of Bitcoin’s bull market.
High volatility and high gains in sight?
According to Zack Wainwright, an analyst at Fidelity, the coming phase of Bitcoin will be characterized by “high volatility and high gains” – similar to when Bitcoin broke the $20,000 mark in December 2020.
So far, however, 2025 has not yet been a period of high gains for Bitcoin. So far, the ticker shows a loss of 11.44 percent, and the price is about 25 percent below its previous all-time high.
Wainwright remains unconcerned, however, as the current corrections are very similar to those of previous market cycles.
According to the analyst, Bitcoin is currently still in the acceleration phase – however, the end of the cycle appears to be approaching. We have currently been in this phase for almost 260 days, whereas in previous bull markets it lasted between 244 and 280 days.
In this respect, Bitcoin’s time should soon be here.
A Cycle with a Different Face
At the same time, it is of course possible that this market cycle will unfold differently than previous ones. There is no guarantee that every Bitcoin cycle will unfold identically. While this is helpful because it makes price development somewhat more predictable, one must not forget that Bitcoin is influenced by many factors.
These include the macroeconomic situation and the unpredictability of Donald Trump, the newly elected President of the United States.
A different course in the current cycle does not automatically mean that Bitcoin has failed. US stocks are also currently in a rather disappointing phase. Bitcoin’s weak performance cannot be completely decoupled from this.
