He added:<br \/>\n\u201cFor the 2024 halving in May, that puts the bottom around Q3 this year and a peak mid-2026, but I think we might see things move it a bit sooner because the market\u2019s more mature now with more liquidity.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, Bitcoin\u2019s trajectory remains tied to broader monetary policy, the analyst added. He said a US Federal Reserve rate cut in May or June may \u201cpump more money into the system and push Bitcoin up faster.\u201d<br \/>\nThe halving is a built-in feature of the Bitcoin network that assures Bitcoin\u2019s scarcity, which is considered one of BTC\u2019s defining monetary characteristics.<br \/>\nRelated: Crypto, stocks enter \u2018new phase of trade war\u2019 as US-China tensions rise<br \/>\nETFs and institutions fuel faster cycle<br \/>\nInstitutional adoption and Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may be contributing to a shorter market cycle, according to Vugar Usi Zade, chief operating officer at Bitget exchange.<br \/>\nContinued institutional buying, including by Bitcoin ETFs, paired with Bitcoin\u2019s rising scarcity, may accelerate Bitcoin\u2019s rise to new highs, he told Cointelegraph.<br \/>\n\u201cWith growing scarcity triggered by the halving, Bitcoin will likely retest its all-time high if it breaches the $90,000 mark in the coming weeks,\u201d Usi Zade said. \u201cWhile the halving offers a good basis for growth based on demand and scarcity, the timeline for impact on price can vary over time.\u201d<br \/>\nHe noted that Bitcoin\u2019s growth remains closely tied to traditional financial markets and investor sentiment.<br \/>\nRelated: Bitcoin speculative appetite declines as investors seek safety<br \/>\nBitcoin reached a new all-time high above $109,000 on Jan. 20, 273 days after the 2024 Bitcoin halving, signaling an accelerated market cycle.<br \/>\nSource: JelleIn comparison, it took Bitcoin 546 days to reach an all-time high after the 2021 halving, and 518 days after the 2017 halving, according to data shared by popular crypto trader Jelle, in an April 8 X post.<br \/>\nMagazine: Bitcoin\u2019s odds of June highs, SOL\u2019s $485M outflows, and more: Hodler\u2019s Digest, March 2 \u2013 8<a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/bitcoin-up-33-halving-analysts-institutional-cycle-acceleration?utm_source=rss_feed&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsBitcoin holders are celebrating one year since the 2024 Bitcoin halving by praising BTC\u2019s resilience amid a global trade war and suggesting an accelerated market cycle due to&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127566"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=127566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127566\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=127566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=127566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/cryptospotters.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=127566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
