Bitcoin could soar to $180,000 in 2025 if key cycle top indicators remain muted, according to Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck. Speaking with podcast host Natalie Brunell, Sigel outlined a clear four-year pattern in Bitcoin’s price action that he believes has persisted through multiple market cycles. Why $180,000 Per Bitcoin Seems Plausible Sigel explained that Bitcoin tends to outperform nearly every other asset class for three years out of each four-year halving cycle, followed by a deep correction in the fourth year. Referencing a drawdown typically ranging from 60% to 80%, Sigel said this decline often arrives roughly two years after the BTC halving event.
