According to financial institution VanEck, Bitcoin (BTC) is nearing the end of its dip cycle. The firm highlights that 8 of the 12 capitulation have fired off and long-term holders have lost 356,000 BTC over the last month. Despite long-term holders letting go of their BTC, the asset has remained more or less flat over the last month. The development could be a sign that the downtrend is near its end and we are at the bottom. Let’s discuss if it time to go bullish on BTC now.
Is It Time To Go Bullish Since The Bitcoin Dip Nearing Its End?

Bitcoin (BTC) saw quite a pullback earlier this year after hitting a new all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025. The reversal was likely due to increased macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Investors were not ready to put their money in high-risk assets and chose safer bets, such as gold.
Another factor is Bitcoin’s (BTC) four-year market cycle. BTC has climbed to new all-time highs after every four years. The asset has hit a peak in 2017, 2021, and 2025. Hence, it was only natural that the asset would face a correction after its latest peak. Many experts anticipate BTC’s four-year pattern to continue. Going by that trajectory, BTC will most likely hit a new all-time high sometime in 2029. However, the journey to a new peak in 2029 may start sometime in 2027. If that is the case, we may be near the end of the current bear market.

Inflation also plays a role in Bitcoin’s (BTC) price movements. CPI (Consumer Price Index) figures have been going down in the US and the Federal Reserve may decide to cut interest rates if inflation falls within the Fed’s 2% target. Such a development could lead to a surge in risky investments. Bitcoin (BTC) could gain under such circumstances.
