The cryptocurrency market took a big hit in October 2025. The market entered bear territory and has struggled to gain momentum over the last several months. Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to a new all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025, but has since dipped by nearly 50%. Let’s discuss when the next cryptocurrency bull run could take place and how you can prepare for the next upswing.

Prepare For The Next Cryptocurrency Bull Run

The bear market took over after increased macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. Investors became increasingly weary about high-risk assets in late 2025. Investors began moving their funds to safer bets like gold. We also saw a liquidity drain some months ago, ahead of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO (Initial Public Offering).

The cryptocurrency market works in cycles. While the market is down right now, it is expected to gain steam in the coming years. Bitcoin (BTC), in particular, follows a four-year pattern. The original cryptocurrency has hit new all-time highs every four years. BTC climbed to a peak in 2017, before facing a dip. It then hit a new high in 2021, four years later, breaching the $68,000 mark for the first time. Bitcoin (BTC) hit its latest peak in 2025.

Experts like Anthony Scaramucci have stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is following its four-year pattern. If the pattern persists, we may see another all-time high for Bitcoin (BTC) in 2029. However, the journey to the top begins about a year ahead of of BTC’s peak. Going by that time frame, we may enter the next cryptocurrency bull run sometime in 2028.
