The anticipated Bitcoin bull market has been delayed, with experts now predicting a peak in 2026. Analysts have observed deviations from the traditional 4-year cycle, including Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high before the halving and a postponed altseason. A significant market correction in Q1 2025 and a sluggish recovery of Ethereum further indicate that the bull market is not on schedule. Experts foresee a sudden price surge leading to the cycle's peak in 2026.
