The Bitcoin halving has now passed, and crypto investors everywhere are gearing up for the next bull market. According to a chartered market technician, a new uptrend forming isn’t just speculation and hype. The analyst claims while it may not happen “overnight” another leg up and a “strong uptrend period” will soon occur in Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been in a secular bull market for most of its existence. After the asset broke out from its first extended downtrend, it climbed to $20,000. Along the way, it ignited a strong interest in other crypto assets called altcoins. These altcoins, like Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and many others, exploded in value and reached irrational prices due to retail FOMO.

The analyst focuses only on classical charting techniques and is endorsed by the likes of Peter Brandt – a world-renowned career trader with over 30 years of trading commodities. The ex portfolio manager rarely charts crypto, but the Bitcoin halving may have caught the analyst’s attention. The chart shared is of Bitcoin on monthly timeframes, so the analyst warns not to expect “miracles overnight.” But even Kibar can’t deny how bullish Bitcoin price charts are given the asset’s history of success. Bitcoin‘s halving has long been expected to bet he catalyst that kicks off the next bull market as it has done in the past. Upside targets from global macro economists point to valuations of over $1 million per BTC in the future. Whether this happens in the next crypto uptrend and leg up that Kibar points to is unknown, but this extended period of bullish price action should be here soon.When Will the Next Crypto Bull Market Begin?
