Analysis: Cryptocurrency Market Showing Similar Patterns to 2017 Bull Market

An analysis suggests that the cryptocurrency market is showing a pattern similar to the bull market of 2017. Joe Burnett, market research director at Unchained, explained in a recent report that "the current bull market is similar to the 2017 cycle. In 2017, there was an exponential rise due to altcoin speculative sentiment, and investors had to buy BTC first to purchase altcoins. During this process, investment funds were drawn into BTC. In the bull market starting from 2024, speculative demand is emerging as more companies are accumulating BTC. The spot ETF inflows are serving as additional fuel. However, while it was typically common for an altcoin season to appear after BTC's rise, such movement is not currently visible. For altcoins to revive, they will need a narrative that surpasses BTC."
