Price analysis suggests that despite mixed sentiment around 2020 prospects, BTC/USD is "perfectly" mirroring its 2013 all-time high trajectory.
Analyst Predicts $75K Bitcoin Breakthrough
Timothy Peterson of Cane Island Alternative Advisors identified a striking correlation between Bitcoin’s current price action and its 2013 bull run. In a June 7 tweet, Peterson shared a chart showing BTC’s rebound from its March 2020 low of $3,600 aligning almost exactly with its 2013 recovery pattern.
Key Observations:
- 700% Surge Potential: A repeat of 2013’s 700% rally would push Bitcoin to $75,000.
- Near-Perfect Correlation: Peterson noted the 2020 rebound "almost perfectly tracks 2013’s trajectory."
"Could Bitcoin reach $75,000 within weeks?"

Market Differences: Mt. Gox vs. Today
While similarities exist, 2013’s market had unique factors:
- Dominance of Mt. Gox: The now-defunct exchange controlled ~70% of BTC trades. Its collapse triggered the $1,300 price crash.
- Current Market Maturity: Today’s ecosystem includes institutional investors, regulated derivatives, and diversified exchanges.
Miner Activity Signals Strength
Recent data shows miner behavior resembling December 2018, when BTC rebounded from $3,100. Sustained hash rate growth suggests long-term bullish sentiment.
2020 Price Outlook: Key Levels to Watch
Filbfilb, Cointelegraph Markets analyst, highlights:
- $10,500 Support: Critical for confirming a bull market.
- Consensus Challenge: Few expect BTC to sustainably break $10K without stronger fundamentals.
