CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan said in a Jan. 6 article that the bull run that began in January 2023 is likely to reach a cyclical peak in the first quarter of 2025 or at the latest in the second quarter. The article said: "With the influx of a large amount of new investment and additional funds from existing investors, it is reasonable to expect that the market is currently in the late stages of this cycle." The post stated: "Therefore, the expectation of a sharp rise in Bitcoin and altcoins is still worth looking forward to. Nevertheless, from a conservative perspective and taking into account risk management, it is recommended to proceed with caution."
