Crypto researcher Julien Bittel has revealed that the Bitcoin cycle top has yet to happen, providing a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto. Instead, BTC just looks set to enter its most parabolic phase, eyeing new highs. 

Bitcoin Cycle Top Metric Yet To Be Triggered 

In an X post, Bittel alluded to the ‘GMI Bitcoin Cycle Top Finder’ to prove that this cycle is far from over. He noted that the indicator has correctly spotted four top signals in Bitcoin’s history, and they each corresponded to a top for the flagship crypto. However, this time around, the indicator shows that BTC is nowhere near a cycle top. 

His accompanying chart also suggested that Bitcoin still has a long way to go in this cycle before it reaches a cycle top. This is bullish for the flagship crypto as it indicates that it still has more than enough upside to break through its current all-time high (ATH) of $111,900. It is worth mentioning that Bittel’s post was in response to crypto analyst TechDev, who also confirmed that the cycle isn’t over.

In an X post, TechDev revealed that a launch signal, not a top signal, has appeared for Bitcoin. He noted that there have been launch signals in BTC’s history, and each of them sent the flagship crypto on a parabolic run. This launch signal has again triggered, with a massive rally potentially on the horizon for the BTC price

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital also recently confirmed that the Bitcoin cycle top isn’t yet in. However, he warned that another bear market will happen at some point. He stated that people think BTC will never see another bear market because it is now mainstream and too mature an asset. He added that this bear market will likely occur again after this bull market. 

BTC to Still Reach $200k This Year

Asset manager Bitwise has maintained that the Bitcoin price can still reach $200,000 this year. They stated that they are holding firm to this prediction, as there is simply too much institutional demand for BTC to keep prices flat for long. This demand has occurred through the Bitcoin ETFs, which continue to record massive inflows. At the same time, several companies are adopting Strategy’s playbook of creating a BTC treasury. 

Standard Chartered has also predicted that the Bitcoin price can reach $200,000 by year-end. The bank believes that ETF inflows and corporate demand for BTC will spark the rally to this target. They also alluded to Powell’s potential early exit and the passing of the stablecoin bill as other factors that could serve as catalysts for this rally. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $108,265, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

How Token Economy Reshapes the Business Rules of AI 'Measurement' | ToB Industry Observation

"Token Economy: How It Reshapes the Business Rules of AI's 'Metrics' | ToB Industry Observation" The article discusses how the token economy is fundamentally changing the business landscape for AI, moving from a phase of explosive technical supply to a focus on measurable value for enterprise demand. It highlights the astronomical growth in daily token usage in China, framing tokens as the new "measurement standard" or "electricity" of the intelligent era. A central challenge is determining a token's value, which varies drastically—up to 100,000x—across different applications, from drug discovery to casual chat. The concept of "high-quality tokens" that deliver real intelligence, versus "noise," is emphasized as crucial. Lenovo's Vice President shares three proposed "laws" of token economics: 1. **Law of Inertia:** The cost per token will continuously decline due to technological innovation, system optimization, and intelligent runtime scheduling. 2. **Law of Acceleration:** The value generated per token accelerates based on the depth of AI integration into business workflows, the level of engineering support, and organizational readiness. 3. **Law of the Singularity:** A tipping point where the value curve of AI application surpasses its cost curve, shifting from cost-saving to generating incremental, previously impossible value—enabling "innovation at scale." The article notes real-world struggles, such as companies exceeding AI budgets due to unpredictable token pricing and "token inflation" from agentic AI workflows. Solutions being explored include standardized metrics for token quality, transparent pricing, and new infrastructure like "Token Factories" for efficient, on-demand token production. The ultimate goal is for businesses to move past anxiety and reach the "singularity," where AI drives scalable innovation, akin to how electricity enabled countless modern appliances.
