Cryptocurrency Market Insights by Raoul Pal
Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal pointed out that cryptocurrency markets are currently repeating the cycle from 2017.
Pal noted that a similar scenario is unfolding, recalling that in 2017, Bitcoin experienced a steady rise throughout the year and gained sharply in value in December. He suggested that the current crypto bull cycle might last until the second quarter of 2026, based on macroeconomic indicators.
During a conversation with Jamie Coutts, director of crypto analysis, on the program “The Journeyman” aired on Real Vision, Pal highlighted important signals for investors. He mentioned, “When liquidity increases, the crypto market grows; this is now a clear relationship,” arguing that Bitcoin’s sensitivity to global liquidity has increased during certain periods based on past data.
Coutts discussed new analysis models they’ve developed, which relate Bitcoin’s price movements to the increase in global liquidity and assess market risk levels. He emphasized that investors should consider not only price estimates but also market behavior and leverage ratios.
Pal also underscored developments in the Middle East, especially in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar that are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. He pointed out that these nations are not just holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset but are also constructing their state infrastructure on blockchain technology. Systems are being created for transactions like driver’s licenses and land records through blockchain.
He asserted that these substantial investments and institutional adoption are not only driving the bull market but are also speeding up the acceptance of crypto as a foundational infrastructure. “This is no longer just a speculative asset class; foundational layers of the new internet are being built,” he stated.
According to Pal’s analysis, considering liquidity conditions and macro indicators such as the dollar index, this bull cycle is likely to persist until the second quarter of 2026. He remarked, “The current cycle resembles 2017 more than 2021. This long-term cycle may be larger and more complex than previously expected.”
