Market analyst Timothy Peterson highlights a historical pattern suggesting Bitcoin may have strong odds of moving higher over the next ten months.

According to his data, 50% of the past 24 months have been positive for Bitcoin. Based on historical trends going back to 2011, that setup has implied an 88% probability that Bitcoin will be higher ten months later.

The Statistical Framework

Peterson’s model examines rolling 24-month periods and measures how often forward returns were positive.

When half of the trailing two years show green months, forward performance has historically skewed bullish. The average forward return under these conditions has been approximately:

exp(60%) − 1 = 82%

Applied to current levels, that would imply a potential move toward roughly $122,000.

What This Really Means

The key takeaway is not certainty, but probability.

An 88% historical success rate suggests favorable odds, not guarantees. Bitcoin remains highly volatile, and macro conditions can override historical patterns in the short term.

However, the dataset spans more than a decade of market cycles, including multiple bull and bear phases.

Probability vs Prediction

This framework reframes the discussion away from short-term noise.

Rather than focusing on weekly volatility, the model emphasizes long-term statistical tendencies. Historically, when Bitcoin shows sustained positive structure over two years, forward momentum has tended to follow.

Whether history repeats exactly remains to be seen, but the probability tilt, according to the data, currently favors higher prices over the next ten months.
