XRP If the pattern of the historical Bitcoin cycle repeats itself, the cryptocurrency market may be approaching another stage of major expansion. Cryptocurrency enthusiast Rose used a long-term Bitcoin chart to support extremely bullish views and told the XRP community on the X platform:
"The biggest bull market is about to begin. 
ARE YOU READY,$XRPARMY? 
"- Rose (@Rose_xao) August 3, 2026
Although this post is specifically targeted at XRP holders, the accompanying chart focuses on Bitcoin. The chart compares previous Bitcoin market cycles and shows that the cryptocurrency repeatedly follows a pattern of long-term growth followed by about a year of decline. Rose's information seems to link the predicted Bitcoin cycle to the prospect that the entire cryptocurrency market, including XRP, may perform stronger.
Bitcoin's 1064-day growth model
The chart highlights the approximately 1064-day interval between Bitcoin's main cycle low and subsequent highs. Each such cycle represents a long-term expansion phase, followed by approximately 365 days of adjustment. The first highlighted cycle lasts approximately from 2015 to 2018, and the next cycle extends from 2019 to a peak in 2022. The chart then applies the same time structure to the current cycle, predicting another long-term period of Bitcoin growth. Based on this historical comparison, the chart predicts that Bitcoin will reach more than $170,000 in the next major expansion stage, and may even reach around $180,000. Projections extend to the 2028-2030 period, indicating that the current cycle could continue for several years if historical time patterns remain valid. However, the chart only represents historical extrapolations rather than definitive market results. Bitcoin does experience repeated cycles, but the duration and magnitude of each cycle are not exactly the same.
Why XRP is mentioned
The most eye-catching aspect of Rose's post is that the assets mentioned in the text are different from those shown in the chart. Rose directly calls the "XRP army", while technical analysis focuses entirely on BTC/USD. This connection appears to be based on Bitcoin's relationship to the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin's continued expansion can increase the liquidity and risk appetite of digital assets, potentially benefiting major altcoins such as XRP. If Bitcoin enters another long-term bullish phase, investors may eventually turn their money to large altcoins in search of higher returns.
For XRP, a stronger crypto market may be combined with developments in its payment practicality, regulatory status and institutional adoption. These factors could enhance XRP's performance if overall market conditions also become favorable.
Historical patterns still face macro risks
The 1064-day and 365-day patterns provide a direct way to explain Bitcoin's historical cycle, but market conditions may change. Interest rate decisions, global liquidity, institutional positions and geopolitical developments can all affect cryptocurrency prices, regardless of historical timing. Bitcoin's larger market size also means that future percentage gains could be significantly different from previous cycles. As a result, Rose's forecast reflects a bullish interpretation of historical data rather than a confirmation that another similar cycle will occur.
