Popular market analyst KillaXBT has shared a bold prediction about the Bitcoin supercycle. After multiple failed “supercycle” calls by other market enthusiasts, an anonymous market expert insists that Bitcoin's definitive breakout has not yet begun, highlighting an important market situation.
Metal market downtrend, Bitcoin super trend
According to KillaXBT in XPost on December 27th, a true supercycle will only emerge if capital rotates decisively away from precious metals and into Bitcoin, marking a generational shift rather than a typical crypto rally. Unlike past “premature” supercycle narratives driven by optimism, analysts note similarities in the upstart's price structure that indicate a massive rally in Bitcoin's price is coming.
Interest in precious metals has surged, especially after gold and silver recently reached new ATH prices of $4,500 and $77, respectively. Like most analysts, KillaXBT predicts that these precious metals will eventually enter a multi-year downtrend, forcing investors to seek other havens to fight inflation. In particular, analysts expect that older generations will remain locked in gold, while newer capital groups will increasingly choose Bitcoin as their preferred store of value. Scarce Bitcoin could see unprecedented demand amid weak metal performance.
The analyst draws historical parallels between gold in early 1972 and Bitcoin's current position heading into 2027. During this period, gold entered a strong multi-year rally as capital sought protection from inflation and currency depreciation. KillaXBT argues that Bitcoin is approaching a similar inflection point and will outperform every major asset class in the next cycle.
Interestingly, gold, long considered the ultimate store of value, is now valued at an estimated $31.7 trillion in market capitalization. In contrast, Bitcoin is worth nearly $1.83 trillion. KillaXBT explains that even at a Bitcoin price of $200,000, the network's market capitalization would rise to around $5 trillion, but still about one-sixth that of gold, highlighting how fast Bitcoin is staying in the global asset hierarchy.
This is the last sub-$100,000 bear market – Analyst
KillaXBT concludes by stating that Bitcoin's major rallies are always accompanied by skepticism, and it always peaks just before a big rally. In past cycles, critics pointed to regulatory, environmental concerns and volatility risks. Now, the fear narrative is shifting to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Analysts have suggested such concerns could once again prompt investors to exit the market prematurely. However, KillaXBT remains bullish as it believes the current stage could be the final long-term bear market where Bitcoin trades below $100,000. However, they caution that 2026 is likely to be a bearish period and investors should expect a supercycle boom in 2027.
