Bitcoin Price May Revisit 2017 Cycle Highs

Although the digital asset has reached new all-time highs in the current cycle, it has yet to achieve a doubling of the previous all-time high. However, with increasing similarities to the 2017 cycle, there remains a possibility for Bitcoin prices to surge further.
