Bitcoin (BTC) will celebrate 17 years on Jan. 3, 2026. The pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block on Jan. 3, 2009. What kicked off was most likely unprecedented to any. BTC has come a long way since its inception, becoming the best-performing asset of the last decade and a half. While Bitcoin (BTC) has faced a slump over the last few months, lets discuss if the original crypto will experience a birthday rally in the next few days.
Will Bitcoin See A Birthday Rally?
2025 had a particularly bullish start to the year. President Trump assuming power led to a substantial rise in investor confidence in the crypto sector. Bitcoin (BTC) went on to hit an all-time high of $126,080 on Oct. 6. However, BTC climbing to a new all-time high was followed by a massive market correction. In fact the crypto market experienced its most significant liquidation event in history. BTC’s price continues to struggle after its October correction.
According to CoinGecko’s BTC data, Bitcoin is showing signs of a trend reversal. BTC’s price has rallied 1.1% in the last 24 hours, 1.1% in the last week, 1.2% in the 14-day charts, and 2.2% over the previous month. BTC entering the green zone may be a sign that the asset is preparing for an upward push.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) latest upswing could be due to the new years approaching and its upcoming birthday. BTC made a similar move on Dec. 29, briefly reclaiming the $90,000 price level. BTC is struggling to hold the $90,000 mark, and may make another attempt to breach it over the next few days. We could see a continued upward momentum due to BTC turning 17 years old.
