Bitcoin Market Analysts Predict Bottom Around October 2026

Bitcoin's market dynamics are influenced by its four-year halving cycles, with each event serving as a major catalyst for price movements. Historically, Bitcoin's cycle tops have occurred within a week of peaks from prior cycles, and the market generally finds its bottom about a year after reaching its peak.

Based on this pattern, Benjamin Cowen projects that Bitcoin's next bottom will occur around October 2026, roughly one year following a projected all-time high in October 2025. This prediction is supported by data from other industry voices, including Joao Wedson of Alphractal, who pointed out that the 2021 cycle top occurred just 534 days after the April 2024 halving.

Data from CryptoQuant further aligns with these views, modeling a likely bottom between June and December 2026. The window from September through November is flagged as especially probable for the next bottom to occur.
