Bitcoin Analyst Predicts Next Market Bottom in Late May 2026

Bitcoin's market behavior is being analyzed by various experts to predict its next major move. According to JA Maartun, a community analyst at CryptoQuant, Bitcoin could be approaching its next significant market bottom in late May 2026 if historical trends continue.

The analyst notes that the current cycle has deviated from the typical pattern seen in earlier cycles. However, he believes that the four-year structure remains intact, and a definitive bottom could form in late May 2026 if the pattern holds.

On-chain indicators are also suggesting that Bitcoin's market is still in a Bear Phase, indicating that capitulation may not be complete yet. Realized price models suggest that $55,000 is the likely final floor of the bear market.

The correlation between Bitcoin and gold has dropped to a record low of -0.9, a level historically associated with market bottoms. This divergence suggests that Bitcoin is increasingly moving independently of traditional safe-haven assets.
