Bitcoin bottom seen in late 2026, early 2027 if headwinds mount
Bitcoin is likely to form the low of the current market cycle in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to assessments based on post-halving patterns and on-chain data. Some analysts see October to December as the most likely window, with a projected range of $50,000 to $55,000. The view assumes macroeconomic conditions do not deteriorate sharply. A deeper recession or tougher regulation could delay a bottom into the first quarter of 2027, while strong inflows via spot ETFs could bring it earlier.
