Bitcoin’s price bottom may not come until 2026, analysts say

According to a number of analysts, Bitcoin is in a quiet phase that may precede more significant movement. Low trading volumes, weak volatility, and investor caution suggest that the market has not yet found a clear direction. However, this combination of factors has often preceded important price turning points in the past.

The market is subdued, but cycles suggest patience

Cryptocurrency commentator Jason Pizzino points out in his analysis that Bitcoin may still go through a longer period of uncertainty before reaching its true long-term bottom. According to his estimates, this point could occur as late as the fall of 2026. At the same time, he emphasizes that it is still too early to decide whether the market is heading for new highs or whether a lower peak is forming within the broader economic cycle, which also affects other risky assets.

Trading volumes remain an important signal. They have been declining in recent months, similar to the end of 2022, when the market was also in a downturn before the subsequent growth. Low activity often means that most investors are waiting, which can create conditions for a sharper movement when a stronger impulse appears.

Behavior of large investors and key price levels

Data from the analytical company CryptoQuant, which operates the official website cryptoquant.com, show a decline in Bitcoin transfers from large investors to exchanges. This suggests lower selling pressure and the possibility of market consolidation. If this trend continues, the price of BTC may gradually approach the $99,000 level, which has historically served as a significant technical threshold.

However, according to analysts, further developments are unlikely to be rapid or without fluctuations. Bitcoin is in a transitional phase as the market seeks a new direction. For investors, this means increased uncertainty in the short term, but also preserved long-term potential.
