Benjamin Cowen, a highly regarded expert in technical analysis within the cryptocurrency sector, has recently shared a rather bleak yet data-centric outlook on Bitcoin’s future in his latest video. He highlighted that Bitcoin’s correction phase following its peak of $126,000 in October 2025 aligns closely with historical patterns.
A particularly notable aspect of Cowen’s analysis is the contrast between this cycle and previous bull markets. He pointed out that while the peaks observed in 2017 and 2021 were characterized by significant enthusiasm from retail investors, the peak in 2025 occurred during a phase of “indifference.” According to Cowen, this lack of excitement hindered an anticipated influx into the altcoin market, which explains why we did not witness a typical “altcoin season.”

Cowen reiterated that historical four-year cycles remain intact and noted that Bitcoin usually reaches its lowest point approximately one year after hitting its peak. Based on current trends and data analysis, he forecasts October 2026 as the most probable timeframe for Bitcoin to hit its bottom.
When assessing current price movements, Cowen remarked:
“We are currently experiencing a situation where bears seem intelligent while bulls are profiting. Nevertheless, data indicates we are still within a bear market year. I do not anticipate Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs (ATH) in 2026.”
Cowen emphasized that risks linger as long as Bitcoin hovers around the $70,000 mark. He suggested there is potential for prices to drop into the $50,000-$55,000 range. Specifically mentioning that if it breaks below the crucial support level at $60,000 could trigger what he termed a “capitulation” phase; however these declines may also present opportunities for long-term accumulation.
