The analysis, presented by Benjamin Cowen, focuses on Bitcoin's multi-year market cycles, particularly concerning its projected peak and subsequent consolidation. Based on a forward-looking chart analysis, he identifies a hypothetical 'current' Bitcoin price around $93,166 within his projected timeline. He anticipates the current cycle to reach its peak 'this year' (within his projected timeframe, likely 2025-2026), with a target price of approximately $120,000. This peak is expected to be preceded by a 'euphoric rally.' Following this projected cycle top, he forecasts a period of 'brief headwinds' in the first half of the subsequent year (mid-2026). During this phase, Bitcoin's price is expected to move 'sideways, maybe slightly down,' mirroring the market behavior observed in 2019. This anticipated consolidation is partially attributed to the Federal Reserve's cautious monetary policy stance. Cowen highlights a historical pattern of 'diminishing losses' in successive bear markets (e.g., 94%, 87%, 84%, 77% drawdowns in previous cycles), a trend he expects to continue, dismissing the likelihood of an '80% drop' in the immediate future. He suggests that these 'midterm years,' characterized by price stagnation or slight declines, represent optimal buying opportunities for long-term Bitcoin believers. The long-term outlook remains bullish, with renewed upward momentum expected in late 2026 as monetary policy loosens. He emphasizes the growing institutional adoption in Bitcoin's 'natural evolution,' which is contributing to reduced volatility and a higher market capitalization that demands exponentially more volume for significant price movements. The analysis underscores the importance of patience and adapting to the market's current state rather than idealized expectations.
