Bitcoin's True Bottom Might Not Arrive Until Q4 — Here's What Analysts Are Watching This Week

(116 days ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto

Several analysts suggest that Bitcoin may not reach its cycle bottom until Q4 of 2026, challenging hopes of a near-term recovery. This week's key factors include macroeconomic pressures, on-chain signals, and shifting market sentiment that could keep BTC under pressure for months to come.

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of a market bottom like the lowest point on a roller coaster — it's the moment just before the ride starts climbing back up. Analysts are saying Bitcoin might not hit that lowest point until later this year, which means prices could stay flat or even drop further before recovering. For newcomers, this is important because it sets expectations: if you're thinking about buying Bitcoin, understanding where we might be in the cycle helps you plan rather than panic. 'Dollar-cost averaging' — buying small amounts regularly instead of all at once — is a strategy many use during uncertain times like these to reduce the risk of buying at the wrong moment.

The idea that Bitcoin's price bottom could be delayed until Q4 is a sobering reminder that crypto market cycles don't follow neat timelines.
