The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), reached $70,000 during its recent recovery but failed to hold that level, falling back to around $67,000.

While this rise has fueled talk of a bottom at $60,000, analysts say it’s still too early to find the bottom.

At this point, the crypto analytics company CryptoQuant was the first to predict that the bottom of this cycle would be between June and December 2026.

The analysis firm stated that it takes time for the market to reach its bottom, citing historical data.

Analysts, applying historical data to the date when the bear market bottomed out, predicted the following timeline:

“2012 cycle (777 days): June 4, 2026
2016 cycle (889 days): September 24, 2026
2020 cycle (925 days): October 30, 2026”

Based on this data, CryptoQuant expects the bottom of the current cycle to occur between June and December of this year.

Bitcoin Could Hit Bottom at $45,000!

While CryptoQuant points to June and December as the bottom for Bitcoin, veteran analyst Willy Woo has made similar predictions.

Accordingly, Willy Woo stated that he expects the current Bitcoin downturn to end in the fourth quarter. Woo also expects the upward momentum to begin in the first half of 2027.

In his post, Woo suggested that the decline has stabilized somewhat, which could lead to sideways price movement for about a month or a bounce to around $75,000.

However, Woo noted that due to worsening liquidity, exceeding this level seems unlikely in the short term.

At this point, he argued that the bear market would continue for some time and that the bottom would likely be around $45,000.

Woo added that in the worst-case scenario, if the global macroeconomic situation collapses, the price could fall to support levels of $30,000 and $16,000, respectively.
