Months ago, a prominent crypto analyst outlined a precise window where the 
Bitcoin price could enter a violent downside phase. At the time, the 
projection seemed extreme. Now, with price behavior beginning to align with 
that roadmap, the analyst has released a far more expansive update — one that 
not only reinforces the crash call but also maps what comes before and after 
the next major pivot. Bitcoin Price Multi-Cycle Model Signals A Structural 
Reset In the update shared on X, the analyst integrates yearly, monthly, and 
weekly cycles to define both the potential magnitude of decline and the timing 
of the next pivot. On the yearly timeframe, Bitcoin sits in what he labels an 
extreme risk zone ahead of a projected pivot around February 2. The structure 
is left-translated with distributive price action — a formation linked to 
late-cycle weakness. Related Reading: How To Trade The XRP Price In The Short 
Term After The Massive Crash He compares the current setup to a previous 
harmonic phase where Bitcoin dropped roughly 50% from its all-time high before 
reaching the same pivot window. That decline produced a rebound of about 40% 
but failed to reach a new all-time high, suggesting the February pivot may 
bring relief rather than expansion. He also identifies a macro risk window 
from April to September 2026. On the monthly cycle, the analyst marks a 
decisive pivot around December 22. Historical drawdowns in similar harmonics 
were 56%, 77%, and 34%, depending on the cycle context. The 77% drop occurred 
during a bear market, while the 34% retracement formed a mid-bull cycle. 
Upside rebounds ranged between 140% and 375%, with a later 158% expansion, 
showing that monthly harmonics often host the sharpest price dislocations. On 
the weekly timeframe, a nearer-term pivot appears around November 19. Past 
pullbacks ranged from 20% to 34%, followed by upside expansions of 99%, 96%, 
95%, 127%, and 69%, providing the tactical signals traders may rely on for 
short-term adjustments within the broader trend. What’s More: Refined Crash 
Targets And The Bottom Window Beyond confirming the original crash call, the 
analyst refines the downside roadmap by synchronizing all three cycles. When 
harmonics align, volatility and pivot significance increase. While the full 
drawdown ranges 20%–77%, he narrows the likely decline to 34%–55% from the 
all-time high, noting deeper bear-market conditions are not yet confirmed.

Happen; Analyst The November weekly pivot appears too early for a macro 
bottom, with higher-timeframe pressure likely pushing the true pivot into 
January. A late-November dead-cat bounce is possible before further downside. 
Key levels: $90,000 (~30% drop) for November, $72,000 (~43% below the high) 
for January, with further support at $45,000 and $28,000 if selling 
intensifies. The analyst remains cautious, noting the last comparable yearly 
harmonic rallied 40% without surpassing the all-time high, with similar limits 
expected before the May–September 2026 risk window. However, while his four- 
month-old crash call held, he believes Bitcoin’s path is far from 
over—investors should prepare for further downside and a multi-stage recovery 
shaping the next macro cycle. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from
