A modest claim. A bold number. Both are on the table for Bitcoin this week as 
a debate over how to read short-term streaks in price gains grows louder.

Crypto Conviction Yet Crypto analyst Timothy Peterson has pointed out that 
half of the last 24 months showed positive returns. Based on reports, he then 
gave a nearly 90% chance that Bitcoin would be higher in 10 months. That leap 
from a simple count to a firm probability is the headline grabber. It should 
be met with careful questions about how the odds were calculated and what 
assumptions were built into the model. Counting Positive Months Peterson based 
his view on a review of monthly performance data. Figures compiled by 
CoinGlass show that Bitcoin closed six months of 2025 in positive territory, 
while the remaining six finished lower. According to the data, 50% of the past 
24 months ended with gains. Peterson said he tracks this rolling two-year 
window to spot potential turning points in price trends. 50% of the past 24 
months have been positive. This implies a 88% chance that Bitcoin will be 
higher 10 months from now. The average return is exp(60%)-1 = 82% =&gt; $122,000.

Timothy Peterson (@nsquaredvalue) February 21, 2026 Market Odds And Betting An 
exchange of bets shows a very different view. Polymarket currently prices 
December as only a 17% shot at being the best month of 2026, with November a 
hair higher. Those numbers answer a different question from Peterson’s: they 
reflect market bets on which month will outperform others, not whether the 
price will simply be higher at a future date. Betting markets can be blunt 
tools, but they do pack the collective view of many traders into a single 
number. Bitcoin Price Action Price has not been calm. Bitcoin traded in a 
roughly $67,000–$68,000 band this week as geopolitical tension in the Middle 
East tightened. Safe-haven assets like gold and oil jumped on news flows, and 
Bitcoin felt the squeeze as some buyers stepped back. At the same time, live 
tickers showed the token about 20% below its level at the start of the year, a 
reminder that headline percentages hide wide intraday swings. Analysts Are 
Split Voices from the trading desk are divided. Michael van de Poppe suggested 
near-term green candles could be coming, urging traders to watch for a lift. 
On the other hand, Peter Brandt has argued a deeper low may not arrive until 
late 2026. Both views rest on different sets of signals — one on momentum and 
chart structure, the other on longer cycle patterns and risk of macro shocks. 
Sentiment Still Down Meanwhile, flow data from spot ETF purchases, derivatives 
positioning, and on-chain liquidity figures would add weight to any forecast.
