With the holidays draining liquidity and uncertainty still in the air, the 
crypto market is clearly moving more cautiously. Bitcoin has managed to remain 
stable, but rising ETF outflows and slowing momentum are difficult to ignore. 
At this point, it’s…

Bitcoin price prediction as ETFs see $175m in outflows: Will BTC crash to $80k?

As Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to maintain its position below the $90,000 
threshold, market sentiment appears to be shifting toward the possibility of a 
new bear market. Notably, analyst Ali Martinez has drawn comparisons with 
historical market cycles to forecast Bitcoin&#8217;s trajectory. Bitcoin Market 
Patterns In a recent social media post, Martinez highlighted a recurring 
pattern that suggests it typically takes around 1,064 days for Bitcoin to 
transition from a market bottom to a market top, followed by approximately 364 
days from a market peak back to the next bottom. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Fails To Surpass $3,000: Predictions For The Final Days Of The Year In the 
first cycle, the market bottomed out in January 2015 and reached its peak in 
December 2017, exactly 1,064 days later. This was followed by a bear market 
that lasted 364 days, culminating in the bottom in December 2018. The second 
cycle mirrored this pattern: the market bottomed in December 2018 and reached 
its apex in November 2021, again over a span of 1,064 days. Subsequently, 
another downturn followed, leading to a bottom in November 2022, when Bitcoin 
traded around $15,500. Next Bottom At $37,500? Currently, the analyst 
highlights that the market is in what could be the third cycle, having 
witnessed a market bottom in November 2022 and a current peak above $126,000 
reached back in October. Applying the historical patterns of these cycles, it 
suggests that Bitcoin is now within the 364-day correction window, indicating 
a potential bottom could materialize around October 2026 — approximately 288 
days from now. Related Reading: Altcoin Struggles: What The Future Holds And 
The Potential For A 2026 Revival Examining past bear markets offers additional 
context for projecting potential downside. The bear market from 2017 to 2018 
saw a correction of approximately 84%, while the market decline from 2021 to 
2022 experienced a retracement of roughly 77%. Averaging these two 
corrections, Martinez suggests an expected retracement of around 80%, 
positioning Bitcoin&#8217;s next market bottom at around $37,500. Currently, the 
market&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency is trading slightly above the $88,290 mark, 
which is a 30% gap from the current peak. Featured image from DALL-E, chart

Bitcoin Correction Timeline: Analyst Predicts Potential Bottom In October 2026

The year 2025 will be chronicled in financial history as the inflection point 
where digital assets achieved systemic integration into mainstream 
institutional finance. Government validation arrived via comprehensive 
stablecoin legislation, the formal declaration of bitcoin as a strategic 
national reserve asset, and a pivotal political pardon that addressed core 
ideological tensions between technology and government […]

Emerging markets are finally accessing finance, with a $310-billion stablecoin 
market showing that adoption is not hype. Here is what this milestone actually 
means.

What the $310B stablecoin market reveals about crypto adoption

Data of the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index suggests the average investor sentiment 
has now been inside the extreme fear zone for 13 straight days. Bitcoin Fear &amp; 
Greed Index Is Still Pointing At Extreme Fear The &#8220;Fear &amp; Greed Index&#8221; refers 
to an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average 
sentiment shared by traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets. 
The index determines the sentiment by referring to the data of five factors: 
market cap dominance, trading volume, Google Trends, social sentiment, and 
volatility. It then represents it using a numeric scale that runs from zero to 
hundred. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Trading Near ‘Fair Value,’ Says On- 
Chain Model All values above 53 indicate the presence of a greed sentiment 
among the investors, while those below 47 suggest the dominance of fear. 
Levels lying between the two thresholds correspond to a net neutral mentality. 
Besides these three core regions, there are also two &#8220;extreme&#8221; zones in the 
Fear &amp; Greed Index, known as the extreme fear and extreme greed. The former 
occurs at and below 25, while the latter occurs above 75. Now, here is how the 
sentiment among investors in the current Bitcoin market is, according to the 
Fear &amp; Greed Index: As is visible above, the majority sentiment in the 
cryptocurrency sector is one of extreme fear at the moment, with the indicator 
sitting at a value of 23. The despair among the investors isn&#8217;t new, as the 
index has, in fact, remained in this region for the last couple of weeks. As 
displayed in the chart, the Bitcoin Fear &amp; Greed Index has indicated extreme 
fear for 13 consecutive days now, underscoring the FUD that has been present 
in the market. If history is anything to go by, though, the extremely fearful 
sentiment may not actually be such a bad sign for BTC and other 
cryptocurrencies. Often, digital asset markets tend to move in a direction 
that goes contrary to the crowd&#8217;s belief. This probability of an opposite move 
generally becomes the strongest inside the extreme sentiment zones, with major 
tops and bottoms historically forming while the index has been in the 
respective region. The price low in November, which has acted as the bottom 
for Bitcoin so far, also occurred alongside an extended stay inside the 
extreme fear territory. Clearly, though, that extreme fear streak wasn&#8217;t 
enough to reignite sustained bullish momentum for BTC, as the asset has only 
consolidated since then. Related Reading: When Will Bitcoin Bottom? History 
Points To October 2026, Says Analyst As such, it only remains to be seen 
whether the latest stay inside extreme fear will be able to change that or if 
it will be a while before the bottom is reached in the current cycle. BTC 
Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $87,500, unchanged 
from one week ago. Featured image from Dall-E, Alternative.me, chart from
