Fund manager warns Bitcoin could drop as $150B Treasury operation nears

A countertrend rally that pushed Bitcoin to $82,800 has done little to change 
one analyst&#8217;s bearish outlook — because he says the bounce itself is proof the 
pattern is repeating. Related Reading: When Bitcoin Gets Ignored, It Tends To 
Rally The Hardest, Analyst Says What The Charts Are Showing Benjamin Cowen, 
founder and CEO of Into The Cryptoverse, points to a recurring rejection at 
the 200-day simple moving average as a key signal. The same thing happened in 
2018 and 2022, and both times it came just before the final leg down. Cowen 
also noted that some countertrend rallies in past cycles ran longer than 20 
weeks. The current one clocked in at 16 weeks, which he says undercuts the 
argument that Bitcoin has already found its floor. The four year cycle for 
Bitcoin is not dead. Bitcoin topped when it always topped (to within 1 week 
when measure from low-to-high), so why can&#8217;t it bottom near the end of the 
midterm year, just as it generally has? (1/x) pic.twitter.com/Spoh4s6NRG — 
Benjamin Cowen (@benjamincowen) May 25, 2026 Bitcoin Peaked On Schedule 
According to Cowen, Bitcoin&#8217;s run-up to $126,200 in October 2025 landed within 
the expected cycle window when measured from the previous low to the high. 
That kind of timing at the top, he argues, makes it harder to dismiss the same 
framework when looking at where the bottom might land. Past cycles put their 
lows in the closing months of the midterm year — December 2018 and November 
2022, specifically. Based on that pattern, Cowen believes the bottom is still 
ahead, likely toward the end of 2026. Two charts he shared support the view. 
One tracks the return on investment from the market cycle peak to the bear 
market low. The other tracks the multiplier from bear market lows to the next 
bull market peak. Both are following the shape of prior cycles, even if the 
raw numbers are smaller this time around. When The Drop Could Come Cowen had 
previously flagged May and June as the window when the next significant 
decline would begin. He expects that move to carry Bitcoin below the February 
6 low of $60,000 — a level that a number of other analysts have called the 
cycle bottom. Related Reading: Crypto Market Sees $1.46B Fund Exodus As 
Traders Turn Cautious Not everyone sees another drop coming. Analyst Sykodelic 
has predicted Bitcoin will climb past $90,000 in June after retesting a key 
level of support. The debate reflects a broader split in how analysts are 
reading the market right now. Cowen&#8217;s position rests on the idea that the 
four-year cycle, tied to Bitcoin&#8217;s halving schedule, continues to drive price 
behavior in a predictable way despite the asset&#8217;s growth and changing market 
structure. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
