Market Cycle: End, Pause, or a New Beginning?

#2026CryptoOutlook

The classic four-year Bitcoin halving cycle is starting to lose its rigidity.

A growing number of analysts believe that 2026 could mark a structural shift, driven by: • Persistent institutional capital inflows

• Rapid stablecoin expansion

• Deeper integration with traditional finance

Possible scenarios for 2026:

🔹 Bullish case:

Many analysts expect Bitcoin to reach new all-time highs in the first half of 2026.

Price targets commonly range between $150,000 – $220,000, fueled by sustained Spot ETF demand and a more accommodative macro environment.

🔹 Consolidation first:

Others anticipate an early-2026 correction, with Bitcoin potentially revisiting the $60,000 – $70,000 range before forming a durable bottom.

From there, a renewed bull leg could emerge in late 2026 or early 2027.

Market consensus:

👉 2026 is likely a transition year

• Post-2025 consolidation

• Followed by a fresh bullish impulse starting in Q1 or Q2 2026

As cycles evolve, timing matters less than positioning.
