Galaxy Research: Bitcoin Bottom Expected Between $40K and $46K
- Bottom Indicator Analysis: Galaxy Research indicates that only 4 out of 13 traditional Bitcoin bottom indicators have appeared in the current cycle, suggesting the market has not yet bottomed, with expectations for a bottom between $40,000 and $46,000 potentially emerging in Q4 2026, impacting investor market expectations.
- Historical Cycle Signals: The study shows that Bitcoin's four-year cycle continues to follow historical timing patterns, typically seeing cycle lows 12 to 13 months after market peaks, with the current decline starting in October 2025, indicating the market is still in an adjustment phase that could influence future investment decisions.
- Price Compression Trend: Galaxy notes a trend of decreasing peak-to-trough declines in Bitcoin, narrowing from 85% to 77%, while bottom valuations have steadily increased, with the current network cost basis near $53,000, suggesting that this trend may lead to higher potential bottoms than previous bear markets, affecting investor confidence.
- Three Bottom Scenarios: Based on current cost-basis data, Galaxy outlines three potential bottom scenarios, with the base-case scenario placing the bottom between $40,000 and $46,000, a deeper washout similar to 2018 and 2022 could push prices into the $30,000 to $39,000 range, while a shallow decline would place the bottom between $51,000 and $54,000, reflecting market uncertainty and potential risks.
