Benjamin Cowen Predicts Bitcoin Will Bottom in October 2026
- Benjamin Cowen (Into The Cryptoverse, ex-NASA researcher) says the base case is that Bitcoin bottoms about a year after its top, most likely October 2026[1][2][3]
- An earlier May bottom would need a massive capitulation well outside typical midterm-year returns[1]
- Others agree: Alphractal's Joao Wedson sees a bottom 912-922 days after the April 2024 halving (late September or early October 2026); CryptoQuant models say June to December 2026, most probably September to November[1]
- In June 2026 he named a downside target near $40,000, where Realized Price and Balanced Price converge, with a Q4 2026 bottom[2][3]
- He says this cycle peaked on apathy rather than enthusiasm, resembles 2019, and a strong US Dollar Index pressures risk assets[1][2][3]

Cowen's own timeline, not a confirmed date: he expects the bottom about a year after the cycle's October 2025 top, the same gap as the prior two cycles, unless a deep capitulation event pulls it forward to around May 2026. He has separately named $40,000 - where Realized Price and Balanced Price converge - as the level he watches for that bottom.
