This was followed by a bear market that lasted 364 days, culminating in the bottom in December 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Next Bottom At $37,500?<\/h2>\n<p>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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2014 approximately 288 days from now.<\/p>\n<p>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%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Averaging these two corrections, Martinez suggests an expected retracement of around 80%, positioning Bitcoin&#8217;s next market bottom at around $37,500.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/CRdhhIcR\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1814\" height=\"928\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Currently, the market&#8217;s leading cryptocurrency is trading slightly above the $88,290 mark, which is a 30% gap from the current peak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
