Bitcoin is retesting $60,000 support for the third time. The speaker expects a breakdown below this level, leading to a drop toward $48,000–$52,000, with a potential further leg down to $34,000–$40,000 by October 5, 2026 — the cycle bottom date per his four-year cycle model. Every rally is a shorting opportunity until Bitcoin reclaims the weekly Ichimoku baseline or breaks above $67,000. He exited at $126,000 (the cycle top) and remains in cash/short.

The speaker opens by noting Bitcoin has corrected to retest $60,000 for the third time on the daily chart. He frames the analysis around two questions: whether this support holds, or whether we commence the "long-awaited correction to 52 to 48,000." His core thesis is firmly bearish in the near-to-medium term. He has been arguing since the top at $82,000 (and before that, the cycle top at $126,000 where he says he exited) that every rally is a short opportunity. The structure he highlights is a "laddering down effect": slow grind-ups followed by flash corrections, a pattern he sees continuing. The critical level is sell-side liquidity at approximately $59,900, the low from February 6, 2026. He argues that historical bear market behavior shows that when Bitcoin breaks below prior sell-side liquidity points, it accelerates into the next higher-timeframe support. …
Bearish: Bitcoin is retesting critical $60,000 sell-side liquidity with a high probability of breakdown. DXY trending toward 103–104 and S&P 500 vulnerable below its 50-day MA add macro headwinds. Expect continued grind-down/flash-crash pattern. Invalidation above $67,000.
Bearish into October 2026: the four-year cycle model and Ichimoku baseline rejection point to lower prices. The $48,000–$52,000 zone is the next major support, but the speaker believes this will not hold and an additional leg to $34,000–$40,000 is probable. Confirmation of a bottom requires the monthly RSI green-line signal plus a weekly close above the Ichimoku baseline.
Structurally bullish beyond the 2026 bear market bottom: Bitcoin's long-term thesis rests on inflation erosion of fiat, blockchain infrastructure development, and relative undervaluation versus equities. The speaker expects a new macro uptrend to begin once the Ichimoku baseline is reclaimed, consistent with every prior cycle.
Bitcoin will break below the $59,900 sellside liquidity level and continue its downtrend into the $52,000-$48,000 support zone.
Historical pattern shows that breakdowns of prior sellside liquidity points result in significant flash corrections to the next higher-timeframe support level.
Bitcoin will not bottom at $48,000-$52,000 and will instead see another leg down to $34,000-$40,000 by October 5, 2026.
The timing of reaching $48k well before October would require sideways price action for too long, making another leg down to $34k-$40k more likely.
Bitcoin needs to break above $67,000 to invalidate the bearish expectation of a move to $52,000-$48,000.
The speaker uses $67k as a key invalidation level; staying below it confirms the bearish scenario.
