There are warnings from an analyst at Crypto Crew University that we are about to enter a bear market phase for Bitcoin. This analyst predicts that we will see a long period of falling prices before another major bull run, which he expects will occur in either late 2026 or early 2027. Investors need to prepare for what is referred to as a bloody market during this time and adjust their investment strategies as necessary.
Repeating Four-Year Cycles in Bitcoin
The most recent installment from Crypto Crew University features the analyst noting that Bitcoin is back in a pivotal part of its familiar four-year cycle. As he sees it, each of these cycles runs its course: an initial wave of optimism gives way to what is commonly called the ‘bloody market’, a time for a hard correction, and only then does a bull market appear. There is some credibility to this pattern; it has been a consistent occurrence since around 2015 and serves as useful background for anyone wanting to plan their strategy.
Technical Signals: Moving Averages and Market Timing
The analyst at Crypto Crew University has put the spotlight on one particular indicator: the point where Bitcoin’s 21-day and 50-day moving averages cross on the price chart. In the past, such a crossover has been a harbinger of the bear market phase, a period that tends to last for about 400 days. One need only look at 2015, 2019, or 2022 to see how these patterns have preceded steep drops in price down to key support before a recovery took place. With the present bear market expected to last for another 200 days or so, the analyst believes that conditions will be right for a fresh bull run by the end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027.
Investor Strategy: Patience and the ‘Golden Zone’
The analyst at Crypto Crew University is advising investors to keep their composure and put any thoughts of panic-selling aside in light of how long the current Bitcoin bear market is likely to last. A better course of action, he says, is to watch the charts for the so-called ‘golden zone’, an ideal place to buy that is usually found in the thick of a bear phase. The idea is to build up a position at these lower levels in order to be well placed for the returns when the next bull run comes around.
For traders, the recommendation is to scale back on activity and adopt a more patient, long-term view. Discipline is key, the analyst emphasizes; those who do not let emotion get the better of them during the downturn are the ones who will stand to gain once the market turns bullish again.
