Boilerpipe Text	Is Bitcoin’s Bottom Finally Here? VanEck CEO Shares Bold Prediction for 2026 Prefer us on Google VanEck CEO Jan van Eck says Bitcoin is making a bottom, attributing the 2026 bear market to the four-year halving cycle CryptoQuant suggests historical cycle patterns point to a potential bottom forming between June and November 2026. Analysts remain split on whether institutional adoption and global liquidity now dominate Bitcoin price action over halving cycles VanEck’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jan van Eck said that Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a market bottom. He attributed the price weakness to the cryptocurrency’s four-year halving cycle. However, analysts remain split on whether Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle still influences market trends, with some arguing that it may no longer be a valid. The Case for a Bitcoin Bottom Speaking on CNBC’s Power Lunch, van Eck, who leads the $181.4 billion asset management firm, grounded his analysis in Bitcoin’s hard-coded supply structure and its four-year halving cycle. “Our view coming into 2026 is that Bitcoin is governed by the two things you know about Bitcoin limited supply at 21 million, and the halving cycle,” he said . “There’s been an investing cycle, Bitcoin goes up three years in a row, goes down pretty massively in that fourth year. 2026 is that fourth year. So that’s why we are in a Bitcoin bear market….Now I think we are making a bottom.” Kaiko research supports the idea that Bitcoin’s price continues to follow historical cycle patterns . In a previous report, the firm highlighted that the post-peak drawdown from around $126,000 to the $60,000–$70,000 range aligns with the corrections seen during previous bear phases. The report also noted that this price movement falls precisely within the historical window for cycle peaks, typically occurring 12-18 months after a halving event. However, historical trends suggest that bear markets generally take 6-12 months to find sustainable bottoms. This is often marked by several failed rallies along the way. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to watch leaders and journalists provide expert insights In addition, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan pointed to the four-year cycle as one of the three key factors behind holders reducing exposure. According to him, this contributed to the price weakness. Notably, Hougan also suggested that Bitcoin is in the process of forming a bottom. Meanwhile, a segment of analysts and market watchers has challenged whether the four-year cycle still governs Bitcoin’s price action at all. Some argue Bitcoin is tied more to global liquidity conditions and institutional capital flows than to mining reward halvings. The debate over timing carries real weight for investors navigating current conditions. Nonetheless, while Bitcoin bottom predictions rise CryptoQuant suggested that market bottoms don’t happen quickly. They typically take time to form. “If this cycle mirrors past structures from April 19, 2024: 2012 trace (777 days) → June 4, 2026 • 2016 trace (889 days) → September 24, 2026 • 2020 trace (925 days) → October 30, 2026,” the post read.
