When Will Bitcoin Bottom Out? High Consensus Among 4chan Anonymous 'Oracle' Posts and Analysts Like Jiang Zhuoer

Since Bitcoin peaked in October 2025, it has been 10 months, and the four-year cycle theory that the crypto community believes in has recently sparked renewed discussion: when will Bitcoin bottom out, and when can one buy at the bottom? Regarding this issue, here is a summary of the views of several well-known analysts:

Famous trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt stated in late July that he expects Bitcoin to bottom out in this market cycle on October 4, 2026, and believes that investing in Bitcoin for the next two to three years may outperform investing in AI stocks. Additionally, Brandt predicts that the next cycle peak for Bitcoin will occur in 2029, with a target price range of $250,000 to $300,000.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the mining pool B.TOP, made predictions about the bottom of this bear market based on the previous three Bitcoin halving cycles, expecting the BTC bottom price to be $44,016, with an expected occurrence date of October 31.

Notable traders Killa and CryptoD provided a relatively broad timeframe. Killa believes the bottom may form between July and September. Meanwhile, CryptoD, who made over $10 million profit from the meme coin TRUMP, believes that the overall crypto market is gradually approaching the bottom, stating, "Q3 and Q4 are likely to be the last periods to calmly position before the next bull market."

It is worth noting that the October bottom theory from Peter Brandt and Jiang Zhuoer aligns closely with the widely circulated anonymous 'oracle' post from the 4chan forum. Historical records show that this 'oracle' post was published on December 12, 2023, listing the time spans of Bitcoin's four cycle peaks and troughs since 2015 (ATL 2015 → ATH 2017 ≈ 1064 days; ATH 2017 → ATL 2018 ≈ 364 days; ATL 2018 → ATH 2021 ≈ 1064 days; ATH 2021 → ATL 2022 ≈ 364 days), and based on this pattern, it concluded that Bitcoin would peak on October 6, 2025. If we follow this logic, this round of Bitcoin will also bottom out this October.

However, the above analysis may be akin to "carving a boat to seek a sword"; in this cycle, institutional capital has redefined the Bitcoin landscape, and changes in the cycle are also understandable.
