4chan Trader Predicts Bitcoin Bottom for October 2026

An anonymous Bitcoin trader on 4chan, who accurately predicted the cryptocurrency’s peak on October 6, 2025, is back with another forecast. This time, the trader’s model points to October 5, 2026, as the next major market bottom. Bitcoin is currently trading around $85,547, roughly 32% below its record high of about $126,000 but well above its July low of $57,000.

The prediction stems from a December 2023 4chan post outlining a simple cycle model. The model calculates a 1,064-day rise from a major bear market low to the cycle top, followed by a 364-day period from the top to the next major bottom. While the 2025 peak aligned closely with the model, the 2026 bottom call remains unconfirmed.

The anonymous model also sets long-term targets, including Bitcoin between $190,000 and $250,000, Ethereum at 15,000-20,000, and Solana at 1,000-1,500. Other traders, such as Crypto Rover, are turning bullish, suggesting that Bitcoin’s bear market may have ended earlier than expected. Citigroup recently raised its 12-month Bitcoin target from $82,000 to $113,000, citing stronger crypto activity and renewed ETF inflows.

Corporate buying continues, with Michael Saylor’s company purchasing an additional 334 BTC for about $28.7 million between October 1 and October 4, bringing its total holdings to 848,000 BTC. The key question now is whether Bitcoin can hold above $82,000 and build a new uptrend after the predicted October bottom.
