The analyst has predicted when this deep price decline is set to occur, warning investors to remain cautious or risk selling at a loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Xanrox, a crypto analyst on TradingView, shared a detailed price analysis of Bitcoin on March 17, predicting that the pioneer cryptocurrency is set to crash to $40,000 by 2026. The analyst revealed that Bitcoin follows a predictable cycle pattern tied to its <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/is-the-bitcoin-cycle-peak-in-historical-halving-data-suggests-upside-potential-into-late-2025\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">halving events<\/a>, which occur every four years. During these years, the market alternates between bull markets, where prices skyrocket, and bear markets, marked by severe corrections.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Bear Market Indicator Predicts Next Bitcoin Price Crash<\/h2>\n<p>Historically, bear markets last between 364 and 413 days\u2014approximately one year. Notably, every bull run for each cycle has been weaker than the previous one due to Bitcoin\u2019s rapidly growing market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>In every cycle, Bitcoin\u2019s price crashes after a bull market, ultimately experiencing a decline between 77% to 86%. Reflecting on this recurring trend, Xanrox forecasts a major <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/key-events-to-impact-bitcoin\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin price correction, <\/a>albeit a weaker one than those of previous cycles. The analyst believes that the cryptocurrency will crash 65% to $40,000, citing its significantly larger market capitalization and <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-institutional-demand-is-rising-crucial-data-reveals-btc-whales-keep-growing\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">rapidly growing institutional adoption<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-713932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Xanrox.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C302\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He shared a price chart that highlights the various halving cycles and the magnitude of each bull market rally and bear market crash since Bitcoin\u2019s inception. He pointed out that statistically, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/is-bitcoin-price-at-risk-for-drop-to-78000-how\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">predicting Bitcoin\u2019s movements<\/a> with a simple chart has always been accurate, suggesting that his 65% crash prediction was inevitable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Bitcoin\u2019s considerable market capitalization of $1.63 trillion makes it unrealistic to achieve the extreme growth needed to reach a target of $300,000, $500,000, or even $1 million, as some moon analysts predict. Xanrox suggests that 2025 may be a bearish year, with the next Bitcoin bull run set to begin in 2026, after the bear market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>CryptoQuant Says BTC Bull Cycle Is Over<\/h2>\n<p>Sharing a similar bearish sentiment about the current market, CryptoQuant\u2019s founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ki Young Ju, hasBitcoin bull cycle.
