Is Bitcoin’s Bottom Finally Here? VanEck CEO Shares Bold Prediction for 2026

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a market bottom, attributing current price weakness to the cryptocurrency's inherent four-year halving cycle. He believes that 2026, being the fourth year following the cycle's typical pattern of price increases followed by a massive drop, is when the bottom is forming. This view is partially supported by Kaiko research, which notes that recent price drawdowns align with historical corrections.

However, the article notes that some analysts challenge the continued relevance of the four-year cycle, suggesting Bitcoin is now more influenced by global liquidity and institutional capital flows. Despite the debate, CryptoQuant provided specific projections based on past cycle structures, estimating that the market bottom could occur between June and December 2026, with the most probable window being September to November 2026. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading around $68,217.
