Bitcoin's Bottom Bingo: Analyst Calls for Two More Months of Hodling Pain

Bitcoin ($BTC) has taken a brutal 50% haircut since its glorious, meme-filled peak near $126k back in October 2025. After a gut-wrenching plunge to the $60k basement, it's now trying to stage a comeback tour above $70k, much to the relief of over-leveraged degens everywhere.

Technically, we're still in bear territory, turning every chart into a Rorschach test for investors desperately trying to spot the bottom. In the cacophony of predictions, one CryptoQuant analyst has thrown his hat in the ring, suggesting the pain train might have a two-month extension.

Analyst Maartunn took to his X pulpit to propose that if Bitcoin sticks to its historical four-year halving script like a stubborn mule, the final bottom could still be roughly two months out. His evidence? A count of 703 days since the last halving party.

History's playbook shows the market bottom typically starts getting its act together around the 777th day after a halving. Crunching those numbers, the analyst points to a late May 2026 finale for the bottoming saga, assuming the pattern doesn't decide to rug-pull us all.

This isn't a new tune from CryptoQuant; their February analysis was singing from the same hymn sheet, noting Bitcoin hadn't yet reached full capitulation and its on-chain vitals were still looking bearish. Back then, the soothsayers were eyeing key price supports, with $55,000 flagged as the potential "final boss" level for $BTC.
