Traders who accurately predicted the BTC peak say it will reach $250,000 in 2026

An anonymous trader from 4chan, who accurately predicted Bitcoin's cycle top on October 6, 2025, recently released a new forecast stating that Bitcoin will reach $250,000 in 2026. This trader has built a model based on historical cycle symmetry, believing that it takes about 1,064 days from the bear market low to the cycle high, followed by a decline of about 364 days.

Their previous prediction almost perfectly matched Bitcoin's sharp drop within four days after hitting the peak on October 6. The timing of the new forecast is noteworthy, as the current Bitcoin Composite Market Index (BCMI) has retreated from its highs, demand growth has sharply slowed, and several technical indicators have turned bearish. However, the trader believes that the current pullback is a reset phase, and the larger upward cycle structure has not been broken, with a new price peak expected in 2026.
