It was the combination of three independent signals: improving speculative positioning, the breakout of an almost one-year descending trendline, and what appeared to be the beginning of a new phase in Bitcoin\u2019s two-year cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my previous article, <strong>\u201c<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/bitcoin-at-a-turning-point-is-the-crypto-bear-market-finally-over\/\"><strong>Bitcoin at a Turning Point: Is the Crypto Bear Market Finally Over?<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u201d<\/strong>, I argued that these signals were consistent with the possibility of a broader bullish transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, Bitcoin has moved higher and, more importantly, price action has provided another confirmation of that scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question therefore changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of asking whether the summer low could represent a turning point, investors can now ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If the bullish cycle has indeed started, where could Bitcoin go next \u2014 and when could the next important peak occur?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My analysis currently points toward an area around <strong>$100,000<\/strong>, potentially during the final weeks of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That conclusion comes from three elements that are once again converging: technical analysis, cycle analysis and seasonality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-80-000-was-the-level-bitcoin-needed-to-break\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>$80,000 Was the Level Bitcoin Needed to Break<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next important development has been the move through the $80,000 area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This level is particularly interesting because it has played different roles during Bitcoin\u2019s recent history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At different moments it acted as support, resistance and as part of the broader consolidation zone that contained prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of price structure matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a market spends months trading inside a range, the eventual breakout can provide useful information about the potential magnitude of the subsequent move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One simple technical approach is to measure the approximate height of the consolidation range and project it above the breakout area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applying this methodology to Bitcoin produces a technical objective in the region of <strong>$100,000 to slightly above $100,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This should not be interpreted as a precise price forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets rarely move in straight lines, and Bitcoin in particular can experience substantial corrections even within strong bullish phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, $100,000 represents an area where the current technical structure suggests that the next major price objective could emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"344\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Picture1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-257500 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Picture1-1.png 602w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Picture1-1-300x171.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 602px; aspect-ratio: 602\/344;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The breakout above the $80,000 area allows the previous consolidation range to be projected higher, producing a potential technical objective around $100,000.
