The Bitcoin price could be headed for more pain, as a crypto analyst has identified a new bear market indicator that suggests a crash to $40,000 is imminent. The analyst has predicted when this deep price decline is set to occur, warning investors to remain cautious or risk selling at a loss.
Xanrox, a crypto analyst on TradingView, shared a detailed price analysis of Bitcoinon 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 halving events, which occur every four years. During these years, the market alternates between bull markets, where prices skyrocket, and bear markets, marked by severe corrections. Bear Market Indicator Predicts Next Bitcoin Price Crash Historically, bull marketslast between 742 and 1,065 days, which is about 2-3 years. Conversely, bear marketslast between 364 and 413 days—approximately one year. Notably, every bull run for each cycle has been weaker than the previous one due to Bitcoin’s rapidly growing market capitalization.

In every cycle, Bitcoin’s price crashes after a bull market, ultimately experiencing a decline between 77% to 86%. Reflecting on this recurring trend, Xanrox forecasts a major Bitcoin price correction,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 rapidly growing institutional adoption.

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’s inception. He pointed out that statistically, predicting Bitcoin’s movementswith a simple chart has always been accurate, suggesting that his 65% crash prediction was inevitable.
Currently, Bitcoin’s considerable market capitalizationof $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. CryptoQuant Says BTC Bull Cycle Is Over
