As per CoinEdition, crypto market analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts Bitcoin will reach a cycle peak in late 2025, followed by a downturn in 2026. He cited historical patterns from 2013, 2017, and 2021, where major peaks occurred in the fourth quarter after U.S. presidential election years, with sharp declines in the following years. Cowen also noted that altcoins like Ethereum and Solana may see brief rallies before the broader market weakens. He highlighted Bitcoin's dominance index and the 50-week moving average as key indicators. Retail interest in crypto remains muted, with low search and social media activity. Cowen expects Ethereum to reach $5,000–$7,000 before a 2026 decline and compared Solana's trajectory to Ethereum's past cycle. He warned that high interest rates and constrained liquidity could hinder crypto gains, but a more accommodative Fed stance after 2026 might support future growth.
