Since it’s pretty clear we’ve now seen this cycle’s bull market high, I’ve created an updated halving-cycle model built on four Bitcoin cycles.<\/p>\n
\n
The model projects a cycle low near $35,000 in December 2026 after a 72.5% drawdown from a $126,219 cycle high.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Inside the halving-cycle framework<\/h2>\n
My last model correctly marked both the 2021 and 2025 top timeframes. The new framework, \u201cAkiba Cycle Model v2<\/strong>,\u201d combines a 50,000-run Monte Carlo simulation with walk-forward validation and leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV).<\/p>\n
It breaks the cycle into three linked components: drawdown from a bull-market high to the subsequent cycle low, the number of days from a halving to that low, and the recovery multiple from the low into the next halving.<\/p>\n
The drawdown and timing components produced smaller historical errors than the recovery leg. That recovery leg drove the largest miss in its out-of-sample test.<\/p>\n
The model starts from an empirical pattern in prior cycles in which peak-to-trough drawdowns have eased each era while still remaining deep.<\/p>\n
Historical drawdowns from the bull high to the cycle low were 94.1% in the first cycle, 88.2% in the second, 83.7% in the third, and 77.6% in the fourth, based on the cycle taxonomy used in the accompanying chart.<\/p>\n
The fitted projection for the fifth cycle centers on a 72.5% drawdown, with a simulated band from 71.9\u201373.1%.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin cycle model projections and cycle drawdowns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
That drawdown distribution is tight because the monotone decay holds across all four observations. Its LOOCV root-mean-square error is 0.63 percentage points.<\/p>\n
Using the bull-market high of $126,219, the implied cycle-low price distribution clusters around the mid-$30,000s.<\/p>\n
The median simulated low is about $34,700, with a $33,900\u2013$35,500 P10\u2013P90 range.<\/p>\n
Timing points to late 2026<\/h2>\n
I also mapped how long it takes the market to reach the cycle low after a halving.<\/p>\n
The days from halving to cycle low stepped from 778 days in cycle 1 to 784 days in cycle 2, then to 890 days in cycle 3 and 923 days in cycle 4.<\/p>\n
The fifth-cycle estimate centers on 980 days after the April 2024 halving, which maps to December 2026. The P10\u2013P90 window spans November 2026 through January 2027.<\/p>\n
The LOOCV timing error is wider than drawdown, at 37 days. That reflects variance in the lengthening pattern, including the six-day increment between the first two cycles.<\/p>\n
A condensed view of the cycle history used in the model is below.<\/p>\n

Recovery multiple drives the widest uncertainty<\/h2>\n
The recovery leg is the portion that the model treats as least stable. It estimates the multiple from a cycle low to the next halving price, a pathway that has compressed over time in the historical series.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin cycle recoveries and time from cycle low<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The low-to-next-halving multiples were 347.8x into H2, 67.2x into H3, and 20.8x into H4, with a central estimate near 5.0x into H5.<\/p>\n
Because that component has only three historical observations and failed its walk-forward test, the simulation uses a wide uncertainty band for the H5 halving price.<\/p>\n
Its P10\u2013P90 range runs from $60,000 to $489,000, with a median of $172,000.<\/p>\n
I built and ran the backtest myself to pressure-test the model across prior cycles, making clear where its assumptions tracked reality, and where they began to break down. The backtest is explicit about where the approach held up.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin cycle model backtesting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Training on cycles 1 through 3 and predicting cycle 4, the model produced a 78.2% drawdown estimate, compared with an observed 77.6%, a 0.7 percentage-point gap.<\/p>\n
It also projected 929 days to the cycle low versus an observed 923 days, a six-day gap.<\/p>\n
In price terms, it projected a cycle low of $15,012 versus an observed $15,474, a 3% miss.<\/p>\n
The same exercise underpredicted the recovery multiple by 38% (13.0x predicted versus 20.8x observed). That miss then propagated into a larger error on the implied halving price.<\/p>\n
Those diagnostics shape how the outputs are presented.<\/p>\n
The model treats the cycle-low estimate as the primary forecastable variable and frames the next-halving price as scenario space.<\/p>\n

Market-moving headlines and context delivered every morning in one tight read.<\/p>\n
The Monte Carlo engine samples from an ensemble of simple functional forms (linear fits, exponential decay, and average-decrement variants), injects noise calibrated to LOOCV residuals, and uses jackknife resampling of the four-cycle dataset to stress sensitivity to any one era.<\/p>\n
It also clamps outputs to bounds defined in the notes. It then chains the drawdown, timing, and recovery draws to produce a joint distribution.<\/p>\n
A snapshot of the fifth-cycle distribution outputs is below.<\/p>\n
The notes also include two probability statements derived from the simulated distribution set: a 64.4% chance that the H5 halving price exceeds $126,219, and a 100% chance that the cycle low stays above $20,000 under the model\u2019s structural floor assumptions.<\/p>\n
Both claims are conditional on the model design, including its small-sample calibration and its independence assumption. That assumption treats drawdown, timing, and recovery as separable random draws even though they can co-move.<\/p>\n
The observations underpinning the cycle taxonomy help explain why the model focuses on drawdowns and elapsed time rather than peak returns.<\/p>\n
Peak gains relative to the prior halving price have compressed each era, moving from 10,375% in cycle 2 to about 2,900% in cycle 3 and 632% in cycle 4.<\/p>\n
In the notes, the current cycle\u2019s bull high is set at 103% over the prior halving price.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the halving-to-high interval lengthened from 363 days after the first halving to 522 days after the second and 555 days after the third.<\/p>\n
Under the chosen data points, the model places the fifth-cycle bull-market high at 537 days after the April 2024 halving.<\/p>\n
The model documentation lists several limitations that can change how these distributions should be read.<\/p>\n
It uses four cycles in total, so its tails can understate outcomes outside the historical range.<\/p>\n
It also does not account for regime variables such as ETF flow patterns, custody structure, or macro correlation inputs like rates and liquidity.<\/p>\n
The recovery module is flagged as the main source of uncertainty, since the walk-forward test showed that cycle-shape extrapolation did not capture the cycle 4 recovery multiple.<\/p>\n
For market participants who treat halving-era behavior as a repeatable template, the v2 framework formalizes two prior-cycle regularities: a drifting drawdown rate and a lengthening path to the cycle low.<\/p>\n
It leaves the next-halving price as a wide distribution rather than a point call.<\/p>\n
The model\u2019s median path places the next cycle low in the mid-$30,000s around December 2026. It leaves the halving-5 price as an outcome band anchored at $172,000 in the middle of a $60,000 to $489,000 range, with the caveat in the notes that it is not financial advice.<\/p>\n
