Bitcoin’s price may have seen ‘deepest pullback’ at $77K: Analyst

Bitcoin’s fall of around 7% to $77,000 on Saturday might have marked the low of this cycle, according to Bitcoin analyst PlanC.

It comes as other crypto analysts continue to call for further downside for Bitcoin in the coming months.

Bitcoin fell 7% to around $77,000 on Saturday and has since slightly moved up to $78,690 at the time of publication, according to CoinMarketCap.

The asset’s price is now down around 38% from its all-time high of $126,100, which it reached on Oct. 5. PlanC said the downtrend Bitcoin has experienced reminds him of past crashes like the 2018 bear market capitulation when Bitcoin fell to $3,000, the March 2020 crash when the asset fell to around $5,100, and the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, which saw Bitcoin dip to around $15,500.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin advocate and financial accountant Rajat Soni said in an X post on Saturday that the drop down to $77,000 came during one of crypto’s more volatile parts of the week and warned traders against overreacting.

However, some have been speculating that the downfall may go further.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently predicted that Bitcoin could fall as low as $60,000 by the third quarter of 2026.

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen said Bitcoin’s market cycle low will likely come in early October, but “anticipates plenty of rallies will occur between now and then.”

Meanwhile, Jurrien Timmer, Fidelity’s director of global macroeconomic research, said 2026 could be a “year off” for Bitcoin, with prices potentially falling to as low as $65,000.
