Bitcoin price consolidates near $111K amid mixed signals—bulls reassert control but analysts warn of possible bear phase with a $50K bottom by late 2026.
Bitcoin Price Faces Crossroads Amid Mixed Signals
On one side, bulls can point to a rebound above $112K resistance, which preserved the longer-term bull-market support channel. Short liquidations triggered a bounce, and macro sentiment is leaning dovish with a likely Fed rate cut priced in. Analysts say BTC still has path to $120K–$128K if it climbs past this range.
On the flip side, crypto cycle veterans are cautioning of an approaching bear phase. A Bitcoin bear market could begin this October under historic four-year cycle theory, potentially driving the price down to $50K by late 2026—even if short-term momentum holds.
Add to this a record-high hash rate (showing network strength) and crypto’s growing role as macro hedge alongside gold, and you’ve got a market that’s calm for now but primed for volatility.
So yeah, Bitcoin price is stable for now, but while bulls are flexing, cycle watchers are reminding everyone: this rhythm has played out before.
