A 4chan post from December 12, 2023, by user SBC7H7La predicted Bitcoin would reach its market top on October 6, 2025, based on a repeating 364-day cycle pattern. Bitcoin fulfilled that forecast by hitting an all-time high of $126,198.07 on the exact date.
The same numerological framework adds 364 days to that high, pointing to October 5, 2026 as the cycle bottom. As the date arrives, Bitcoin is trading around $86,100, roughly 32% below its peak and up about 2% on the day. The cryptocurrency already fell to approximately $57,000 around mid-year, a decline of about 52% from its record, though 21Shares noted that the drawdown remained milder than the 80%-plus bear markets of previous cycles.
A weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report — just 29,000 jobs added in September versus the 90,000 economists expected — may encourage the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates steady rather than hike, which traders view as supportive for risk assets like Bitcoin.
Still, analyst Benjamin Cowen, who considers the accumulation phase to have begun on July 1, says another leg down is possible, with a potential fourth-quarter floor near $44,000. The technical setup appears more optimistic, but the 4chan prediction remains the main narrative for traders watching today’s date.
