"Bitcoin Will Bottom When This Happens" | Ben Cowen

Key Takeaways

• •

  Bitcoin cycle lows projected for mid-2026

  “And I think that will likely last into the summer of 2026”

• •

  Bitcoin topped on apathy instead of euphoria

  “Instead, you could argue that if the high is in for the cycle, then we topped on apathy rather than euphoria.”

• •

  Altcoins failed to participate in this bull market

  “almost everything else failed to participate in the actual bull market.”

• •

  Current market structure mirrors the 2019 cycle

  “So the top that we experienced here in October is more like a 2019 style top, in my opinion.”

• •

  Liquidity is the primary driver of crypto markets

  “And why liquidity, not narratives, is the real driver of what comes next.”

Episode Description

#Bitcoin #Crypto #Finance Ben Cowen joins me to break down why Bitcoin still looks like it’s following the same midterm-year pattern we’ve seen before, why he thinks the low is probably not in yet, and why a move below $60K later this year is still very much on the table. We talk about why bear markets spend more time grinding up than crashing down, why Bitcoin may not make new highs again until the next cycle, why retail topped on apathy instead of euphoria, and why Ben thinks most altcoins are still just a casino. We also get into oil, energy stocks, manufacturing, stablecoins, and why the real lesson of this cycle may be that crypto spent too much time chasing speculation instead of building products people actually use. 🎙 Guests Ben Cowen - https://x.com/benjamincowen Timestamps 0:00 Coming Up 1:18 Why Bitcoin Feels Stuck at 70K 2:56 What a Convincing Bitcoin Bottom Would Look Like 3:18 Why Bear Markets Fool Bulls and Bears 5:05 The Key Bottom Indicator Ben Is Watching 6:13 The Main Bull Case for Bitcoin Right Now 7:12 Why a 30K–50K Range Isn’t Impossible 10:17 Why Ben Thinks Bitcoin Likely Breaks 60K Later 11:20 Why New Highs This Year Are Unlikely 12:38 Bitcoin Topped on Apathy, Not Euphoria 15:15 Why This Cycle Still Looks Surprisingly Normal 17:22 Why Bitcoin Keeps Bleeding Against Stocks 20:53 The Altcoin Casino Problem 23:43 Why Crypto Focused on the Wrong Things 27:25 Ben’s Long-Term Bull Case for Bitcoin 28:10 What Ben Is Actually Bullish On Now 🚀 Connect & Learn Join The Wolf Pack Community Channel (Free Telegram) – Daily crypto market updates + direct chat with Scott: https://t.me/+34ihhgJnZYRlOWU8 Join The Wolf Pack News Channel (Free Telegram) - Daily crypto news & technical analysis with Scott: https://t.me/+Jzsrl5Xp9NJmMDk0 Free Wolf Den Newsletter – Crypto news & market analysis every weekday: https://thewolfden.substack.com/ 📊 Featured Trading Tools OKX – Trade like a pro with 1:1 backed assets and industry-leading speed.
