BTC trades sideways at 76,000, KillaXBT is bearish on 2026, Jelle predicts a shortening of the bear market

According to Woofun AI, after the Federal Reserve implemented a 25 basis point rate hike, the price of Bitcoin was anchored in the $76,000 range and showed a sideways trend, and the market is gradually absorbing this macroeconomic policy shock.

The trader community is markedly divided on the evolution of the cycle. KillaXBT judged that BTC would be difficult to reach $100,000 in 2026, and is expected to be dominated by fund-raising and range-bound fluctuations, which may be delayed until next year. Jelle pointed out that the traditional four-year cycle is breaking down, and if October doesn't hit a new low, the bear market will be significantly shortened and the decline will narrow. Based on the historical bear market time of about 365 days, Rekt Capital believes that the downturn cycle is nearing its end.

According to data compiled by Woofun AI, multiple opinions focus on the game between cyclical compression and price resistance levels.

In terms of macro risk, Peter Schiff warned that continued inflation could push US Treasury bond yields above 6%, thereby suppressing stock and BTC performance while increasing the appeal of gold. Traditional asset linkage effects have exacerbated the volatile uncertainty of the crypto market.
