Experts are warning that Bitcoin’s price could drop significantly, potentially falling to around $41,000. This prediction is based on a concerning pattern appearing in price charts, especially considering Bitcoin is currently trading near $66,000 – about half its recent peak value.
Geopolitical Shock Hits At A Bad Time
Oil prices jumped sharply this week after the Strait of Hormuz was closed, causing concern in global markets and leading to declines in riskier investments. Bitcoin was also affected by this downturn.
Bitcoin’s price fell below $66,000 as investors reacted to increasing energy prices, continuing high inflation in the US, and renewed problems in the bond market. This recent international instability has made an already uncertain market situation even more difficult to manage.
Bitcoin’s price chart is now showing a ‘bear flag’ pattern, which suggests prices may fall further after a short period of stability following a recent drop.
Market experts suggest Bitcoin could initially fall to around $50,000. If selling continues, it might drop further to $41,000.
Bitcoin’s value has dropped 47% since it reached its highest point. While this significant decline may seem concerning, experts who study the crypto market believe it’s a typical part of the natural ups and downs seen in the past.
A Cycle That Has Played Out Before
Historically, Bitcoin’s performance often weakens during midterm election years. Looking at data from 2014, 2018, and 2022, a pattern emerges: prices typically begin the year steadily, then decline from late winter into early spring, and continue to fall throughout the summer. So far, Bitcoin’s price movement in 2026 is following this established trend.
On average, around now is when #Bitcoin continues its decline in midterm years.

Bitcoin analyst Benjamin Cowen, known for tracking its long-term patterns, highlights a “mid-cycle dip zone.” This is a period of price decline that usually happens after a significant market surge and can last for many months.
According to Cowen, midterm election years aren’t usually marked by market crashes. Instead, they tend to be times of slower growth and increased uncertainty. Price increases often stall, market swings become more common, and any dips in the market tend to last longer than investors anticipate.
That assessment accurately reflects the current situation. After a significant surge in 2025, Bitcoin’s performance this year has turned negative, a pattern similar to what’s been observed in previous market cycles.
Patience May Be The Only Strategy Left
Bitcoin investors who plan to hold for the long term should know that similar market dips have occurred in the past, and they’ve always recovered eventually, according to analysts.
Currently, things don’t look good for Bitcoin. Broad economic challenges are increasing just as its price charts are showing signs of decline, and there’s nothing obvious on the horizon that would likely change this downward trend.
