BroadChain has learned that, according to a Cointelegraph report on April 12, macro investor Jordi Visser believes Bitcoin and Ethereum are approaching critical price levels that could signal a trend reversal in 2026. This view comes despite a growing consensus within the industry that the market has already entered a bear cycle.
“A sustained breakout above $76,000 for Bitcoin and $2,400 for Ethereum would mark the beginning of a durable bull run in 2026, assuming no recession materializes,” Visser added. “With inflation expected to remain stubbornly high and the S&P Index potentially stagnating, investors will need to seek returns elsewhere.”
Prediction market Kalshi currently places the probability of a recession in 2026 at 24%, reflecting a 10-percentage-point drop over the past month.
Visser’s optimistic outlook contrasts with the increasingly bearish sentiment across the crypto sector, where some analysts even predict Bitcoin could fall below its year-to-date low of $60,000, recorded on February 6.
Echoing a more cautious view, veteran trader Peter Brandt suggested on March 31 that Bitcoin may retest—or even slip “slightly below”—that $60,000 level around September or October 2026, which could represent the bottom of the current bear market.
