BTC falling below $60K could delay new all-time high to 2027

An analysis suggests that if Bitcoin's price falls below $60,000, the next major bull market could be delayed until 2027. According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has erased its March gains, and its long-term trajectory aligns with a sharp downward cycle that could see its price fall another 40% by the end of the year. This would push the recovery phase to the second quarter of 2027. The analysis notes that larger price drops historically require longer recovery periods. Based on a quantitative model of past data, every additional 10% decline adds 80 days to the time needed to set a new all-time high. Given the current 48% drop from the peak, surpassing the high of around $126,000 would take an estimated 300 days from October 2025. A deeper correction would extend this timeline further, the report explained.
