Benjamin Cowen’s Warning: Bitcoin’s Bear Market Likely Isn’t Over Yet

In this interview, Benjamin Cowen shares his outlook on Bitcoin, arguing that the four-year cycle remains intact and that the market may still face months of bearish price action driven by “time-based capitulation.” He explains why historical patterns still matter, responds to criticism of his recent calls, and discusses key signals to watch in 2026. The conversation also dives into broader crypto trends, including the impact of ETFs, the rise of meme coins, and how speculation and lack of real use cases have affected the industry’s credibility. #Bitcoin #Crypto #BenjaminCowen #CryptoNews #BTC #Investing #Markets #CryptoAnalysis #Trading #financenews 00:00 Intro 00:30 What is “time-based capitulation” in Bitcoin? 01:25 Is the four-year cycle still valid? 02:15 Key metrics pointing to further downside 03:50 Comparing 2026 to past bear markets (2018, 2014, 2022) 06:15 Responding to criticism of bearish predictions 08:45 Why historical cycles still matter in crypto 11:45 Has the crypto industry lost credibility? 12:25 Meme coins, influencers & liquidity drain 14:00 Can crypto recover from the damage? 16:30 Are ETFs actually bullish for Bitcoin? 19:05 Fed policy, rate cuts & macro risks 21:15 Are “shitcoiners” anti-science? 23:30 Outro Follow COINTELEGRAPH: Website: https://cointelegraph.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/cointelegraph Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cointelegraph Twitter: https://twitter.com/cointelegraph Mobile app: https://linktr.ee/cointelegraph_mobile Cointelegraph covers everything Bitcoin, bringing you the latest news, prices, breakthroughs, and analysis, with emphasis on expert opinion and commentary from the digital currency community.
