Crypto analyst PlanB believes Bitcoin’s next major price peak could occur between 2026 and 2028, countering traders who argue the top has already formed around $126,000.
He explained that while the four-year halving cycle plays a role in shaping market trends, relying on it alone for forecasts is misleading. PlanB clarified that his Stock-to-Flow model estimates the average price of Bitcoin across an entire cycle rather than identifying precise highs or lows.
PlanB Says Bitcoin’s Big Move Could Come After 2025
According to crypto analyst PlanB, the period spanning six months before and eighteen months after each halving has historically been profitable, but that alone doesn’t guarantee accurate predictions.

He suggested that Bitcoin’s next peak might not arrive in 2025, but rather in 2026, 2027, or even 2028, depending on a deeper “phase transformation” a fundamental market shift that has yet to happen in the current cycle.
PlanB explained that either a major price surge is still ahead or the market is evolving into a steadier phase led by institutional investors and funds. In both cases, he views the outlook as positive for Bitcoin, adding that a prolonged bear market without a strong rally is unlikely.
For context, Citigroup has previously noted that Bitcoin’s performance remains closely linked to movements in the stock market.
