Analyst predicts Bitcoin will fall below $58k, Ethereum to $1,600 before Q3

Aralez maps next cycle: BTC under $58k in Q2, above $140k by 2027

Crypto analyst Aralez outlines a two‑year path. A May–June 2026 sell‑off, then a Q3 bottom and a late‑2026 rally (source).

Bitcoin BTC trades near $80,000 today (source). Sentiment improves. Equities sit at highs, but Aralez sees a reversal risk (source).

• Stage 1 (May–June 2026): One more panic. BTC drops below $58,000 (~27%), ETH near $1,600 (~32%). S&P 500 breaks below 6,800 (source; source; source).
• Stage 2 (Q3 2026): Bottom forms. Whales accumulate. Leadership change at the Fed coincides with sell‑off and first US rate cut. S&P could hit $5,200 at the lows (source; source).
• Stage 3 (Q4 2026–2027): New uptrend. BTC climbs above $90,000 in 2026, then breaks ATH to >$140,000 in 2027. Drivers: AI integration in crypto, QE amid global crisis, fresh narratives bringing new users (source).

Buying at the Q3 bottom near $58,000 would imply ~3x to $140,000 within twelve months if the target lands (source).
