Are Bears Returning to Bitcoin? Bulls Face a Critical Test at This Level! Fidelity and its Chinese Founder Assess the Current Situation!

BitcoinSistemiBitcoinSistemi2026/10/09 14:09

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, fell to the $82,000 level as selling pressure intensified in the market. While this raises questions about whether further declines may occur, Chris Kuiper, vice president of research at Fidelity Digital Assets, stated that the bear market may not be over yet.

The Bear Market May Not Be Over Yet!

Chris Kuiper from Fidelity stated that it is not clear whether the rise since August marks the beginning of a new uptrend.

At this point, Kuiper stated that this rise could be a counter-trend recovery within the ongoing bear market, and that price increases do not guarantee the end of the bear market, saying, “The bear market may not be over yet.”

Kuiper based his analysis on Bitcoin’s four-year cycle. Noting that Bitcoin has historically formed bull market peaks and bear market troughs at approximately four-year intervals, the analyst stated that the last significant trough was seen in November 2022, raising the expectation that the current cycle could also bottom out around November 2026.

However, Kuiper emphasized that the four-year cycle never repeats with complete precision, suggesting that Bitcoin could fall again, potentially forming a new low in November or later months.

Bitcoin Warning from Chinese Founder: Below $79,000 is on the Agenda!

Jack Yi, the founder of LD Capital, who made headlines due to his losses in Ethereum, stated that the correction in Bitcoin may not be over yet.

Yi noted that following Bitcoin’s drop below $82,000, and considering the speed of the decline over the past two days, the downward movement could continue, increasing the likelihood of the price falling below $79,000.

According to Yi, if the $79,000 level is also lost, price movements around $75,000 will be closely watched in the market. These levels are key points to monitor during a potential correction.

Yi concluded that the current downward movement in Bitcoin is not a definitive sign that the overall uptrend has ended, but rather a normal correction within a bull market.

Update: Equities Rise Intraday as Traders Parse Consumer Sentiment Survey

01:37 PM EDT, 10/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with latest market prices and developments.) US benchmark equity indexes were higher intraday as investors evaluated a survey on consumer sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.8% at 51,628.8 after midday Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 rose 0.6% each to 27,352.4 and 7,809.5, respectively. Barring communication services, all sectors were in the green, led by real estate. US consumer sentiment fell in October as the one- and five-year inflation expectations reached their highest levels since May, preliminary results of a University of Michigan survey showed Friday. "While year-ahead expectations for personal finances and business conditions crept up slightly, buying conditions for durables plummeted amid high prices and borrowing costs," Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu said. "Frustration over cost-of-living continues to mount, as consumers across the political spectrum believe that the trajectory of the economy has weakened since the beginning of the year." Markets are currently pricing in a nearly 81% probability that the Federal Reserve will keep its benchmark rate steady later this month, with the remaining odds in favor of a second consecutive 25-basis-point hike, as the central bank looks to tame inflation, according to the CME FedWatch tool. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 0.4% at $91.17 a barrel intraday, while Brent lost 0.5% to $103.81. The 10-year US Treasury yield was up 1.5 basis points at 5.25%, while the two-year rate increased 3.9 basis points to 4.8%. In company news, SpaceX (SPCX) shares were up 0.5%. The rocket and satellite company said late Thursday it agreed to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum portfolio from investment firm Grain Management as it seeks to establish Starlink Mobile as a major US mobile carrier. T-Mobile US (TMUS) shares sank 13% intraday Friday, the worst performer on the S&P 500, followed by AT&T (T) and Verizon Communications (VZ), which fell 10% and 9.8%, respectively.
