A while ago, I came across a viewpoint from veteran crypto investor Michael Terpin: Bitcoin might hit a bottom of $60,000 in Q4 2026. This prediction has certainly attracted a lot of attention, after all, Terpin's analysis in this circle has always carried some weight.



The current market looks like this: BTC is quoted at $89,148, with bulls still in control. The RSI is at 53.6, which appears relatively stable from a technical perspective. Support is at $87,365, resistance at $90,931, and the key breakout point is at $90,485. If the price can hold at the current level and break above this point, a new upward space might open.

A detail worth noting is that the short positions of the ProShares Bitcoin & Ether Market Cap Weight ETF have decreased by 20.7%. This indicates that the short-selling force in the market is weakening, which from one perspective is a positive signal for BTC. More importantly, this change in holdings may reflect that institutional funds are quietly adjusting their positions, and their actions often influence the next market trend.

Returning to the trading aspect, the strategy is straightforward: maintain a half-position now, and consider adding more only after confirming a breakout above $90,485. Place the stop-loss slightly below $87,365 to leave a safety margin. The short-term target is $95,000, but honestly, it also depends on whether the market truly cooperates.

The biggest mistake in this wave of market is being dragged by FOMO emotions. The market is always there; rushing or not rushing often makes little difference. The key is to have a plan and disciplined execution. What do you all think?

60000? Ha, Terpin is storytelling again. Who can predict what will happen in two years... For now, let's just think about how to hold onto 90485. Institutions are quietly rebalancing? Wake up, by the time they adjust, we've already been cut. Half-position is cautious, but I'm just worried the market won't follow the script... Let's wait for a breakout before making any moves. FOMO is the most harmful. I've fallen for it countless times myself. Discipline is essential.

Waiting for a breakout with half a position, this approach is stable... Just worried that after the breakout, the market might reverse again.

tbh terpin's $60k call for 2026 feels like opportunity cost math gone wrong... if we're still holding at 89k next year that's just capital utilization failure lol

Holding half the position and waiting for a breakout—this strategy is old news. The key is whether there is disciplined execution.

ngl terpin's $60k floor call is just statistical noise at this point... the real alpha here is parsing those ProShares flow dynamics, 20.7% short reduction screams institutional repositioning to me, classic inefficiency vector

Waiting for a breakout before taking half the position. I approve of this move, just worried that it might pull back again at 90,000.

Institutions are silently moving their positions, the 20.7% short position retreat by ProShares... Have you noticed the recent on-chain footprints of those original addresses? It’s definitely not as simple as it looks on the surface. Terpin said the bottom could reach $60k in 2026. Just listen to that, the real signal needs to be dug out from the contract data. Waiting for a breakout above $90,485? That's too conservative. The key is to watch who quietly accumulates coins below the $87k line. When dormant wallets move, that’s the real signal. Staying steady at $89k feels comfortable, but have you considered that this might just be a process of major funds cleaning out their positions... RSI at 53.6 doesn’t reflect the deeper capital migration trajectory at all. Those shouting FOMO have already been tracked.
