Three AI Models Diverge on Whether Bitcoin's Bull Market Has Ended

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $67,150 at 12:16 a.m. ET Saturday (05:16 UTC).

Three AI models offered different readings of Bitcoin’s market direction. ChatGPT assessed that BTC was no longer in a confirmed bull market, citing a failed September breakout and a drop below the 50-week moving average. It also said it was too soon to conclude that the recovery from summer lows had ended.

Grok viewed the decline as a correction within a new bull phase. It cited the July 1, 2026, low below $58,000, which most analysts viewed as the bear-market bottom, and pointed to Bitcoin’s earlier autumn recovery above key moving averages, long-term holder behavior and historical cycle timing.

Perplexity said the bull-market case had weakened after a drop of more than 20% from September highs and the loss of the 50-week moving average. It also cited persistent ETF outflows in its analysis, while saying Bitcoin had not decisively fallen below the August lows or long-term weekly support.

TokenPost previously covered Bitcoin’s earlier drop below $81,000, when Placeholder co-founder Chris Burniske viewed conditions as more consistent with an early bull-market opportunity than a warning of a bull trap.
