Imagine two guys with webcams and opinions, Carl Runefelt and David Wulschner, declaring that Bitcoin’s bear market floor is a cool $60,000. Because, you know, they’re basically Nostradamus with crystal balls. According to them, this cycle lacked the euphoria that justifies an 80% drawdown. Which, let’s be honest, is a relief-no one wants to relive 2017.
With Bitcoin hovering near $76,500, these self-proclaimed oracles seem to be onto something. Runefelt, the Swedish Nostradamus, called $60,000 the bottom in real time, while Wulschner, the German counterpart, sees a “strong accumulation zone.” Because, clearly, nothing says “I’m rich” like predicting a number and having it almost stick.
YouTubers Call $60,000 Bitcoin Floor
In an interview with BeInCrypto, Runefelt shared the moment of divine inspiration:
“When Bitcoin hit 59 point something… I tweeted and YouTubed that this is the bottom of the bear market.”
Because, as we all know, nothing screams “bottom” like a tweet from a guy who probably just checked the weather app first. The Swedish sage argues that the bear market doesn’t need a deep drawdown because the prior peak was as exciting as a Tuesday night in. Well, thank you, Carl.
“We never had any euphoria. We never had that screaming altcoin season. We never had Bitcoin going into that stratospheric mania where everyone in the world is talking about it.”
Right. Because nothing says “stratospheric mania.” He also pointed to the Relative Strength Index, which apparently flashed “oversold” signals last seen during the COVID-era sell-off. With Michael Saylor still buying Bitcoin like it’s going out of style, the case for further downside looks thin.

Wulschner Sees Limited Downside
Wulschner, the other half of this dynamic duo, mostly agreed but left room for a deeper test. His bottom box? $52,000 to $53,000-a level that aligns with the 2017 cycle’s 23% retrace. He still calls this a “strong accumulation support area,” which is basically just a fancy way of saying “I’m rich now.” Because, of course, nothing says “support area.”
“I think it would be a mistake if we’re hoping for pricing below $50,000.”
He mapped a “max pain zone” down to $39,000 at the 0.768 Fibonacci level, though he called it unlikely. The Crypto Familie host pointed to Michael Saylor and other corporate treasuries as the structural floor preventing a deeper flush.
Echoes of Benjamin Cowen’s Apathy Thesis
The dual call converges with Benjamin Cowen’s analysis, which argues this cycle topped on apathy rather than euphoria. Without the mania-fueled top, the historical 80% bear-market template no longer applies. Cowen frames that this cycle is structurally different, arguing that altcoin rotation typically requires the euphoric retail flows that never showed up.
The Risks That Could Break the Thesis
Runefelt flagged what would break the call. If we see more war or more black swan events, we see Trump tweeting something stupid, sure, we can go lower.” Because, as he put it, nothing says “black swan,” which is basically just him being him.
“If we see more war or more black swan events, we see Trump tweeting something stupid, sure, we can go lower.”
Both creators framed the current zone as a strategic accumulation window rather than a trade. Wulschner closed with a clear instruction:
“Profit is not done in the bull market. You set your goals, you set your foundation, you set your anchor positions in the bear market.”
