ETF buyers are returning. Who will absorb the coins that 2025 buyers keep selling?
Bitcoin is up 46% from its July low and could reclaim its all-time high of $126K by Q1 2027. According to Ecoinometrics, historical drawdowns and recoveries suggest Bitcoin could take 60 to 230 days to reclaim its previous ATH.
Assuming the $57.8K low on the 1st of July marked the bottom, the rebound would be approximately three months old. The longer recovery timeline would stretch into February 2027. The research firm added, Bitcoin is currently around 90 days past the bottom and still about 30% below its all-time high. By historical standards, this recovery does not look mature yet.
If the trend holds, there is still room for it to develop well into Q1This is a very aggressive target compared to Citigroup analysts, who expected BTC to hit $113K by Q3/Q4 2027. The asset traded at $85K at press time. On-chain data supported the Ecoinometrics outlook. According to prominent Bitcoin quant analyst Frank Fetter, Bitcoin’s ‘expansion’ phase could kick off in early 2027.
The analyst cited the Choppiness Index, which distinguishes sideways conditions from trending markets. Per the attached chart, expansion momentum increases if the Choppiness Index retreats.

This sparked a recovery across equity markets, but Bitcoin didn’t join the broader market rebound.
Another inflation data release scheduled for 14th October would confirm whether the Fed will hold interest rates steady or hike by a quarter point. While inflation has dictated Bitcoin’s demand, the asset has its own factors that have weighed on its recovery. Notably, 2025 top buyers are at break-even and driving the currentThose who bought the 2025 rally are selling the most coins per day this year. Those who bought the decline are not.
As such, $89K and $97K will be key resistance levels that must be cleared for Bitcoin’s expansion phase to extend.overall demand is still negative despite the improved U.S. spot BTC ETF flows in the past few weeks. Overall, Bitcoin’s recovery is still intact, but it must navigate through macro uncertainty and the 2025 top buyers’ dump.
