Ancient Price Chart Predicts 2026: A Year of Market Prosperity
According to the latest tweet uploaded by Crypto Crew University, a historic chart popularly known as the “Samuel Benner ‘Periods When to Make Money’ model” is making rounds on X, calling 2026 a breakout year for global markets. Per the model, the chart is divided into a three-tier system called the ABC, where each letter refers to a different market phase. As explained by Anil Jangra on Medium, category A symbolizes phases of market panic, while category B is all about peak market times. On the other hand, category C involves signal periods of low prices, ideally hinting at the best time for purchasing assets.
“Samuel Benner signed this chart in 1875 to expose financial markets’ periodic behavior. The graph separates time into three recurring phases: A: Panic Years. Market panics have occurred in the past according to this chart, and they will repeat in the future. B: Good times…Years of high prices and prosperity, the best time to sell stocks and assets. C: Hard Times. During the years of low market prices, investors should purchase stocks as well as real estate and additional assets.”
The Crypto Crew University tweet comprises this essential element, adding how the chart predicts 2026 as the breakout year for the investors to keep an eye on.”
“This 150-year-old chart predicted 💥 1929…💥 1999…💥 2009…💥 2020…decades before they happened. And its next major signal? 👉 2026 = a peak year. Not doom… a sell-the-top kind of peak. Stronger than the usual 4-year crypto cycle. If Benner was right about the last 150 years…Are we headed for an extended bull run into early 2026? 🤔🔥”

A user under the Crypto Crew University tweets and ends up asking Grok about the accuracy of Brenner’s predictions. Per Grok’s reply, the chart is 75% to 80% accurate but also comes with its own set of flaws, including hindsight bias.
