@jasonpizzino
An Australian position trader who reads markets as cycles and calendars rather than headlines — Gann-influenced timing work layered over an 18-year property cycle. He publishes near-daily on YouTube and posts dated views on X, which makes his stance checkable. Below it is checked, misses included.
In short. Jason Pizzino is a cycle analyst first and a price-target caller second — he says outright that he dislikes targets and prefers “a ladder” of levels. Through 2026 his framework kept him cautious while most of crypto was hopeful, and that caution paid in the June–July crash: on 5 May, with Bitcoin at $79,826 and the timeline declaring the bottom in, he refused to join, and price then fell 26.6% to $58,566. He also called the turn back up early, flagging a confirmed cycle low on 21 Aug at $73,021 — Bitcoin has not traded below that level since. The record is not clean, though: he opened 2026 calling “the hallmarks of being the next bull market” weeks before Bitcoin crashed to a 500-day low, and his April fragility warning came while price rallied 14.9% against him first.
Pizzino is an Australian position trader and educator who co-founded The Investor Accelerator (TIA) with his brother Michael Pizzino. On TIA's own about page he describes himself as a “POSITION TRADER | PROPERTY INVESTOR | BUSINESS OWNER | EDUCATOR” and says he draws on “almost two decades trading in stocks and cryptocurrency, and long-term real estate investing through market cycles.” His main public output is the @JasonPizzinoOfficial YouTube channel — 364K subscribers, and a genuinely high tempo: fifteen videos in the four weeks to 4 September 2026 alone.
The method is what separates him from most crypto commentators. Rather than reacting to news, he works from repeating time structures: an 18-year property cycle that he maps onto stocks and Bitcoin (his channel runs a recurring “18 Year Cycle” update series), plus timing ideas out of W.D. Gann — his 2026 annual forecast post opens on the Gann line that “Years ending in “5” are most likely bullish years.” He posts an annual forecast every 31 December and has done so four years running, which is a rare and checkable habit.
That framework is a double-edged tool, and the honest reading of 2026 shows both edges. It made him structurally cautious for most of the year, which was right into the June–July flush. But it also produced the year's clearest miss: on 7 January 2026 he posted that liquidity similarities meant the market had “the hallmarks of being the next bull market, whether we want it to be or not” — and within a month Bitcoin had, in his own words, “crashed 18% in 24 hours to its lowest price in nearly 500 days.” That post predates this chart window so it is not scored below, but it belongs on the record. His late-2025 forecast of up to a year of lower lows, with a bottom possibly as late as October 2026, was likewise a wide bound: the low arrived on 1 July 2026.

Time-first, cycle-led, target-averse. Pizzino starts from where the market is in a cycle — the 18-year property cycle, Gann-style seasonal and anniversary timing, prior bear-market analogues (2014, 2018, 2022) — and only then asks about levels. He is explicit that he is not a price-target guy: on his $120,000 figure he framed it as a ladder, “reach this price, then focus on the next step up,” rather than a destination. The strength is that it keeps him out of consensus at turns, and his 5 May refusal to call the bottom is the clean example. The weakness is timing precision: his dated markers (“early March is the target date”) have not reliably marked the actual turns, and a cycle that says “lower lows for up to a year” is wide enough to be right about direction while being unusable for position sizing.
Two-speed. Near-term he turned constructive in August, calling the cycle low confirmed and staying above it. Structurally his 18-year cycle work still points at a later collapse in stocks and Bitcoin — so his bias reads balanced now, with a bearish long tail.
Dated public statements from @jasonpizzino — four captured verbatim from X's public syndication endpoint, one from dated press — charted against real price. He is a cycles and sentiment commentator, so most of these are directional and conditional rather than tight levels, and we judged them on what price actually did next. The 2026 sample runs 3 played out, 2 still open, none clearly against. That is flattered by the window: his most wrong call of the year, the 7 January “next bull market” post, lands three days before the chart opens on 9 February, so it cannot be scored here — it is written into the background above instead. Read the record with that in mind.
“The good news for Bitcoin, we're probably closer now to a price low than we are to the $126k all-time high.”
A relative-distance call, and it verified. He said it at $70,175: the eventual cycle low ($58,566) was about $11,600 below him, the $126k all-time high roughly $55,800 above — and that high was never revisited. Price did keep falling first, −8.7% to the February low within a fortnight and −16.5% at the July trough, so this was a direction call rather than an entry. BTC now $79,904 (+13.9%).
𝕏 Post“Closer now to a price low than we are to the $126k all-time high” — @jasonpizzino↗ x.com“Today, after losing $60,000 from the top, the bulls get a relief day. Early March is the target date.”
The relief half landed on the exact day — $64,074 was February's lowest close, and Bitcoin rallied +13.5% to $72,752 by 5 March and +16.6% to $74,679 by 17 March. The dated half did not resolve: early March was the middle of that bounce, not a turn, and the real cycle low came four months later on 1 July at $58,566 (−8.6%). Right about the bounce, unproven on the date, so we log it open. BTC now $79,904 (+24.7%).
𝕏 Post“The bulls get a relief day… Early March is the target date” — @jasonpizzino↗ x.com“liquidity is the lifeblood of markets, and as it dries up, the market becomes more fragile and susceptible to sudden negative movements”
A fragility warning that eventually paid, but late and expensively. From $71,368 Bitcoin first rallied +14.9% against him to $82,018 on 11 May, then delivered the flush he described — −17.9% to $58,566. It has since recovered past his warning level to $79,904 (+12.0%), so anyone who de-risked here is still behind. Note the article reports him in indirect speech; the $50k/$47k/$38k targets elsewhere on that page are not attributed to him and are not used.
SourceReported speech, not a direct quote — economies.com, 10 Apr 2026↗ economies.com“Today, it look like everyone is a hero now BTC is at $80,000 as they believe they've called the bottom.”
His best call of the window, and a contrarian one. With Bitcoin at $79,826 and the timeline convinced the bottom was in, he pointedly refused to agree — while adding “Maybe I'm wrong, we all can be.” Price managed just +2.7% more, topping at $82,018 six days later, then fell 26.6% to $58,566. Four months on Bitcoin is $79,904 (+0.1%) — dead flat — so the crowd he faded gained nothing and rode a 27% drawdown to get here.
𝕏 Post“Everyone is a hero now BTC is at $80,000” — @jasonpizzino↗ x.com“Bitcoin Breakout: NOW Is Different (and confirming the cycle low)”
He flipped constructive at $73,021 and price has not looked back: that day is the lowest close since — the drawdown from the call is 0.0% — and Bitcoin ran +11.3% to $81,265 on 4 September, sitting now at $79,904 (+9.4%). Clean on the breakout. The larger claim, that this is the cycle low, is a multi-year statement that a fortnight cannot settle, so treat the tick as early evidence rather than a verdict.
𝕏 Post“Bitcoin Breakout: NOW Is Different (and confirming the cycle low)” — @jasonpizzino↗ x.comOutcomes are our read of his stated view against real price, not his own scoring.

Near-term marks can flip as the cycle resolves; the 21 Aug call is only two weeks old.
Pizzino's business is education, not signals: a free YouTube channel that feeds a paid course-and-community operation. That is a comparatively clean model, but the funnel is real — the free market commentary is also the top of it — and it is worth knowing where the money sits.
The core business, co-founded with his brother Michael. TIA sells membership programs and courses covering stocks, crypto, futures and real estate — the paid tier behind the free videos.
A subscription technical-analysis toolset sold on the same site, offered with a free trial. Recurring revenue attached to the method he teaches on YouTube.
364K subscribers and a near-daily publishing cadence. Ad revenue matters less here than reach: the channel is the acquisition engine for TIA, which is a reason to weigh the urgency of any given video.
He does not publish audited results or a verified portfolio, and his net worth is not confirmed by any primary source. Judge the dated calls — which are checkable — not the figures that circulate about him.

An Australian position trader, investor and educator who co-founded The Investor Accelerator with his brother Michael Pizzino. He publishes near-daily market analysis to 364K subscribers on YouTube (@JasonPizzinoOfficial) and posts dated views on X as @jasonpizzino, working mainly from long-cycle and timing frameworks.
Not publicly verified. His income comes from The Investor Accelerator — courses, memberships and an indicator subscription — plus his own investments across crypto, stocks and property. Figures circulating online are estimates from secondary sites; none is confirmed.
He is an educator and commentator, not a licensed adviser. On the 2026 record charted here, three of five dated calls played out and two remain open — his 5 May refusal to call the bottom was well timed. But he opened 2026 calling “the hallmarks of being the next bull market” weeks before Bitcoin crashed to a 500-day low. Treat his views as dated, checkable opinion — never trade them blindly.
Time before price. He maps an 18-year property cycle onto stocks and Bitcoin, uses W.D. Gann-influenced timing and prior bear-market analogues (2014, 2018, 2022), and reads crowd sentiment for turns. He is openly target-averse, describing price levels as a ladder to climb rather than a destination.
Partly, and not from the start. In early January 2026 he called the setup “the hallmarks of being the next bull market”, and Bitcoin crashed within weeks. He turned cautious after that, and his 5 May post refusing to join the bottom-callers came six days before the top of a 26.6% decline. He then called the cycle low confirmed on 21 August, and price has held above that level since.
