Legendary Market Chart That Nailed 1929, 1999, 2007, and 2020 Crashes Predicts 2026 Peak

A century-old technical analysis chart—one that eerily foreshadowed the 1929 crash, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 pandemic selloff—is flashing its biggest signal yet: a 2026 market top.

Wall Street's 'broken clock' analysts are already dismissing it—just like they did before every prior crash.

The chart's creator? Lost to history. Its accuracy? Unnerving. The implications? Either a generational wealth opportunity or a warning to buckle up.

Funny how the same traders who mock 'ancient' TA will panic-buy when this prediction trends on FinTwit in 2026.

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.

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
2007
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.

Grok Predicts Banner Chart Accuracy

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.

The Benner Cycle chart, from 1875, has aligned with some major events like the 1929 crash, 2000 dot-com bubble, and 2008 crisis, with supporters estimating ~75-90% historical accuracy in broad patterns. However, critics highlight misses, hindsight bias, and backtests showing it…
