Investors rode quite the wave through 2025—plenty of reasons to feel bullish about positions, rallies, and overall market momentum. But fast-forward to early 2026, and the vibe's shifted noticeably. Markets are opening the year with choppiness and uncertainty creeping in. Positions that looked solid a few weeks back are getting tested. Volatility's picking up, sentiment's cooling, and traders are reassessing what happens next. It's a classic market rotation—euphoria fades, reality checks in, and the real question becomes: how deep does this pullback go, and what does it mean for the rest of the year? Those who rode the upside should probably tighten risk management and watch key support levels closely.

Really, last year was a blast of profit, and now with a turn, the market hits back hard... This is the daily life of crypto.

This drop came too quickly. In 2025, we're still riding high, but now it's about to fall below support. Where's the promised bull market?

Since 2025 has been great so far, turning to 2026 and getting slapped in the face... This is the crypto world. When prices are rising, everyone is a master; when they fall, you realize who was swimming naked.

Damn, 2025 is going to be crazy, and now you're adjusting again? I already said you shouldn't be too greedy.

Really, the 2025 market rally was incredible, and now being proven wrong is indeed a reality. --- To be honest, the coins I was optimistic about are all falling; this is the market... --- Only now do I remember to manage risk? Why didn't I do it earlier haha --- I need to keep a close eye on the support level; it feels like it's not over yet --- When euphoria fades, panic begins; this is the difference between retail investors and institutions --- Tsk, the profits made in 2025 could be half gone this year, unbelievable --- The rotation is coming; let's see who can survive and come out on top

I knew it would turn out like this. Last year's celebration is already time to pay off the debt.

Last year I was on cloud nine, and I was quickly taught how to behave, haha.

The bragging from last year will all be paid back this year. I already said to take profits, but some people are still greedy.
