As we step into 2026, the narrative is shifting from "Will we break the ATH?" to "Can we sustain it?" 🧐 Here’s my take on where BTC is heading: The Scenario: Higher Lows, Not Deep Crashes I don't see a prolonged consolidation in the trenches. I see Bitcoin holding firmly above the previous cycle's peak. The 4-year cycle is effectively dead (or at least severely mutated) thanks to the Spot ETFs. We've moved from a retail-driven hype cycle to an institutional asset allocation model. The New Price Anchor The anchor has changed. It used to be the halving; now it's global liquidity and sovereign adoption. With countries adding BTC to treasuries and corporations holding it on balance sheets, the "sell pressure" that usually causes 80% drawdowns is evaporating. The Verdict: 2026 will likely be a year of sideways-to-upward grind at high altitudes. We aren't crashing; we're building a new floor. The volatility will compress, but the direction is anchored up.

As we step into 2026, the narrative is shifting from
"Will we break the ATH?" to "Can we sustain it?" 🧐
Here’s my take on where BTC is heading:
The Scenario: Higher Lows, Not Deep Crashes
I don't see a prolonged consolidation in the trenches. I see Bitcoin holding firmly
above the previous cycle's peak. The 4-year cycle is effectively dead
(or at least severely mutated) thanks to the Spot ETFs. We've moved from a
retail-driven hype cycle to an institutional asset allocation model.
The New Price Anchor The anchor has
changed. It used to be the halving; now it's global liquidity and
sovereign adoption. With countries adding BTC to treasuries and
corporations holding it on balance sheets, the "sell pressure" that
usually causes 80% drawdowns is evaporating.
The Verdict: 2026 will likely be a
year of sideways-to-upward grind at high altitudes. We aren't crashing; we're building
a new floor. The volatility will compress, but the direction is anchored up.
What's your prediction? New ATH this year or a year of
range-bound accumulation? Let's hear it! 👇
