In January 2026, the Shanghai Composite Index in the A-shares market experienced a 17-day consecutive rally.

This kind of data is simply unheard of in the crypto world. The volatility in the crypto market is on a completely different level—daily gains and losses are the norm. Seeing a continuous string of over ten bullish candles? The difficulty level is far higher than in traditional stock markets. The trading rhythm, leverage effects, and 24/7 nonstop operation in the crypto space make it very difficult to form such sustained unidirectional trends. Every attempt to push higher is easily knocked back by the bears.

This also precisely reflects the fundamental differences between the two markets—while the A-shares market has many participants, its market depth and mechanisms are relatively stable; in contrast, the crypto market, despite its strong liquidity, is much more susceptible to emotional swings and black swan events. To grasp the trend here requires a level of psychological resilience and risk management that is at least one tier higher.
