Whole market basically dead right now.

What's your prediction for upturn? Will a breakout happen in 2026 or will be just languish through the year in a mostly bear market?

I think we'll see upwards momentum before spring but not in the entire market. Most of the upticks will be Bitcoin, ETH, ZEC, and maybe a couple others which are showing signs of growth. Lots of alts will go nowhere and continue their decline imho.

My main reasoning is that Gold and Silver are way up. This is showing weakness against the Dollar. Bitcoin SHOULD technically be following that but so far hasn't. I believe it's because of market manipulation in crypto so large funds can accrue at the cheapest prices before manipulating them higher.

Also not that ending 2025 in the down helps balance sheets avoid taxes. Part of the bad December might be just that.

Most of the market will probably rise due to people getting extra cash ( think refunds, a possible stimulus from the president ). Also world events might make bitcoin much more valuable as it’s more valuable when there is uncertainty ahead. More advancement in AI will make it slow down if computing becomes more available.

I’m kind of hoping Bitcoin breaks to 150K for 2026. Otherwise, I’m thinking BTC will be around 50-65k as the lowest for a bear market, which isn’t really bad compared to alt coins. Either BCH or XMR will
replace ADA for top 10. Dogecoin might be hit out the ballpark too since there’s not so much hype on that.

Might even be nice if SUI overtakes SOL. Even though I think that might be years away. Who knows.

Hoping Xmas is where things start taking a turn

Precious metal is are way up YTD and is continuing to break ATH, it means market is running to "safer" asset? isn't crypto viewed as risky asset that tend to be dump first? Especially with the recent BOJ interest hike

Yes, crypto market is still young and immature and imho still considered the risky asset with high volatility. But I will add that even with the dump from $126k (BTC) it's currently holding steady and not really tanking on a day to day basis.

I think we would all like to see a supercycle or full alt send in 2026 but that might just be hopium at this point. No actual analysis is pointing towards a big upside lift and retail hasn't been putting money in crypto. I invested in a sound project which made a 100% move - since then Bitcoin has dragged it back down with the rest of the market. There's a bunch of news coming out that institutions are buying crypto so who knows but for now the market is so depressing. I've stopped investing, just hodling and waiting it out.

I am thinking the money flowing into precious metal will eventually flow to crypto (BTC,ETH...)? Just like how money from BTC > Large cap > mid cap > low cap?

Market is kinda popping rn, the past month of solid sideways with small decline to this small spike. I feel it's a short pump and it will go back down again though...

85-90k bouncing up and down. With 40x leverage, you can be making 100-200% each time.

Or lose it all at once. Leveraged trading is super dangerous.

Alts run from here. guaranteed.

Some major market players are currently holding unusually large cash positions, which to me suggests they are preparing for a significant market correction. I believe a crash is coming.

After Santa Rally Crypto goes usualy bearish in January anyway.

So i warn everybody its not the time to invest your money wait for the crash patient.

Run into the ground?

You live off hopium. It's more likely that alts continue to be stagnant overall and drop even more significantly.

ETH is arguable the most popular alt and it's down 38% from ATH. Meanwhile BTC is only off 28%.

ADA's ATH was 2018 and its down 88%. It never reached a new ATH this cycle. And basically that's the majority of the alt market. Hitting peak ATH's when it has the attention of the market and then that attention goes elsewhere and the alt performs poorly. Meanwhile BTC is still King and continue to be the only investment sure to hit new ATH's each cycle.

The market never stays dead for too long.
