Based on the market trend by the end of 2025, 2026 is likely to feature a pattern of first forming a bottom, then consolidating, and finally anchoring. Most institutions believe that if the second half of 2025 indeed marks the top of this cycle, then 2026 will be a year of adjustment. However, due to the cost basis supported by institutional holdings, it is unlikely for prices to experience the 80% decline seen in the past. The current consensus bottom support range is between $65,000 and $75,000, which is close to the previous bull market's high point. 2026 may not be a prolonged downtrend bear market, but rather a wide-ranging consolidation zone. As the halving effect of 2024 is fully digested, market forces will shift from supply shortages to macro liquidity-driven dynamics.
This is a very insightful observation. The price anchoring of BTC is indeed shifting from a highly volatile speculative asset to a low-volatility, high-liquidity reserve asset, reflected in three dimensions: capital structure, macro environment, and cycle decay. Previously, BTC's anchor was determined by retail panic and greed. By 2026, the anchor will be more influenced by institutional allocation ratios. With the demonstration effect of companies like MicroStrategy and discussions in more countries about including BTC in strategic reserves, BTC is becoming a tool to hedge against fiat currency uncertainties.
The macro environment in 2026 may be accompanied by the Federal Reserve's validation of a soft landing after rate cuts. If the global economy enters a re-inflation phase, BTC's status as digital gold will be further solidified, and its price anchor will systematically rise. Current models show that BTC's fair value anchor has steadily risen to around $100,000, and falling below this level would be seen as a significant undervaluation.
2026 might be the first year to prove the failure of the four-year cycle law. The continuous buying from spot ETFs has smoothed out selling pressure. 2026 is unlikely to see a severe deep bear market; instead, it may be a sideways consolidation of "time for space."
I believe that in 2026, Bitcoin will stabilize above the previous bull market high and attempt to establish a new normal centered around $100,000. It will no longer merely follow the rise and fall of the crypto market but will act independently as a macro liquidity indicator globally.

The world is not at peace, so what's the point of talking so much? This time it's kidnapping this one, next time it will be kidnapping that one. Now the presidents of small countries are trembling...
