Latest data from blockchain analytics platforms show that Bitcoin faces significant challenges at the start of 2026. After closing 2025 with a decline of about 6%, BTC now records an annual loss of 18.92%, much deeper than the positive performance that was expected in mid-last year.
This development reflects the extreme volatility experienced by the cryptocurrency market during the reporting period. Investors and analysts continue to monitor every movement of BTC, hoping to see a recovery toward positive territory in the upcoming quarter. However, the persistent downtrend keeps the outlook uncertain—whether Bitcoin will manage to regain profitability levels or continue to deepen losses. Market momentum will be a key determinant of investor sentiment moving forward.
