 has recently emphasized that 2026 is a maturation year. Their general and Rob Hadick, have noted that while the "extreme bear" of 2022 is unlikely to repeat due to better infrastructure, we are seeing a "liquidity vacuum."
The "Strong Hands" Argument: Volatility right now is designed to shake out speculative leverage. ’s view suggests that 2026 is less about "moon shots" and more about which protocols are actually being used by institutions and tech giants.
Structural Edge: They advocate for looking at on-chain demand and institutional inflows (ETFs) rather than just Twitter sentiment.📈 Strategy for the Current Volatility
To align with the AYATTAC" insight of finding an edge in structure, consider these tactical adjustments:
Wait for Confirmation: Don't "catch the falling knife." In a 2026 market, a successful retest of support with rising volume is more valuable than a speculative entry.
Focus on the "Big Three": Capital is currently concentrating on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Mid-cap altcoins are seeing a "liquidity drain" as traders de-risk.
The "Survival" Mindset: Many 2026 outlooks suggest that this is a year for accumulation, not euphoria. If you can preserve capital through these swings, you’ll be positioned for the predicted "price discovery" phase late in the year.
Key takeaway: Sentiment is a lagging indicator; liquidity is a leading one. If the structure holds, the bulls are just resting. If it breaks, the bears are redecorating.
