Bitcoin Monthly Profit in 2026: Six Consecutive Months of Decline

Bitcoin’s monthly profit chart for 2026 says it all. Bitcoin is heading into its sixth consecutive month of losses. This has only happened once before: from August 2018 to January 2019. This is exactly why nobody cares about crypto at this point. The prior bull run was very weak, and the subsequent correction has been extremely brutal. Six Consecutive Red Months CoinGlass’s monthly profit chart says it all. October 2025: -3.69%. November: -17.67%. December: -2.97%. January 2026: -10.17%. February: -14.94%. March is currently at -0.48%. If this level holds through the end of the month, we will hit the milestone of six straight losing months.

CoinDesk confirms that a red month close will create the longest losing streak ever, equivalent to the streak from August 2018 to January 2019. A streak like that is very rare. The fact that it’s now at risk of happening says a lot about market sentiment. Why Nobody Wants to Buy Anymore? No one is excited to discuss crypto anymore. It’s the inevitable consequence after six brutal months. Phemex’s analysis shows that Bitcoin fell -10.17% in January and -14.94% in February, kicking off the worst start to a year since 2022. The Fear & Greed Index is at 11, reflecting extreme fear. In 2022, the reason was very clear: the collapse of Terra and FTX CCPress notes that this time, no single major bankruptcy is the cause. The losses were driven by macro pressure, geopolitical stress, and institutional capital inflows falling short of expectations. As a result, the market’s fundamentals weren’t fundamentally broken. That’s an important difference from 2022. I’ve never seen market sentiment this bad. At the same time, according to my liquidation analysis, these are actually the best buying opportunities in history. Exactly when nobody wants to buy. The Lessons We Can Learn From 2018 In 2018, Bitcoin’s monthly returns were negative for several straight months. From August 2018 to January 2019, Bitcoin kept sliding every month. However, 2019 saw a rebound of more than 150%. This wasn’t because the fundamentals suddenly changed, but because all the weaker hands sold out, and there were no sellers left. CCPress confirms that in the history of long stretches of losses after many months of consecutive declines, the period usually plays out in one of two ways: either a recovery within three to six months, or continued deterioration. The difference lies in the liquidity environment. The QT cycle ends in December 2025 PortfoliosLab confirms that six consecutive down months is the longest losing streak in the entire history of Bitcoin. That makes this period of especially important historical significance. Conclusion The numbers accurately describe what’s happening. Nobody cares. Everyone is afraid. But six straight months of market declines are precisely the conditions that make it favorable to build the best investment positions. I will execute a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy on April 1. Not despite the months of declines, but because of them.
