The crypto market in 2026 continues to be volatile! Bitcoin has been declining from its October 12, 2025 high of $126,000, accelerating in early February to $59,800. Over four months, its market cap evaporated by over one trillion dollars, with liquidations across the network and panic spreading. Due to this wave of decline, major institutions are deeply divided, but I have clearly told everyone: the bottom of the crypto bear market may have already formed, and a new expansion cycle is coming! Many institutions are bearish to $30,000, and some extreme views say Bitcoin will go to zero. The core reasons are high leverage causing chain liquidations, the "digital gold" safe-haven property losing effectiveness, plus regulatory pressure and ETF fund outflows, which have intensified panic selling. But I don’t think so. This crash is a key step in solidifying the bottom; the bottom is already emerging, so don’t panic! In the coming months, Bitcoin is expected to stabilize its bottom. Once leverage risks are released, funds flow in, and sentiment warms, a new bull market will start, potentially breaking the $126,000 new high. Reminder to all crypto friends: the crypto market is always a cycle of panic and greed, and this has never changed. This crash is also a reshuffle—concept coins will be eliminated, and Bitcoin’s core value will stand out more. Don’t panic sell or blindly follow the crowd. Rationally view the divergences, and seize bottom-positioning opportunities. I firmly believe Bitcoin will soon emerge from the gloom, start a new bull market, and set new highs. We just need to stay rational, stay confident, and look for opportunities amid divergence, waiting for the flowers to bloom!

Yesterday, Bitcoin traded sideways after dipping to around $69,200 in the early session, then surged to around $70,900 but faced resistance and pulled back. In the evening, the bears gained momentum, causing a sharp decline. A single 15-minute candlestick wiped out the entire day’s gains. In the early morning, it bottomed out near $68,000 and stabilized. It then rebounded slightly to around $69,000 but faced resistance again. Currently, it is fluctuating around $68,600. In the short term, bulls and bears are intertwined, with repeated tug-of-war, and no clear direction yet. If there are no data disruptions, the market is likely to develop a clear trend this week. It is recommended that crypto friends focus on key breakout zones, proceed cautiously with positioning, and strictly control risks.

Ethereum dipped to around $2,035 in the early session yesterday, then rebounded, reaching a high of $2,102 but faced strong resistance above, failing to break through effectively. In the evening, the price was pressured downward again, bottoming near $1,927 before stabilizing. Its overall decline was noticeably deeper than Bitcoin’s during the same period. The main reasons are twofold: first, there is a real capital vacuum in the current market cap sector, with some altcoins leading the rally over the weekend, continuously diverting market funds and further squeezing Ethereum’s upward space; second, Ethereum’s high leverage positions are concentrated, triggering market panic. Any slight disturbance can cause rapid declines. The market has not yet established a clear rhythm, so it’s advisable to stay on the sidelines. If you need to try small positions, be sure to strictly implement defense measures and set stop-losses, cautiously responding to short-term fluctuations.
