📉 Bearish / Caution Scenarios
Not everyone sees a classic bull run:

🧠 Key Factors Driving the Next Bullrun
📊 1. Institutional Adoption
Ongoing allocation by institutions (especially via Bitcoin ETFs) is a major bullish catalyst. This may create consistent buy pressure vs. previous retail-only rallies.

📉 2. Macro Liquidity & Rates
If major central banks shift to looser monetary policy, that could increase risk-asset flows, including BTC — a reason some bulls think the cycle could extend.

📉 3. Technical Price Structure
Current consolidation and “higher lows” seen on long-term charts are interpreted optimistically by some traders as a foundation for new upward momentum.
