#Bitcoin is closing the year under pressure 📉

A weak Q4 has clearly split the market — and volatility isn’t going anywhere.

Short term, a relief bounce is absolutely possible.

Thin liquidity below could push $BTC into the $98K–$104K zone 💥

That said, I don’t see this as the start of a new bull run.

To me, it looks much more like a classic bull trap — a bounce meant for distribution, not continuation.

Zooming out 👀

2026 is far from certain. The market is stretched between two extremes:

👉 $50K on one side

👉 $250K on the other

In my view, this isn’t confidence — it’s confusion.

Macro conditions, capital flows, and politics will matter far more than short-term technicals.

Long term?

I still believe the $250K thesis is alive 🚀

But only if:

• Institutional adoption continues to deepen

Bitcoin keeps behaving like a macro asset, not a meme trade

If that happens, the next expansion phase will likely be slower, more structured, and harder to trade — not the chaotic pumps we’ve seen in past cycles.

My honest take:

This is a mentally exhausting phase. Fake pumps, fake breakdowns — one wrong move hurts.

But the long-term game isn’t broken. If anything, it’s just getting started.

Those who survive the noise now are the ones most likely to capture the next real cycle
