I accidentally came across a senior trader's Bitcoin prediction on price fluctuations. Although it seems fake, it is worth referencing!
2026 Bitcoin 'Whale Hunting' Annual Prediction
Core Viewpoint: 2026 will be the year of digesting the previous half-year reduction (2024) bubble and the last deep squat before the main rising wave of the new cycle. The market will shift from a purely 'buyer’s market' to a brutal game dominated by derivatives clearing and liquidity traps.
January: Bear Trap
At the beginning of the new year, the market usually experiences a rebound brought by a wave of 'institutional allocation.' However, in January 2026, this will be exploited by bears.
· Trend Preview: After experiencing a consolidation at the end of 2025, there will be a rapid increase of about 15-20% at the beginning of January, triggering FOMO (fear of missing out). However, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) data in the middle of the month or the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes may suddenly turn hawkish, causing prices to quickly retreat below the starting point.
