$BITCOIN Headline: Is the "Santa Rally" skipping Bitcoin this year? 🎅📉
As we hit mid-December, Bitcoin is telling a different story than many predicted. After the euphoria of hitting $126k in October, we’re seeing a significant pullback to the $87,000 range.
While the "four-year cycle" theorists are debating if we’re ahead of schedule for a correction, the underlying data suggests a shift in market structure:
Institutional Era: We aren't just seeing retail hype anymore; massive players like Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo are now deeply integrated via ETFs.
Hashrate Growth: The network hashrate just hit a record 1,031 EH/s, showing that miners are still betting big on long-term security.
Macro Pressure: With uncertainty around Fed rate cuts and a strong USD, BTC is acting more like a "risk asset" than "digital gold" at the moment.
The Big Question: Is this "Bitcoin fatigue" a necessary cooling period before a record-breaking 2026, or are we seeing a decoupling from traditional tech stocks?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are you holding through the volatility or waiting for a lower entry point?
