#Bitcoin is closing the year under pressure 📉

A weak Q4 has 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 💥

🔹 But let’s be clear:

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

This looks more like a classic bull trap — a bounce for distribution, not continuation.

👀 Zooming out:

2026 is wide open, but not confident.

The market is stretched between two extremes:

👉 $50K on one side

👉 $250K on the other

That’s not conviction — that’s confusion.

📊 What really matters next:

• Macro conditions

• Capital flows

• Politics & policy

Short-term technicals will matter far less than people expect.

🚀 Long term view:

I still believe the $250K thesis is alive — but only if:

• Institutional adoption keeps deepening

Bitcoin continues to behave like a macro asset, not a meme trade

If that happens, the next expansion phase will be:

✔ Slower

✔ More structured

✔ Much harder to trade

Not the chaotic pumps of 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 — it’s maturing.

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