Looking at $BTC historical behavior, market cycles after each halving have shown a fairly consistent and repeatable structure. After a halving event, the crypto market usually enters a strong bull run that lasts roughly 12 to 18 months. This phase is driven by reduced supply, growing demand, and increasing media attention. Once the bull run peaks, it is typically followed by a bear market that can last between 1 and 2 years, during which prices decline, sentiment weakens, and weak hands exit the market.
Using this historical framework, 2026 is most likely to be a bear market year. This does not mean crypto is “dead.” On the contrary, bear markets are often the best periods for long-term investors. They provide opportunities to accumulate Bitcoin at discounted prices before the next major expansion phase begins. Historically, one of the most reliable buying periods has been around 12 months after Bitcoin reaches its All-Time High (ATH).
In this current cycle, Bitcoin reached its ATH in October 2025, when price moved above $90,000. Based on previous cycles, this places October 2026 in a potential high-probability zone for market bottom formation. Many past cycles have shown that the deepest price corrections tend to occur around this timeframe, before the market slowly starts recovering and preparing for the next bull run.
October has also historically been an important month for Bitcoin, often marking trend reversals or the beginning of strong moves. If the cycle repeats, October 2026 could represent a period where fear is high, confidence is low, and prices are attractive for those who are patient and prepared.
Now, let’s talk about the idea of a “Supercycle.”
Some analysts argue that crypto is entering a supercycle, meaning the traditional boom-and-bust pattern may no longer apply. According to this view, instead of a deep bear market after the bull run, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market could continue rising from 2026 through 2028. The reasons often cited include increasing institutional adoption, growing approval and expansion of Bitcoin ETFs, deeper involvement from governments and multinational corporations in blockchain infrastructure, the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies, and the rapid growth of stablecoins and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
While these developments are real and important, I personally remain cautious about fully accepting the supercycle narrative. Crypto markets have repeatedly shown that even during periods of strong fundamentals, human psychology, leverage, and speculation still drive cycles of excess and correction. Until a supercycle is clearly confirmed by long-term price behavior and structural market changes, it is safer to respect historical patterns rather than assume “this time is different.”
My practical approach for 2026 is simple and disciplined.
I would avoid rushing into crypto positions at the beginning of 2026 unless one of two conditions is met. Either Bitcoin clearly breaks into a new ATH territory, potentially above $100,000 with strong volume and market confirmation, or a significant market correction occurs later in the year, particularly around October 2026.
The reason for focusing on this timeframe is that market bottoms often form 12 to 14 months after the previous ATH. Most retail investors tend to buy near the top due to excitement and social pressure, then panic sell near the bottom due to fear and exhaustion. Successful investors do the opposite. They rely on logic, data, and patience rather than emotions.
A smart plan for 2026 would look like this:
Stay calm and avoid emotional decisions. Volatility is part of crypto, and reacting impulsively usually leads to losses.
Continue learning. Deepen your understanding of $BITCOIN , crypto cycles, DeFi, wallets, on-chain security, self-custody, and blockchain fundamentals. Knowledge compounds just like capital.
Evaluate quality projects carefully. Focus on projects with real use cases, strong teams, sustainable token economics, and long-term relevance, rather than short-term hype.
Allocate capital gradually. Do not invest all your funds at once. Slowly set aside cash so you are ready to deploy when high-probability opportunities appear, especially if prices drop significantly.
Avoid hype-driven assets. Meme coins and trend-based projects can deliver short-term gains but often collapse quickly. Long-term success comes from fundamentals, not excitement.
History gives us clear examples of how this plays out.
In 2021, $BTC reached an ATH near $69,000 in November. About one year later, in November 2022, price dropped to around $16,000, marking the cycle bottom.
In 2017, Bitcoin peaked near $20,000 in December. One year later, in December 2018, it bottomed below $3,200.
If the current cycle follows a similar path, October 2026 aligns well with a potential macro bottom, making it a powerful accumulation window for patient investors who plan ahead rather than chase price.
Final thoughts.
Successful crypto investing is not about constant action. Timing, discipline, and emotional control matter more than being active every day. Not every moment is a buying opportunity. Sometimes the best decision is to wait, observe, and prepare.
Do not rush to label yourself an expert. Study the market, respect cycles, and build your strategy slowly.
#bitcoin has never failed. Most people fail because they let emotions override discipline.
Stay humble, stack sats, and prepare for October 2026.

#AltcoinSeasonLoading
Sezonul altcoin-urilor ar putea începe în curând—și eu mă pregătesc. Vedem $BTC încetinind în jur de 120K$, iar banii se mută încet în altcoin-uri precum $ETH , $SOL , și chiar memecoins. Piața se încălzește din nou.

🌱 Ce este Sezonul Altcoin-urilor?
Sezonul altcoin-urilor este atunci când altcoin-urile cresc mai repede decât Bitcoin. De obicei, se întâmplă după ce BTC a avut o mișcare puternică, iar oamenii încep să cumpere alte monede cu profiturile lor. Atunci vezi lumânări verzi peste tot—în special în monedele mai mici.
