New poll: ATH before 2026?
The answer is yes.
No one knows .... But i'm in for it.
You don't sound confident.
If you were a betting man, then on a 50/50 bet, then which side would you take?
Personally I would have a hard time taking such a bet.. since there are only 6-ish weeks remaining in this calendar year.
If I would bet for this year making ATH I really don't know, but I would always go for it as long we are less as 30% from ATH
Well right now, as I type this post, we have ONLY 6.5 weeks before the end of the year.
It is funny how percentages go, yet to go up to the ATH, we have to go up 31.5% from the current price of $96k in order to touch upon the ATH of $126,272 (that is $126,272 / $96,000).. On the other hand, if we want to proclaim how much we dipped from the top, it is ONLY 24% (that is $96,000 / $126,272).. .funny how numbers (maths) work like that.
No matter the calculation.. it is a bit of ground to make up, and surely it is not impossible to happen in 6.5 weeks.
Let's see what happens..
In this market greedy bastards like me can't win. I've been telling myself to buy Bitcoin if it goes down below 100k dollars. However this time I want to see 75k dollars. I will have a question to ask the geniuses here. Is it the right time now to start buying gradually or should I wait a little longer?

Holy fucking shit, CLS63. Are you trolling us? You have been here since August 2017 and you are still fucking around trying to figure out when to buy dee cornz?
You should have had already been buying since August 2017 and that would have had helped you to answer your own question, since if you had been buying since August 2017, then either you can continue to buy or if you had gotten enough, then you would have had stopped buying at some point and then your stash size might inform you whether you might buy on certain dips.
Where you are at might help to answer your own question... and sorry for your loss if you spent 8 years on the forum without steadily buying bitcoin or some variation of such.

I would wait for ~25k. HFSP.
You BIG meanie d_eddie. I see a lot of folks waiting for $70k.. as if that is not unrealistic enough.

You've been here for 8 years, what took you so long?

I'll tell you next week

More serious answer: "buying gradually" sounds like DCA. The whole point of DCA is that you don't try to time the market, so you can start anytime you want.
I see that Loyce beat me to it.

He could do dip
And dca.
10k to invest
100 a week for a year is 5200
800 on separate dips
94k
89k
84k
79k
74k
69k
He may never put any dip money in since we may never go to 94k or lower.
But he will do the 5200 with the dca
$10k to invest. Put $5k in right now.
Invest $2,600 for the next 26 weeks at $100 per week.
Invest another $2,400-ish for buying dips that may or may not happen.. and we still need to be happy even if the dips do not happen. $300 starting at $92k then 7 more every $3k down at $89k, $86k, $83k, $80k, $77k $74k and $71k.
Of course there are a variety of ways to be creative since it is likely that a guy has an amount available and then he has an income coming in too.. so both the amount that he has and the amount that he has coming in needs to be accounted.. and since his investment in bitcoin should be 4-10 years or longer, he likely will need a couple of cycles to really make progress.. even though along the way of his investing, he may well have additional money come in that he is able to dedicate to bitcoin investing.. that is if he has enough enthusiasm for bitcoin rather than just cashing out every year, as some people do (and then don't make any progress, even after investing in bitcoin for 10 years or more).

If you are ready to buy...
You are correct. Some folks are not "ready to buy." So that is a problem for those people.. yet what are the reasons for their not being "ready to buy?" The devil is in the details, no?
NGL, thinking of taking some profit again next time we hit $100k USD/BTC.
The economic numbers have me a bit spooked, and would be nice to just sit on the cash. Schwab has a really good money market account.
The fact the govt isn't releasing October numbers is... historic.
Not sure we're gunna see $125k USD/BTC before the end of the year.
Would love to be wrong.
Have a great weekend, folks.
Yeah but.
What about early 2026?
The crazy part about today’s losses are that Strategy is currently buying with $700+ million dollars raised from the STRE offering. Saylor confirmed this during an interview this morning. It looks a lot like this market and Strategy are cooked. I don’t see how Saylor doesn’t get sued by his shareholders for all his preferred offerings at this point. Hopefully he has some of that $700+ million earmarked for a weekend pump…
Saylor said in his tweet on Nov 14, 2025 that "
We bought bitcoin every day this week."
He is not missing out on any opportunity to buy Bitcoin whether it's up or down in price.
That is all he can do. So he likely will buy this weekend too right? Not sure if you were trying to have a gotcha moment there or what… He keeps saying he can’t be liquidated, but he sure as hell can send his stock price to $0, get sued, lose, be forced to sell his BTC, and crash the market. Dumb people (you know who you are) think he can’t be liquidated. Anyone with a brain realizes he can be forced to sell by a judge and most likely will after a painful legal battle if his stock price continues to plummet.
A lot of "what ifs" in there, Mr. Legal expert.
