Will 2026 be green?

[Oasisman]

There is a belief that this decline of the market points to a good market movement in the next year. I am quite conflicted now because mentally I was preparing for the four year cycle, bear run part of all of this and now there might be a possibility wherein bitcoin may recover. I am quite set with my plan but I also want to be flexible enough in case something unusual happen.

Remember, this is just a belief, and nothing is set in stone yet.  This speculation of green 2026 might be red instead.  I will always expect the previous pattern and will just act accordingly.  It is better to expect the worst than to be caught unprepared while expecting the next year to be green.

And you are right to be flexible in this kind of highly volatile market where the next trend is still unknown.

That's a good mindset on how you handle your asset as we approach the year 2026. Though I'm not really thinking too bearish next year, the past cycles may not be the same as of todays. There are differences, and those differences are enough to change the cycle that we once believed. Past data suggests that 1 - 2 years from the next Bitcoin halving, the market tends to have a consolidation period, and there will be a slight upward movement as people gradually accumulate more to fill their bags to maximize their potential profit once the value skyrockets. Now, since there are lesser supply that's being added to the circulation and the demand continues to grow, I'm quite sure it will draw a stronger uptrend.
There could be several reasons for Bitcoin becoming green in 2026 as much as becoming red, it only depends on how people would react to every rise and fall of  Bitcoin, since every movement has an analysis and speculation.

The price is currently undergoing a correction, the cause of which is also common and has been repeated this December. Next year, the price may not recover as quickly as many hope, as it is still recovering from the correction caused by the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

But for 2027, I'm quite confident a new ATH will be surpassed, and BTC will then show its fangs as an asset that has proven capable of dispelling many skeptics. This isn't an asset to be feared; it's a real solution that truly benefits all parties.

For Bitcoin market in 2026 I will hope for the best and also expect the worse to happen, this is the mindset that I keep because nobody can perfectly predict when the market will be bullish or bearish. But from this point where price is presently it gives little hope that we can see a new ATH in in 2026, it is clearly struggling to rally near $100k which is not a good indicator. But the asset is volatile and we should expect anything to happen, hopefully see a new ATH before the inevitable bear run fully starts. For investors it depends on whether they want to buy or sell at this point, if it's to buy I will say this is a good buy opportunity but for those that wants to sell it is not a profitable time.

Not everyone bought bitcoin at prices above $100k or $126k, and they are now losing money. Many people have also been buying and accumulating bitcoin since 2022, or even earlier. If they missed the opportunity to take profits when the price was above $120k, I think selling now wouldn't be wrong either. However, that will depend on each investor's plan and strategy.

Regarding predictions for 2026, and anything is possible, but I think expecting Bitcoin to reach new ATH is overly optimistic. The bull market has lasted too long, and we should accept the reality that it needs to end. Therefore, we should prepare for a bear market.

Not everyone buying above $100k is right, because this cycle alone the bottom price is $16k, there are those of us who bought at $20k, $30k, $40k and so on... there is no doubt for them if they sell today, because their money has multiplied from the purchase price, but people who buy above $100k, they have to be a lot patient and wait.

Broadly speaking we already have the end time for this cycle and we will enter into a bear market if we continue to follow the 4-year cycle pattern of bitcoin, but when the institutions enter it could be a different roadmap, they have enough money to move the market, so 2026 is still uncertain, but it is better to be careful.

Nobody can really predict 2026, but accumulation over time has proven to work for a lot of people. If someone has a solid BTC stack already, selling small portions during dips doesn’t hurt as much, like you said. Imo the key is having a plan and not just reacting to the thread hype. DYOR and stick to it.

Selling a little won't hurt if you hold a lot of bitcoin, but I don't ever consider selling below the purchase price as something wise to do unless the person is left with only that option to solve a pressing need; if not, it's rather okay to endure the pain and wait for a bounce back than to sell and wait for the right time to rebuy.

If the pressing need is not health related then i prefer taken a loan with a good terms and conditions to solve that pressing need instead of selling amd this must be after you have exhausted your emergency funds and reserve funds, of course there is nothing wrong selling at some point of your investment where you consider selling part of your holding not being a big deal which shouldn't only be when you in sort of financial troubles, you can sell even when you are as free as the air it is your investment and you can decide to reward yourself if want to.

[OgNasty]

If 2026 is green, it will be bucking a trend that has existed since the beginning of Bitcoin’s life. Not saying it isn’t possible, but it would be an anomaly we haven’t seen before in this market.

Exactly. We don't need to be confident yet on a very uncertain time and unpredictable market. Though everyone is optimistic that eventually the market will turn bullish by 2026, but realistically speaking, we can speculate as much as we can but we can't take full control how the market will be like by 2026.

So I think believing the worst will be a lot easier than believing what is hard to turn into reality. The market remains uncertain all throughout the year, so I guess the same scenario may happen that will make the market stay unpredictable.

Nobody can predict the future of cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin accurately we may say that Bitcoin price will it be on red within this year and next year and there is every possible that it might not happen in such a way that we think, what I mean is that revise can be the case when it come to cryptocurrency price, so saying that the price of Bitcoin can change or will be on green color in 2026 I don't think that there is any accuracy on that because bitcoin price can change now and also tomorrow without expectation of anyone so that is why whenever making a prediction in Bitcoin you have to be careful for analysis

Do you know the most interesting part of bitcoin, nobody knows the direction that bitcoin is going to take in the next few minutes, and that’s why even when making prediction about bitcoin, you can’t be accurate always, that’s why as a trader, you cant be making profits always, time will come when your prediction will be wrong. So I will say nobody knows what’s going to happen next year, everyone is just making speculation, and some might be wrong. It’s better we are just patient and see what’s going to happen by 2026, but i know 2026 is also going to be a great year for bitcoin.

Does it really matter? The market may turn bullish or bearish, but if we're not aware on their different opportunities and advantages, we will still not gain profits. Bitcoin may be currently at a quite bearish price this month, and its okay, this is a big opportunity to buy back bitcoin and proceed with DCA. And when the market turns green the following year, what we started doing now will be rewarded with higher profitable gains.

The market is not about how bullish it is, what's more important is how we were able to seize the opportunities while it is bearish. Fortunate those who have prioritized buying bitcoin, they will be given 5x to 10x profits. But unfortunate for those who missed the opportunity, they might only feel envy while seeing others are in huge gains.

Bitcoin will definitely burn green candles again, it is certain but after a few days of patience, the price of Bitcoin is currently being corrected but it does not mean that it will completely fall. Be patient and take the opportunity to buy during this dumping period of Bitcoin price, because later the price of Bitcoin will increase several times again because there is a halving cycle in the future in 2028 and from there the Bullrun will start, so be patient and be ready to make the holding more long-term. But for this, it is important for every Bitcoin holder to take the opportunity to buy Bitcoin.

[STT]

2026 can be green largely from the price action you are seeing right now, the gains in 2025 have been quite moderate leaving the door open for something greater later.   It might not be normal but also I don't consider counting BTC by years like this is altogether accurate, its not following the script we lay down.

  The reference to block reward is increasingly less important then other factors and this is by design of Satoshi himself surely as he put in this decline and price has risen since the days of simple thousands and hundreds.
  The dollar itself has varied alot in the last year if you look at dollar index thats a giant move for trillions in what is supposed to be the safest money.
  I will go with that trend first, if DXY can get back above 100 then sure we get a sell and if I get what I expect which is a trend downwards below 90 and further negative then why not consider BTC quite able to rise for many months.

[Marykeller]

Let's not start now to forecast what 2026 will be like when a whole year is made of 365 days, that we can get to hear of different news(positive and negative) affecting the market.

I wouldn't know how they year will look like, to begin to give myself unnecessary hopes that can make me to sell and buy Bitcoin in anticipation of a bull run and bearish market happening. I would advise for us for us to stay calm in this process, not to sell or buy Bitcoin out of FOMO.

You are absolutely correct that is the truth about it, because is not something we can easily get it right so it's better we have patience and wait for 2026. There are things you would do now and put yourself in the danger because I have come to realize that Bitcoin normally come up when you don't expect that is the secret most people don't know, everything we are doing is guesting so it will be very nice to stick with your investment plan because because doesn't always work the way we think, but it's obvious that Bitcoin would do more better next year.

I will not mind that bitcoin will be doing better or not in the next year and I will simply go with my DCA. If it would be bearish market in the next year, then I would accumulate more bitcoin for my same $100 per month or if it would be continuation of bullish market then I would be happier with my current holding still I will not stop my DCA which is for ensuring that I am saving more bitcoin for 2030 or 2035.

Honestly I am not waiting for 2026 which means that I am open to have both bullish and bearish in the next year. What I am really focusing is getting more salary and securing my future by investing in right assets. If I get a salary hike in 2026, I will increase my DCA amount a little bit and all my focus of hitting a salary hike and a promotion and not the bitcoin market.

It's not a good time to ask about future price of Bitcoin specially when price is down, you will get negative answers about future price of Bitcoin when it's bearish. We have seen in the past, Bitcoin defying all speculations and move in opposite direction. The price is down and best thing we can do at this moment is to accumulate more and more Bitcoins. We have seen in past that whenever Bitcoin price went down, it always come up strongly and that's why we need to buy now to book our future profit.

You only speculate on what the market will look like next year, we cannot tell until then. Saying definitely isn't the correct way to give analysis of the market, the market may fall and be more bearish.

Everyone will have something to say concerning Bitcoin future, i think overall 2026 will be big bearish, the start of the bearish season.

Many think the same about 2026.
2026 is going to be a bearish for the market because that's what the patterns say so.
Those who haven't seen it happen and they've just entered the market recently and only saw the bullishness of it.
They have to be prepared for it because it's going to be a long market that's bearish they have to survive.

[YUriy1991]

That's a good mindset on how you handle your asset as we approach the year 2026. Though I'm not really thinking too bearish next year, the past cycles may not be the same as of todays. There are differences, and those differences are enough to change the cycle that we once believed. Past data suggests that 1 - 2 years from the next Bitcoin halving, the market tends to have a consolidation period, and there will be a slight upward movement as people gradually accumulate more to fill their bags to maximize their potential profit once the value skyrockets. Now, since there are lesser supply that's being added to the circulation and the demand continues to grow, I'm quite sure it will draw a stronger uptrend.

I completely agree with your opinion, 2025 will be a year full of surprises. This year, Bitcoin hit a record high, but afterward, many investors rushed in and bought Bitcoin at high prices, but by the end of the year, the market turned red. This is a disaster for those who bought Bitcoin at a high price. I believe there's no other reason for them than to patiently wait for the market to return to a positive trend in 2026, although this is uncertain. However, it's better for them to wait to avoid significant losses.
