Prepare for bold statements in 2026

[Swordsoffreedom]

The best way to prepare for next year is to continue buying now that the market is at a DIP knowing that in next year to come, if there's a bull, there's a gain and if there's not, we can still continue investing till the market eventually gets bullish because certainly, before the end of the coming year, we will get past the last all time high.

Do you know why people have to analyze and make hundreds of predictions? Because there's a huge gap between words and actions, and talking is always easier than doing. And not everyone has the money to buy whenever the price drops.

I believe all investors know that buying is the best investment strategy, especially when the market is falling. But you need to know that not everyone always has enough money in their bank account and can buy whenever the market goes down. Many people don't even have the money to buy now, let alone buy continuously if the market continues to decline and lasts until 2026.

Generic advice like “just keep buying or buy the every dip” sounds simple, but in reality, it's not simple at all and doesn't work for everyone. Everyone's financial situation is different, and it all depends on each individual.

As we approach the new year, know that there will be many bold predictions we will see on the internet both positive and negative ones. You might see people saying bitcoin will finally approach $500k next year or some might say bitcoin will drop drastically. But that might not even be really the case. Bitcoin might just move sideways. But still do not be easily swayed.

Those who have been paying attention to Bitcoin for quite some time, or those who have experienced the ups and downs of the market in recent years, should have that kind of experience. There will be many predictions we see, from those who make guesses carelessly, whether friends or influencers seeking attention. 
We just need to focus on what we believe in. We can look at speculative information, but we must digest it rationally.

[dezoel]

Before the year 2026 comes, there are many positive and negative predictions, right? That person said above $200K and another person also said bitcoin will fall below $50K these statements are from figures known in the media.
No strange this is just a prediction so feel free to say anything, as long as you don't believe too much then live with me because time will tell to see where the real bitcoin price is.

Yes mate. Although a prediction is also a type of statement but there must be no right or wrong prediction, since it is not guarantee. What can be offensive is the regular statement like someone will say that> Bitcoin is going do die next year because the super computers are now beginning to go live. Yet, it was only their opinion and we still can choose to not agree with it.

And then what they are saying is still not guarantee to occur. When it comes to prediction, each of us has their own side to believe but some are happy whatever side the price of BTC falls since they know how to take advantage of both.

You know that kind of situation where you make some list of things which you want to achieve in a particular year, but the year is already on its last phase of ending? Instead of starting to make new expectations, you just have to do your duty and fulfil that of last year. This is exactly what I'm expecting from Bitcoin next year: for it to at least reach the predicted $150k before we can start talking about a new phase.

[asriloni]

At this point i will ignore any future pump prediction comes for Bitcoin. Just look at the picture, anyone have different predictions for 2026. All of their predictions have very big gap compared to last year, which makes me think they have no conviction over the market, but rather than uncertainty.

Meanwhile, btc all time chart looks bearish, and there are many demand in the 70k -50k range. To expect market is always doing side ways is wrong. The side ways won't be last forever until someone with big bag offload his BTC then drive people to fear with the dump.

You are also welcome to speculate and make price predictions as long as you are willing to do so. It would be strange if no one speculated or made price predictions, and we would wonder where they had gone and whether they had really lost interest in the market.
Indirectly, you have already abandoned speculation by saying that it is impossible to move sideways.

It is very difficult to predict what the Bitcoin market will be like in 2026. Some are already saying that Bitcoin will be dumped a lot in 2026 and will fall between $50,000 and $60,000, while others are saying that Bitcoin will be between $150,000 and $200,000. Again, you are saying that it will go to $500,000, but these are all uncertain market predictions. However, in 2026, the Bitcoin market may come close to $150,000 to $170,000 and from there, the market may dump and go down. But whatever happens, you have to be brave in the market and move forward with courage.

Bitcoin is exceedingly volatile, to your surprise, Bitcoin might touch both high and low within 2026. We are never sure of what the market will look like in the future, some of our predictions on the market are based on how the market will benefit us. Those who want to take profits by next year, will speculate on the market to be bullish, while those waiting on dip to buy are also speculating for the market to drop heavily.

Understanding the market first of all is better than just jumping in, investors can go through however the market displays, we only have our sentiments of the market, and none of the sentiments are totally certain.

I don’t really care about the direction which bitcoin will be going by next year, am not a trader so am not going to be worried about that. I invest little amount which am making in bitcoin, since my target is to hold for a long term, so any direction that bitcoin goes, am fine with it. I want bitcoin price to pump by next year which I feel that’s what everyone wants, but we should know even if bitcoin price is going to pump by next year, we should expect a dump at some point, there is no way bitcoin will be pumping without a crash, and there is no way bitcoin price will be dumping without a pump, but any direction that bitcoin goes, we should be prepared for it.

Anyone saying Bitcoin will hit $500k this 2026 has no idea about the Bitcoin market.  $200k is very slim for BTC to hit this 2026 let alone this $500k.  There might be many speculation about Bitcoin reaching $200k+ next year, but I bet they have really no idea about the pattern of BTC.  They are just posting or publishing exaggerated prices to get attention.

But, regardless of the trend of BTC, I can say that it is always best to DCA, it will average itself if we do it regularly, and give us a good fortune after a halving or two.

The outcome of the market now is not such that will bother us again, it has reached the extent that we have now become use to the market and be okay with whatever outcome it comes out with. The market is looking to drop in the coming year as the bear market is now imminent than the market recovering back. If bitcoin is going to pump next year, then it will be a big surprise but since we’re used to the market unpredictability, it will not be much of a surprise anymore. Anything that would be the outcome of the market will probably be what we should accept and flow with.

Honestly, no one can say what the market will be like in 2026, everyone can only make predictions but these are all uncertain, we know that the Bitcoin market is unpredictable so anything can happen. But according to past history, the market may be down in 2026, but we cannot rely on the past, because nothing like the past has happened this year. However, you mentioned $500k which is very unlikely to happen, we may have to wait for a few more cycles to see $500k. I would not expect too much next year, I would expect to see a new ATH. However, do not invest based on such predictions, always invest with a long-term plan.

[Jostern]

There is nothing really special about you saying someone should prepare for 2026, you might not know what this things entails and there is nothing really special about entering new year, and it’s just like entering a new month, so this things doesn’t really matter.

All what you want to do is just buy bitcoin, you can’t definitely predict what the future and the market price of bitcoin would be, which is why you have to only stay focus on each and every day to try and stay consistent in buying bitcoin.

This is an exaggeration because you thought going from $87K to $500K this year would be easy and effortless? It's not realistic at all sometimes there are some crypto personalities who make exaggerated predictions maybe they want to get recognition from many people because he started thinking positively about the price of bitcoin.

But, regardless of the trend of BTC, I can say that it is always best to DCA, it will average itself if we do it regularly, and give us a good fortune after a halving or two.

It is better to do DCA than to continue to see a lot of unclear speculation, by continuing to accumulate then our focus will be there regardless of the wild predictions out there, just calmly continue DCA.

You say you don't care about the direction of bitcoin but want it to surge next year, your statement is clearly contradictory.

Frankly, it would be a lie to say that we don't care about bitcoin's volatility tomorrow or next year, including long term investors. Anyone who becomes an investor is more or less concerned about price, because it directly affects our psychology and financial plans.

However, I agree with you that we should prepare and have backup plans, because the market is very unpredictable.

Honestly long term investors will not mind about the direction or price level until there won't be no significant changes with the fundamentals. When you are a long term investor, all your concerns are about fundamental things and not about the current market state. So, this cannot be a lie in my opinion. Only traders and short term investors must keep checking about what is that price of today and where the market is heading. When you are confident about your won target in long term, I am sure you will never check the price level. Such kind of long term target would be possible only when you are confident about the fundamentals.

If you keep checking the price of bitcoin everyday, probably you will decide to exit when you are seeing 80% of downfall in a year. But, long term investors are not minding such bear markets because they know market will bounce back so they never minding about bull or bearish conditions.

The market and its movements are always unpredictable. Let those who say BTC will rise to $150,000, $200,000, or even more be our encouragement, and even a drop won't be a significant concern for those who have already made their biggest bet on BTC. Perhaps the most relevant thing right now is to wait for the 100,000 mark to be broken first, in the middle of this year, or perhaps even a little sooner.

I get what you’re trying to say.. A new year is basically just another day on the calendar Yes..  But for me, I still feel some kind of specialty around it, and I feel it is more personal..

For me, it is a time I naturally slow down, reflect on how the past year went, what I did right, what I messed up, and where I was not consistent... Then I try to work on things and scale things out and replan how I want the new year to look.. It is more like an accountability checkpoint for me..

It is not compulsory at all sha.. everyone can move the way they like. But I have noticed it helps me stay more intentional, even with Bitcoin and other investments.

People at all levels have become much more mature now. There is no possibility of Bitcoin falling too much at this time. If there is a situation where Bitcoin falls rapidly, then the number of buyers will increase because we will not expect such a fall which is very unlikely to happen. This may slow down the investment mentality among us. Because there are many who wait for deep purchases, if their guess is not good, then they will not get any opportunity to buy Bitcoin because it is not possible to implement it if they think irrationally. The demand for Bitcoin is increasing gradually, so you should remove yourself from expecting anything like that.

Generic advice like “just keep buying or buy the every dip” sounds simple, but in reality, it's not simple at all and doesn't work for everyone. Everyone's financial situation is different, and it all depends on each individual.

Not everyone is prepared when suddenly the price drops but if we see that the price has not been rising like now where bitcoin has been moving around $80k-$90k these past weeks then if we really want to grow our portfolio we should save up even at least the littlest amount and put it into bitcoin.

The advice of buying every dip despite all odds most of the time are targeted towards those who are so anxious when bitcoin isn’t “doing well” that they end up selling their money.
