Bitcoin this year has been relatively uneventful. Although it once surged to $125,000, setting a new all-time high, the yearly close still shows a slight decline. Throughout 2025, BTC has mainly oscillated around $100,000, with sideways consolidation appearing somewhat powerless—traditional assets like silver, gold, and the S&P 500 seem to perform better.
This is interesting. According to historical standards, everyone says 2025 is a bull year. But from a different perspective, this might not be a true bull market at all, but rather a bear market disguised as a bull. The real big move may still be ahead.
The key point lies in the condition of loose liquidity. If it persists, 2026 could become a historically significant rally. Instead of obsessing over the present, it's better to stay committed and continue accumulating. New highs will come, it's just a matter of time.

After such a long sideways movement, it's better to buy the dip and stockpile gold.

Damn, I can't handle this logic. If 2025 is just sideways trading, is it still considered a fake bull market? Then what does my holdings for this year count as?

It's been consolidating for so long, it really feels like it's accumulating energy.

Even after reaching 125,000, it still needs to pull back. This trick has indeed been overused.
---
Rather than watching this year's sideways movement, I'd rather bet on a big rally in 2026.
---
Liquidity hasn't dried up, so I'll keep stacking. Anyway, Bitcoin will eventually hit new highs again.

Traditional assets are more aggressive than BTC, which is a bit of a blow, but I still believe in a loose cycle.

Been in consolidation for so long, I'm about to fall asleep. Maybe I'll wait until 2026.

Wow, after such a long consolidation, there are still people calling for a bull market? I think it's just false hype.
The real show is still to come; 2026 is the main event.
Keep bottom-fishing, it's that simple.

I've been consolidating for so long, I'm really a bit annoyed. I should have just gone all in on gold instead.

It's been consolidating for so long; it was about time for a shakeout. Just waiting for the epic market in 2026.

A bear market wearing a bull market skin haha, that metaphor is perfect
2026 is the real showdown, so just hold on
Seeing the S&P rise so sharply, the sideways movement of BTC is indeed a bit uncomfortable
Loose liquidity is the key, this logic holds up
Instead of watching K-line charts every day, it's better to just accumulate with eyes closed
Already touched 125,000, breaking new highs is just a matter of time
It's true that it underperforms traditional assets, but we all know the multiplication effect in the crypto world
Is the bull market fake? Then I’ll just take it as time being polished away
