The US dollar continues to depreciate, and gold is defying the trend and strengthening—on the surface, 2026 should be a bull market. However, major technical indicators for BTC are signaling the opposite.
These types of indicators never lie. Looking back at the market from late 2021 to early 2022: after BTC surged to a historical high of 69,000, the market was still oscillating above 50,000, and many investors still hoped for a continued bull run. But the turning point came very quickly—geopolitical tensions suddenly escalated in February, and the market rapidly entered a main downtrend. You’ve seen the subsequent movements: sharp declines, rebounds back to 0.618, another sharp decline, and then a rebound confirming 0.618. The entire process seems like a precisely scripted plan.
Interestingly, why did these key variables happen to appear at that specific time? It’s not a coincidence. The four-year bull-bear cycle had already marked 2022 as a global bear market. The monthly death cross was formed as early as November 2021, and the overall trend was already very clear.
So the current dilemma is: many negative factors are still in the潜伏期, not fully recognized by the market. Don’t overestimate the situation just because of a short-term rebound. Instead of blindly chasing gains, it’s better to admit—current characteristics are indeed bearish (based on the trend pattern), and a more conservative approach can help you survive longer. This is much more reliable than reckless actions.

The monthly death cross is really deadly; it was a foreshadowing buried in 2021 and only exploded in 2022.
Here's another one optimistic about 2026. What's different this time?
Short-term rebounds can easily lead to complacency, and retail investors fear this the most.
In a bear market, staying alive is much more important than making money, truly.

It's already time to sell when the monthly death cross occurs. It's really ridiculous to still be dreaming of a bull market now.

The monthly death cross is obvious. Are you still dreaming of a bull market? One short-term rebound isn't enough to fool you.

The monthly death cross really doesn't lie; that's how I got cut last time.
The technical indicators are deadly, don't be fooled by the rebound.
You're right, a bear market is a bear market. Stop hyping up a bull market in 2026.
The bearish factors are still lurking; that's the most painful part.
It's better to stay alive than chase gains; I agree with this view.
