There's something building beneath the surface. If the macro environment holds and adoption keeps accelerating, 2026 could deliver one of the most explosive bull runs crypto's ever seen. The halvening cycles, institutional inflows, and Bitcoin dominance patterns suggest we're stacking up the conditions for it. Whether it plays out depends on Fed policy and whether retail finally FOMO's back in, but the setup looks different this time.

NGL, the script for 2026 feels a bit familiar. Every cycle says this time is different... but I still have to admit, institutional entry is indeed more aggressive than before.

This wave in 2026 is truly different. Institutions are bottom-fishing, the halving cycle, Fed policies... all the conditions are aligned. Now it's just waiting for retail to come back and take the bait.

ngl 2026 sounds a bit too optimistic, but the fundamentals this time are indeed different... halving + institutions are really throwing money in, I believe.

Will 2026 really see a breakout? I think it still depends on the Fed's mood and whether retail investors can go crazy... This time, it genuinely feels different.

Wait, you said 2026 will be a crash? I feel like someone says that every year.

Ha Ren is starting to make up stories again, an explosive bull market in 2026? Just listen and forget it.

If the 2026 market wave really arrives, it will depend on whether the Federal Reserve buys into this... However, the continuous institutional entry does suggest something.
