2026: The Final Stop Before the Big Turnaround? Analysts are characterizing the first quarter of 2026 as a "maturation phase of the bear market"—a definitive period for seeking a true market bottom. For Bitcoin, the $60,000 level has emerged as more than just technical support; it has become a formidable psychological barrier, reinforced by institutional entry points and miner production costs. The Purge of "Weak Hands" The elimination of over-leveraged positions and "weak hands" prone to panic selling is viewed as a mandatory precursor to a healthy bull run. The current stagnation is, in fact, the market’s process of detoxifying itself from these fragile structures. Regulation and the Bull Catalyst Comprehensive legislative frameworks, most notably the CLARITY Act, are expected to take full effect in the second half of 2026. As legal certainty solidifies: The entry of major pension funds and insurance giants into the market will accelerate. Retail investors’ "trust deficit" will be bridged by institutional-grade safeguards. Anticipated "strategic reserve" initiatives following the success of Bitcoin ETFs will likely act as the final trigger for the market. Spotlight: The era of strategic accumulation—driven by discipline rather than emotion—has officially begun. 2026 is poised to go down in history as "the year of those who recognized the opportunity."

2026: The Final Stop Before the Big Turnaround?
Analysts are characterizing the first quarter of 2026 as a "maturation phase of the bear market"—a definitive period for seeking a true market bottom. For Bitcoin, the $60,000 level has emerged as more than just technical support; it has become a formidable psychological barrier, reinforced by institutional entry points and miner production costs.
The Purge of "Weak Hands"
The elimination of over-leveraged positions and "weak hands" prone to panic selling is viewed as a mandatory precursor to a healthy bull run. The current stagnation is, in fact, the market’s process of detoxifying itself from these fragile structures.
Regulation and the Bull Catalyst
Comprehensive legislative frameworks, most notably the CLARITY Act, are expected to take full effect in the second half of 2026. As legal certainty solidifies:
The entry of major pension funds and insurance giants into the market will accelerate.
Retail investors’ "trust deficit" will be bridged by institutional-grade safeguards.
Anticipated "strategic reserve" initiatives following the success of Bitcoin ETFs will likely act as the final trigger for the market.
