The market is still alive; the sideways movement in 2025 is not the end but a buildup.

2024 completed its expansion cycle, and this year's volatility is essentially a reshuffling of chips and confidence. Don't be fooled by a few months of fluctuations—before a real bull market crash, there will definitely be nationwide celebrations, a surge in copycat projects, and price peaks. Right now, the market is filled only with anxiety and hesitation. This precisely indicates that the big show has not yet begun.

Retail investors have not entered on a large scale, institutions are quietly positioning themselves, and liquidity and interest rate environments are gradually improving. By 2026, these conditions will be pushed to new heights. The fundamentals of the Bitcoin ecosystem and mainstream cryptocurrencies have not deteriorated; they are just digesting previous gains. The true major upward wave will not start in such an anxious environment; it will suddenly erupt after despair and numbness.

If you don't want to be left behind before dawn, you must endure this most difficult sideways period.

Keep going, anyway you've made it this far, these few months don't matter Institutions are accumulating, retail investors are panicking, this is almost the best signal There must be anxiety before despair, and now is that stage Wait, the darkest before dawn is the hardest to endure... but also the most profitable This round of sideways movement looks boring, but it's actually telling a story The phase of chip consolidation is the most painful, but also the best at screening people Don't be fooled by the current calm, 2026 is when it truly begins A market filled with anxiety actually indicates that opportunities are still alive Digesting the gains will take at least a year or two Those still on the sidelines now will really regret it when the time comes

Stay strong, anyway these few months don't matter much. It's all about who can hold on until 2026.

This sideways trading period is indeed tough, but as long as the fundamentals haven't collapsed, there's still hope. That's right, the celebration hasn't started yet; now it's a battle of mentality. Hang in there, since we've already persisted until now, a few more months won't make a difference. Institutions are quietly accumulating; as ordinary people, we should just hold our chips steadily. Despair is often the best opportunity, and this time should be no exception. Instead of getting anxious over K-line charts, better to get a good sleep and wait for 2026.

Keep going, anyway you've made it this far, a few more months won't make a difference. --- That's right, I'm just worried my mindset will collapse first. --- The darkest before dawn, I've heard this phrase too many times... but it seems to be true every time. --- Being in a sideways market for so long is really torturous, but looking at the fundamentals, there are no real issues. --- The problem is retail investors simply can't hold on that long; they've already cut their holdings. --- Institutions are positioning while retail is clearing out, the story is cliché but effective. --- Talking about 2026 now is a bit too far ahead, who knows. --- After despair and numbness... yes, waiting for that moment. --- Being left behind is really terrifying, but you can't go all in either. --- Instead of accumulating, it's better to be straightforward and say it's a shakeout; you need to scare the chives out.
