Predict Bitcoin’s Big Moves in 2026

Gold and Bitcoin usually move in tandem, but this trend has notably shifted over the last two years. According to BlackRock’s CEO, Bitcoin is considered a “risk-pricing” asset – as risk ascends, commodities rise, but Bitcoin falters, similarly failing in times of inflation. This introduces an intriguing juxtaposition in the financial markets, portraying Bitcoin as a volatile yet absorbing investment choice in different economic scenarios.

Bitcoin’s Projected 2026 Bottom

While the scarcity narrative is driving a rally in silver and gold today, Bitcoin remains weak despite institutional interest. For years, it was believed that Bitcoin’s supply would inevitably surpass demand following halving events. After 2021, strong demand from ETFs and treasury companies was expected to push Bitcoin to new peaks in a weakening dollar environment.

Large corporations and ETFs now hold significantly more Bitcoin than exchanges do. Strategy alone holds over 700,000 out of a maximum supply of 21 million, with a substantial portion of Bitcoin irretrievably lost – from Satoshi’s own holdings to forgotten wallets.

Failing to protect against inflation, Bitcoin is now languishing even as the Fed gradually lowers rates in a risk-laden environment. Geopolitical tensions subside, tariff wars begin, and each development pulls Bitcoin downward. Perhaps the historical data suggesting a decline in 2026 will come true – only time will tell.

An analyst under the pseudonym CryptoCon shared a chart showing pockets of intense liquidity closely aligned with Bear Bands. The chart indicates potential first dip and cycle bottom levels for Bitcoin.

The initial dip is likely between $69,000 and $74,000, with the cycle bottom between $27,000 and $32,000. Since 2022, when the previous peak’s support rule was violated, deeper troughs below $69,000 are being anticipated by analysts. Roman Trading is more lenient, predicting the cycle bottom around $56,000.

What if Stocks Decline?

Roman Trading highlighted this issue recently, as did Bob Loukas. Stocks neared their peak but have ceased their ascent. Gold continues to rise while stocks face the threat of initiating a major downward trend. While rising, BTC did not meet expectations and fell when stocks decreased. What if the decline accelerates? Roman Trading suggests starting at $56,000.

Bob commented, “Sentiment hit zero in November, and it’s week 10 for Bitcoin post-bottom. In a bull market, this was a BTD event, and it would be pulling ATHs like stocks now. Reaction remains weak and disconnected from gold’s performance. Should stocks surpass ATHs, this chart may excite bulls. If stocks don’t manage to do this…”

Betting Big on AI Burns Through Cash Cows—This Time, the Market No Longer "Rewards Burning Money"!

The AI spending race faces profitability scrutiny: Google’s search advertising growth rate has dropped to its lowest in five quarters, and Amazon’s single-quarter free cash flow has plunged to -$33.5 billion. Yet both companies continue with capital expenditure plans exceeding $400 billion. As their core cash-generating businesses lose momentum and debt and financing needs surge, the market is shifting from rewarding AI investment to questioning returns, forcing a re-evaluation of the valuation logic for tech giants.

Wall Street Sees AWS’s Ambition, But Can’t See the Future of Amazon’s Advertising Business

Amazon's Q3 financial report presents a mixed picture: AWS order backlog soared by 189% to $578 billion, and the CEO made the rare promise that growth will exceed 40% in 2027-2028, aiming for $1 trillion in revenue within five to ten years. However, advertising business growth plunged from 26% to 12%, and capital expenditure reached $77.3 billion, far exceeding expectations, causing the stock price to fall 7% after hours. While major Wall Street banks collectively maintain their “buy” ratings, they admit that the structural risks posed by AI agents to the advertising ecosystem remain unresolved.
