Crypto Markets Rallying to End 2025 Would Have Been a Risk for 2026

admin

Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan is more confident that crypto markets will boom in 2026, particularly as there hasn’t been a late-2025 rally yet. Speaking to Cointelegraph at The Bridge conference in New York City on Wednesday, Hougan said a crypto market rally at the end of 2025 would have fit the four-year cycle thesis, meaning 2026 would mark the start of a bear market, similar to 2022 and 2018. When asked to revise his prediction about whether the crypto market will boom in 2026, Hougan said: “I’m actually…

admin

Bitcoin is at risk of breaking a crucial support price level as US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs have continued to bleed red after the recent crypto market crash, according to analysts from Bitfinex.  “The lack of institutional accumulation has made the $107,000 to $108,000 zone increasingly difficult to defend as support,” Bitfinex analysts said in a report on Tuesday, noting significant net outflows after US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement earlier this month. Between Oct. 13 and Oct. 17, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw around $1.23 billion in net outflows, according…
