2025 wasn’t the alt season everyone expected.
When a narrative becomes too obvious, the market flips and retail got chopped.
Will 2026 be a classic bear like 2014/2018/2022?
My take: probably not, but nothing is guaranteed.
Let's break it down
Macro slowed everything: high rates, sticky inflation, geopolitics, Japan’s moves, Trump’s chaos tweets.
Uncertainty killed momentum
Crypto is a desert right now
Fear & greed low
TGEs paused, projects waiting
Meta = Stables Low-risk farming + Airdrop Yield farming LP on L1 & L2
Institutions are positioning.
Weak projects dying.
Sentiment, not news sets tops & bottoms.
When everyone’s scared and bored but fundamentals stay strong, the real accumulation starts.
I think we will have min 1 to 3 months of real opportunities
Stay defensive, patient and alive.
When the market wakes up again, the ones who stayed prepared will dominate.
