November 2025 looks like it could be a rough month for Bitcoin, possibly the worst since 2018... just what we needed, right? Some are already saying this hints at an upcoming bear market. Feels weird to see November act like this when we expect the usual year-end green.

True, but let’s be cautious here. Just because it’s rough now doesn’t mean 2026 has to mirror that. Bad times could offer great buying opportunities for many, so I’m not too worried. If it dips, I might just buy more.

Exactly! I think the pessimists are just being dramatic. Us real bulls? We just want some action. But honestly, we need liquidity to flow in first. Fingers crossed on that news about a pro-crypto Fed chair... might be wishful thinking, though.

I’m holding onto hope for 2026. Like, I get the cycles, but something tells me we might see a turnaround post-spring. Just a gut feeling based on past patterns. Gotta wait and see.

Why is everyone so obsessed with 2026? Let’s focus on 2025 first. Maybe start a new thread about where Bitcoin will settle over 107k?

I see what you’re saying. But the price has been fluctuating enough... Investors are eager for a dip to grab more coins. Others predict a bullish comeback as well. Doesn’t matter too much to me, though. I’ll profit whether it goes up or down.

Best advice? Build up that Bitcoin stash. Speculation is cool, but it’s no substitute for solid strategy. Just because November was rough doesn’t mean 2026 automatically will be, right? History doesn’t always dictate the future.

A lot of predictions come from people eyeing the current market. Just cause it’s bearish now doesn’t mean it’ll stay grim. Wars and external factors play a big role, and I think we’ve had enough bearishness already.

Honestly, if you’re in for the long haul, now's a good time to gather coins. Everyone’s got their own approach, though. Personally, I’m holding off buying right now to build an emergency fund instead.

Cautious optimism here... not trusting anyone’s analysis completely. Speculation is tricky. So many people lean on hope, but too much hope can lead to risky decisions. Don’t get too carried away.

So what, we just keep stacking sats? History suggests 2026 might be bearish, though. But maybe long-term holders are already set... adjusting strategies now and focusing on accumulation.

Market’s divided for sure. Some folks want those lower prices, while others are eyeing profits. Both sides have solid reasoning. Just makes sense to stick to a plan no matter what.

You ready for bear territory? It’s normal for down markets to open buying opportunities, but who knows how low it’ll go. It’s so unpredictable.

Right on... it’s about consistently being strategic. Down now could mean good buys later. If you’re holding strong through the chaos, you’ll be Favored when prices rise.

Cycle seems steady most times. But this drop? Could spell bad news for next year. If we follow the pattern after a bull run, bear markets should kick in eventually.

I’ve seen it before. 2026 isn’t gonna be green at all. Halving last year means we won’t be hitting highs until 2028. Honestly expecting a bear year after the initial downturn.

Stop worrying about tomorrow’s price. Go with the flow and buy low when you can. Seems like a smarter investment strategy.

Yeah, but look back a year. BTC was under that 200-week average regularly. Now? It’s positive, but we gotta see those averages align for a real breakout.

But what does ‘green’ even mean? Higher lows, higher highs... I bet 2026 will do better than 2025 in the end. Gold and silver are up, Bitcoin follows.

Hard to pin down if 2026 will be bullish. Conditions might be rough or similar to now. Just keep it realistic and always set aside an emergency fund.
