The current cryptocurrency market is in an accumulation/bear market bottom or mid-term correction phase

BTC has retraced ~50% from its October 2025 high (~$126k). Sentiment is extremely pessimistic, similar to historical bottom areas.
The peak of the bull market after the 2024 halving has passed, and we are currently in the bear market/correction phase of the 4-year cycle. The retracement depth and low AHR999 (~0.33, bottom-fishing zone) indicate attractive valuations, but it may revisit the $40-50k bottom (similar to history). Institutional/ETF demand may make this cycle shallower and shorter.
Is it worth buying?
- Long-term (1-3 years): Worth allocating in batches/DCA. Historical accumulation at lows has high returns, supported by stablecoins (USDC circulation ~73B+), institutional adoption, and regulatory improvements. Suitable for those who believe in crypto's long-term value.
- Short-term: High risk, still may oscillate/further decline. Suitable for high-risk tolerance, small position deployment; conservative investors wait for clearer bottom signals
Summary: The market offers attractive valuations in "fear," a window for long-term positioning, but with high volatility, requiring patience + risk management. Crypto remains a high-risk asset, DYOR! 🚀
