Many people are asking how BTC will perform in 2026. Based on historical patterns, it usually takes 12 to 18 months after a halving for a significant rally to occur, and this time should be no exception.

More importantly, institutions are continuously entering the market through ETFs, and the pressure of fiat currency devaluation has persisted over the past few years. These factors all support the long-term demand for Bitcoin.

My personal view is relatively optimistic. Conservatively, BTC could be in the range of 😆 to 😆 USD; if we follow more mainstream expectations, 150,000 to 180,000 USD is also possible.

So my strategy is simple — buy in batches, then wait. As long as you believe in this logic, just HODL.

Entering in batches is indeed a prudent approach; I'm just worried about another black swan event hitting us again.

The halving cycle has become a bit cliché, but the fact that institutions keep accumulating is indeed a new variable. Gradual entry? I think that's fine. Anyway, those who don't buy in now will regret it in two years. $150,000? Let's be conservative, or maybe aim for $200,000. Just wait, there's no other way anyway.

Wait, is it true that institutions are rushing in? It doesn't seem very convincing to me. --- Gradually entering sounds good, but it's still high now. Wait for a dip before considering. --- Is the 12 to 18 months pattern reliable? It feels like someone mentions this every round. --- $150,000 is a bit optimistic, I still conservatively estimate around $90,000. --- Fiat currency devaluation supports demand. I agree with this logic, but it depends on how the central bank plays it. --- HODL is fun, but I'm worried it might just be paper wealth again haha. --- Can ETF inflow data prove anything? I feel like it's all just hype.

Wait, only taking off 12-18 months after the halving? Then isn't entering now just getting cut? --- Institutions entering the ETF market are indeed solid, fiat currency depreciation is also a long-term positive, but is $150,000 a bit optimistic? --- Gradually entering the market is a safe move, but the real test is whether people dare to add positions during the downturn. --- I believe in $90,000 to $120,000, but the expectations above that are probably a bit wishful thinking. --- HODL is easy to say, but when it actually drops 30%, that's when you see people's true character. --- The detail of ETFs continuously entering the market is good; it has indeed changed the market structure. --- Waiting half a year to two years can indeed be profitable, but the question is how many people can really stick to it. --- That $150,000 expectation... brother, are you writing a novel? --- The logic itself isn't wrong, but the market never plays by historical rules. --- Gradual entry is effective, but it depends on how you set your stop-loss.

Wait, after the halving, it takes 12-18 months to rise? So is it a bit early to enter now? Staggered entry is indeed a safe move, but 150,000-180,000 is a bit bold to say haha Institutional entry is real, ETF is definitely accumulating Conservatively, I believe in 90,000-120,000, the rest depends on luck Anyway, I trust the long-term logic of BTC, just buy quietly Will this cycle also get slapped in the face? Let's just take a gamble Is the halving pattern reliable, or are we just applying past experience? Fiat devaluation is unavoidable, someone has to want Bitcoin Just do it, HODL is the way to go

Staggered deployment, holding firmly without letting go, this logic makes sense.

Wait, 12 to 18 months? Are we a bit early to enter now, or is this the best loading period? I've heard the halving cycle logic many times, just worried that this time the market might come up with some tricks again. Institutional ETF continuous entry is indeed solid, and the pressure of fiat currency devaluation is also very real, but it feels like the expected range of 90,000 to 180,000 is a bit too wide. Who knows if there will be a sudden burn-out in the middle? HODL is HODL, but the key is how to pace the staggered entry. This task sounds simple but is actually a torment to execute. Only above 150,000 is considered worth the wait. Let's blast off into space together, everyone!
