• Popular crypto trader turns bullish for 2026.

• After months of bearish calls on Bitcoin, 2026 is expected to become highly bullish.

• The analyst expects a 180-degree reversal for BTC with parabolic price pumps ahead.

The final quarter of 2025 seems to be hitting its close without much flair. This phase was meant to bring both a new ATH for BTC and a bullish altseason phase. However, after the October 10 $2 billion liquidation event, the prices of BTC, ETH, and altcoins took a massive fall, leading to bear market calls. Now, a popular crypto trader turns bullish for 2026 after months of bearish calls on Bitcoin.

Popular Crypto Trader Turns Bullish for 2026

The final months of 2025, marked popular analysts turning completely bearish on BTC. These analysts include Doctor Profit and James Wynn. Both these traders are known for their massive followings and accurate market and price predictions. While the former has been bearish since August and continues to remain bearish for the foreseeable future with his strong bear market expectations, James Wynn seems to have changed his tune.

I just came out of an early meeting with a mentor and extremely wealthy individual (multi billionaire on paper in assets across the board including a giga $BTC whale).

We both agreed that people are not ready for the Bitcoin to pull a vertical 180 reversal.

Over the past few days, James Wynn has turned bullish for 2026. This resulted in an enthusiastic reaction from the greater crypto community of the social platform X, formerly known as Twitter. As we can see from the post above, this trader reveals that he expects a fast, quick and explosive, almost 180-degree reversal on the BTC price momentum, meaning parabolic BTC price pumps in 2026.

This is the bull case for Bitcoin for 2026.

1. Christmas setting a bear trap, which is being reversed in January like in the last 4 years.
2. Invalidation of the 4-year cycle by not having 3 green candles in a row.
3. Bitcoin Spot ETF outflows going towards 0.

Similarly, another popular crypto trader believes that a bull case is unfolding for Bitcoin (BTC) for 2026. The post above goes on to share price charts and concludes that Christmas time has set up a bear trap, which is being reversed in January like in the last 4 years. This, he concldues is the bull case for the pioneer crypto asset. Additionally, he states that invalidation of the 4-year cycle has occured by not having 3 green candles in a row.

What’s more, the Bitcoin Spot ETF outflows have gone towards 0, not ot mention Bitcoin just hit its fifth golden cross, which has led to an 61.25% pump on average afterwards. Thus, while gold and stock markets are currently hitting new highs, Bitcoin is showing highly unusual relative weakness. Historically, such a decoupling is often a harbinger of reversal.

However, the analysts conclude that the current phase of extreme fear surrounding BTC stands in stark contrast to the optimism in other asset classes. This isn’t a guarantee for Bitcoin to go back to ATHs, but it’s a strong signal. A response to the post calls this an excellent breakdown of the multi-factor bull thesis, marking how the bear trap narrative combined with ETF outflows suggests strong hands accumulating while weak hands panic-sold.
