Will Bitcoin really surge in 2026? Industry insiders suddenly change their tune

Recently, a senior executive at BlackRock made a statement on TV: Bitcoin is still in its early stages. This immediately stirred the entire market—many people are asking, where is the bullish market predicted for 2026?

An observer with years of market analysis experience, Stacy Muur, shared his opinion, believing that before a major rally, there will be a period of "tough" times. In his words, it's like an old ox pulling a cart; the price will fluctuate within a range, moving sideways. It sounds uncomfortable, but actually, it's a good sign.

Why do I say that? Looking back at history makes it clear. After the last two Bitcoin halvings, the market experienced the same—months of dullness, followed by a sudden explosion. The current situation is very similar. On-chain data shows that the proportion of institutional investors' holdings has quietly surpassed 40%. Every price fluctuation is actually an opportunity for big players to accumulate at low levels.

Looking at it from another angle: bull markets never arrive exactly on time. The real opportunities often appear when most people have the least patience. Where might the next trigger come from? Is it the entry of institutional funds, or a shift in global central bank policies? These are worth pondering.

What do you think? Do you have any thoughts on next year's market?
