The crypto market does not appear to be in a bear market right now. Bitcoin is trading in the $95,000–$97,000 range (recent highs near ~$97,800–$98,000 earlier this month), well above its 2025 lows but below some late-2025 peaks around $126,000. The broader market shows consolidation with mild corrections, institutional inflows (e.g., ETFs), and optimism around adoption/regulatory clarity — more aligned with a neutral-to-bullish or post-peak consolidation phase than a full bear. Many analysts expect potential upside in 2026 (targets $120k–$200k+ for $BTC ), though volatility and pullbacks remain possible.
In crypto, bear markets ("winters") are brutal but temporary — every major one has eventually given way to a new bull cycle with higher highs. Strategies like dollar-cost averaging (DCA), avoiding leverage in downtrends, and focusing on fundamentals help many investors weather them.#Bullmarket #BTC100kNext?
