I've been wondering lately when the prices in the cryptocurrency market will really start to move. Many indicators suggest that a crypto bull run could gain real momentum in the first half of 2026, especially in Q1 (January-March). Several serious voices from the market, including macroeconomist Raoul Pal, point to this period as the time when conditions might change — specifically, improved liquidity and easing of monetary policy. Interestingly, when it comes to when the bull run will truly kick off, some analysts mention a peak occurring somewhere in mid-2026. This makes sense considering historical patterns — Bitcoin's halving in April 2024 traditionally suggests that major price movements may occur about 12-18 months later. This timing fits perfectly with the window we're observing now. Of course, the crypto bull run won't be uniform across all assets. Bitcoin may be the one to lead, while altcoins will behave differently depending on liquidity and how quickly they are adopted. I've already seen discussions about some coins potentially having a delayed growth story. As for what could drive growth in 2026, it involves further interest rate cuts, clearer regulatory frameworks, increased institutional involvement, and new narratives — tokenization and AI projects in crypto seem to be at the center of attention. Currently, BTC is trading around 81.4k USD (+0.03%), SOL at 88 USD (+3.04%), and ETH at 2.36k USD (-1.41%). Many industry insiders expect the next significant bull run to truly gain strength around the turn of the first and second halves of 2026, but of course, everything depends on how the fundamentals and market conditions actually develop. Volatility will be key here.

$BTC breaking $81K while dominance pushes higher tells you where capital is still flowing. but the more interesting shift is happening underneath. altcoins are no longer in free fall, more are reclaiming their 200D, and their share of trading volume is quietly increasing. it’s not rotation yet, but it’s no longer pure BTC-only conditions either. typically how transitions begin, strength at the top first, stabilization below, then broader expansion if momentum holds.

#比特币站稳8万关口 8万-below Bitcoin is now history. In the next period of time, it definitely won’t be going down. Looking long-term, Bitcoin below 8万 can still be expected to be seen. Don’t rush to short—right now, it’s a bull market.
