Here are some key milestones for the market in the first half of 2026:

In January, sentiment begins to recover, and the bullish pattern is initially confirmed. February is the showcase for BTC, with mainstream funds returning and following the main trend. By March, altcoins start to stir collectively, signaling full activity.

But be cautious in April, as risks accumulate unnoticed while prices hover at high levels. May requires even more vigilance—this is often a trap set by the bulls, with volatility sharply amplifying, and it's easy to get caught off guard. By June, the market begins to de-leverage, and enthusiasm gradually cools down.

This is just an assessment of the market rhythm, not a call for specific trades. Compare it after half a year; time will tell.

May was really a trap, I stepped into it last year and got liquidated after a wave. --- Just listen to this rhythm analysis; when April was sideways, there were definitely people pushing high, but no one can see the risk accumulating. --- Compare it after half a year; betting on May was indeed restless. --- I feel a bit optimistic about the February BTC showcase, will mainstream funds really come in obediently? --- The most vulnerable time for altcoins to be cut is during the frenzy stage, he’s right about that. --- I agree with deleveraging in June; it will definitely be a wave of cleansing. --- Just take it as a story; time will tell, as they always say haha.

honestly the may trap thing tracks... seen this pattern play out before with leverage unwinding. technically speaking tho, your timeline's got some assumptions baked in that don't have much cryptographic guarantee, if you know what i mean. april consolidation risk is real enough but the "predictable" part? that's where it gets fuzzy for me ngl

I’ve been through that pit in May, and it was damn real.

May's trap was really the worst; I got caught last time at this point. --- April's sideways trading was the most painful, feeling like nothing was moving, and then it all disappeared in one wave. --- Wait, isn't this logic the same as last year? Is history repeating itself so accurately? --- When de-leveraging in June, never chase; lessons learned the hard way. --- I just want to know how high the copycat coins can go in March; I'm fully prepared. --- Another half-year review post, someone will definitely say "I made this move based on this point." --- I believe in the February BTC showcase; the return of mainstream funds is a signal. --- Sounds good, but it all depends on policies and macro factors; timing and such are irrelevant. --- January's recovery is no problem; I can feel it now, the atmosphere is definitely different. --- Every time, people say May is a trap, but some still get wiped out; the chives are never too many.
