#数字资产行情上升 2026 marks the beginning of the year, and Bitcoin has completed a round of structural clearing amid market depth adjustments.



$BTC $ETH

The deleveraging process at the end of last year thoroughly washed out the weak hands' positions accumulated in the market. The current market structure shows obvious changes—

**Several key signals worth noting:**

Institutional-level ETF funds are steadily flowing in, with major players not fleeing; futures trading activity is gradually recovering, and veteran traders are starting to reposition; the options market sentiment has clearly shifted to bullish expectations, with implied volatility pushed to low levels, which often indicates market anticipation of upcoming moves; traders are increasing short Gamma positions at high strike prices, with a clear logic behind it—they are betting on volatility expansion.

Putting these details together, the implication is: the market's defensive stance is shifting to an offensive mode.

Although the current accumulation pace isn't very aggressive, from a fundamental perspective, the bottom structure is already solid enough. Compared to the confusion at the beginning of the year, the upside potential and clarity of expectations have improved significantly.

With this start in 2026, the overall pattern is relatively stable. What do you think about the potential upside of this rebound?

Yeah, this round of cleanup was really fierce. All the weak hands have been washed out, and those currently holding positions are all genuine money players.

Institutions are quietly accumulating, and this round of cleansing has been effective. The bottom structure is impeccable.

You're starting to make promises again; I heard this same spiel last year.

Experienced players are indeed taking action; the key is that institutions haven't run away.

Another story of a "solid bottom structure." We said this at the end of last year, and we're still saying it now. It's a cycle.

Honestly, those entering the market now are large funds with patience; retail investors have long been scared off by the washout.

Hmm, this round of shakeout has indeed cleared out many retail investors. Now is the time for institutions to quietly position themselves and gradually turn bullish.

Institutions are entering, veterans are positioning, and volatility is brewing... After this combination of tactics, it definitely feels different. But as for the upward potential, it still depends on whether we can break through that psychological barrier.

Deleveraging and shakeouts have indeed cleared out a group of people, but I am still observing the true actions of the institutions. Looking at ETF inflows alone is not enough; we need to see if they are really stacking coins on the chain.
