Recently, interesting divergence phenomena have appeared in the market. Bitcoin has entered 2026 with a clear rebound trend, and the market structure is becoming increasingly clear. In contrast, global stock markets are experiencing frequent fluctuations under macro pressures. This situation is somewhat similar to the mid-2025 scenario—when cryptocurrencies underwent a deep correction, popular concepts like AI supported the resilience of US stocks, leading to capital outflows; now, the trend has reversed, and a large amount of capital is re-evaluating the crypto space.



Why are everyone’s eyes now on Bitcoin? Data speaks for itself. Looking back over the past two years, Bitcoin's performance has indeed attracted attention: starting around $40,000 in 2024, it surged to nearly $126,000 in 2025, an increase of nearly 3 times. Entering 2026, market sentiment remains optimistic. Many top research institutions in the industry are optimistic about its future performance, believing that with continuous institutional funding support, Bitcoin is expected to outperform stock indices and gold. Some more aggressive views even predict that in this cycle, it could surge to $150,000 or even $250,000.

Institutional movements often reflect the true market trend. Last year, the crypto sector absorbed about $130 billion in funds, setting a new record, and this momentum is expected to continue this year. Signals are also being sent: the US spot Bitcoin ETF reversed the previous outflow trend at the end of last year and has seen net inflows again since the beginning of this year. Meanwhile, traditional financial institutions on Wall Street are also taking action, planning to further open more crypto investment channels in early 2026.
