🧠 2026 Market Outlook — Reality Check
If BTC follows the 4-year cycle, 2026 = historical bear year
(2014 • 2018 • 2022)
What that implies:
Extended distribution & lower highs
Rallies = counter-trend moves
Volatility without real expansion
This is a SURVIVAL year, not a moon year.
Trade small.
Take 10–30% gains.
No x5 / fantasies.
Preserve capital now → deploy big near end-2026.
