Mow Sees 10-Year Bitcoin Bull Market Beginning After 2025’s Muted Performance Below $90,000 ⋆ ZyCrypto

Bitcoin maximalist and CEO of JAN3, Samson Mow, recently said that 2025 was a bearish year and that a major 10-year bull market is now expected to begin. Even though Bitcoin recorded a new All-Time High (ATH) of $126k just a few months ago, the overall market sentiment for the outgoing calendar year has been negative, especially at close. Still, now there is an opening for a major long-term bull run, Mow argues.

Mow retweeted PlanC’s post on X (formerly Twitter) with the following caption:

The graph shows that, based on Bitcoin’s yearly market activity, the premier cryptocurrency is ending the calendar year slightly below its starting point above $93k on January 1. While the net loss is less than 8% based on the latest price index of $87.5k, we still have a few more days until year-end. The current trend is suggesting a largely muted end to the proceedings, and these losses are likely to hold. 

Here is Bitcoin’s graph for 2025:

All in all, 2025 was a year to forget for the bullish forces, as not only did BTC fail to deliver on its promise, but conventional commodities like Gold, Silver, and other precious metals had a field day, gaining more than 100% in value. The subdued price action casts doubts on Bitcoin’s status as a safe haven, and that isn’t sitting well with investors.

Mow Unfazed by 2025 Bear Market

A growing number of Bitcoin proponents, including Mow and PlanC are looking forward to 2026 with increased optimism. Mow especially anticipates a decade-long bull market ahead for the cryptocurrency.

However, analysts remain divided on the immediate outlook for the crypto market. The lack of an altseason has also cast doubts about the 4-year cycle, leading to predictions that the cyclic trend has officially ended. 

Several possibilities are being considered, ranging from a complete bullish flip to a bull trap around the $ 110–$115k valuation. There are also estimations from seasoned investors like Ali that at one point in 2026, BTC will fall to $60k or lower to form a bottom. 

The start of 2026 will tell us more about market intentions, as bulls have a major opportunity to set the pace for the rest of the year. However, the bears will be looking to tighten their grip on the proceedings and keep the index below $90k during this time.
