PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to a recent report from Grayscale, Bitcoin's 32% pullback since early October is in line with historical averages, marking the ninth significant pullback in the current bull market. Grayscale believes that Bitcoin may not enter a deep cyclical downtrend, predicting its price could reach new highs next year, and questions the applicability of the four-year cycle theory. The report points out that this bull market has not seen the parabolic rise of past cycles, and the market structure has also changed. Funds are mainly flowing in through exchange-traded products (ETPs) and digital asset vaults (DATs), rather than retail trading. Furthermore, privacy-oriented crypto assets have performed exceptionally well, with Zcash rising 8%, Monero increasing by 30%, and Decred surging by 40%. Meanwhile, the first ETPs for XRP and Dogecoin have begun trading. Grayscale also noted that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates again at its December 10 meeting, and the progress made by both parties in US bipartisan legislation on crypto could provide further positive news for the market. Despite continued market volatility in the short term, Grayscale remains optimistic about the crypto market outlook for 2026 and emphasizes the importance of long-term holding.PANews reported on December 2nd that, according to a recent report from Grayscale, Bitcoin's 32% pullback since early October is in line with historical averages, marking the ninth significant pullback in the current bull market.

Grayscale: Bitcoin may hit a new high in 2026; the four-year cycle theory is questionable.

A ‘Detonation’ May Be Next, Analyst Says

The post A ‘Detonation’ May Be Next, Analyst Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley! So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit…
