2025 Was The Bear Market For Bitcoin: Samson Mow
Summary
Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, asserted in an X post that 2025 constituted Bitcoin's bear market, suggesting the cryptocurrency is now poised for a "decade long bull run" extending potentially until 2035. This view is partially echoed by analyst PlanC, who noted that surviving 2025 means surviving the bear market, referencing Bitcoin's historical pattern of never having two consecutive red yearly candles. As of the article's publication, Bitcoin was down 8.98% year-to-date, trading around $87,420, and market sentiment, tracked by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, indicated "extreme fear." The industry remains divided on 2026 performance, with some analysts like Peter Brandt predicting a drop to $60,000, while others, like Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer, suggest a "year off" with prices near $65,000. Conversely, some executives remain bullish, citing strong market fundamentals.
