I dont think the time to boldly proclaim 2026 directionality is on Dec 29th. However, I do believe some pretty outsized volatility is coming early next year, but I'm being patient.

In my opinion, the right tail isn't being properly priced in right now. That doesnt mean we need to go up... but it simply means if we aren't going to go down much more, there is some VERY cheap upside available.

It entirely possible that if this is NOT the end of the "cycle" & the 4 year $BTC cycle is dead, then some serious upside for alt coins can happen.

Historically, $OTHERS.D has found a base between -60 to -70% from its ATH.

We didnt have an "alt-season" this cycle. We had some runners & froth, no doubt. But it was nothing like last cycle... I mean $ETH didnt even go into price discovery (pathetic).

Funny enough, look at when $OTHERS.D bottomed the previous 2 cycles... (First week of the new year).

One thing I know for certain is that airing on the side of optimism always wins in financial markets. 2025 was tough, but dont quit just yet. You could be pleasantly surprised.

Most of my systems have gone from short (since September/October) to neutral. It doesnt mean we have to go up & capitalize on this subtle shift... but it means that there is a chance & it's worth watching very closely here.
