Precious metals have performed so beautifully in this round of the market that silver has risen to the second position in global assets. The entire market should follow the trend in a bull market—shorting against the trend is the easiest way to get caught out—buying the dip against the trend, shorting against the trend, these are tests of human nature.

Rather than trying to top out, it's better to enjoy the opportunities brought by this wave of gains.

Looking at Bitcoin, its current market cap of 1.9T ranks eighth among global assets. It still has a lot of room for growth. My prediction for 2026 is that the volatility will be quite high throughout the year—maybe you'll see Bitcoin at 70,000, or perhaps at 120,000, but the core logic remains unchanged.

The real turning point will occur during the next bull market explosion. By then, Bitcoin will surpass giants like NVIDIA, Google, and Apple to become the third-largest global asset—this historic moment is gradually approaching.

BTC-1,86%

Silver second? Then those going against the trend to short are probably crying under their beds now haha --- 120,000 Bitcoins? As long as I can see it alive, I don’t dare think too much --- Following the trend is easy to say, but how many people truly hold coins and can do it --- Nvidia, Google, Apple? Got it, BTC is just a matter of time --- Those trying to top out are all gamblers; enjoying the rise is the true winning stance --- Being eighth with 1.9T? Still talking about a bull market, no matter how big the imagination, we have to face reality --- Shorting against the trend really is money-making; who dares to provoke the market’s temper now --- Fluctuating between 70K and 120K? I’ve made a killing from this volatility

Silver surging to second place? When the bull market arrives, it's time to join the feast. Those who insist on going against the trend are just courting death. When Bitcoin reaches third place, we'll all be rich, haha. Fluctuating between 70,000 and 120,000, staying calm is the key. Following the trend is so true—missing out is worse than falling into a pit. Can the next wave of explosion truly surpass these giants? Looking forward to that day.

I didn't expect Silver to surge to the second place; it does feel like metals are a bit crazy this round. Going against the trend to short is purely suicidal; in a bull market, you should just close your eyes and follow. BTC eighth place is a bit underwhelming; the potential for imagination is indeed huge. Wait, is the logic he's talking about based on a premise assumption? Can we really predict such a large fluctuation from 70,000 to 120,000? Let's each do our own thing.

Counter-cyclical operation is truly the ultimate test of human nature. I've seen too many friends go all-in on short positions out of greed and get wiped out... --- Silver second? I need to check this data again; it feels a bit off. --- I believe Bitcoin will break into third place, but the prediction range from 70,000 to 120,000 is too wide... --- Not touching the top is a very right statement. How many people have died because of the words "wait a bit longer"? --- Following the trend in a bull market is correct, but the problem is how to judge when the trend is really reversing. --- The potential for large scale is big, but it will still take years to reach third place? That seems too optimistic. --- Everyone is talking about enjoying the upward trend, but when it comes to critical moments, isn't it just a matter of a shaky hand and selling everything... --- Nvidia, Google, Apple—if you add up the market caps of these giants, how many times would that be compared to Bitcoin?

Silver second? That ranking is outrageous, feels like there's a problem with the data. Going with the trend to go long is the right way; those who insist on contrarian strategies deserve to be beaten up. BTC at only 1.9T and ranked eighth? The potential is indeed huge, but claiming it will be third is really over the line. Counter-trend bottom fishing is a gamble on human nature; I don't play that game. Acceptable range is from 70,000 to 120,000, mainly depends on the subsequent trend.

Shorting against the trend is like playing with fire. When this wave of precious metals rises, you have to jump in. Don't go against the trend, really. Bitcoin eighth? Honestly, the potential is indeed large, but the prediction of swinging between 70,000 and 120,000 is a bit uncertain. Wait for the bull market to truly explode and witness history. By then, don't say I didn't warn you.

Silver surging to the second place? Ridiculous, I thought it was just hype. Need to look at the data. Following the trend or not, the key is risk management. Even a bull market can leave you with nothing. 120,000 Bitcoins... This guy really dares to say that. I'm just watching. BTC third place? The potential is huge, but going from 1.9T to that position, how many people will be wiped out in the process? Counter-trend shorting is indeed easy to get trapped. I agree with that; I've been caught before. Precious metals have performed well this round, but how long can it last? No clear idea. Bitcoin's ranking is only a matter of time; the key is whether we can bottom fish effectively. The fluctuation from 70,000 to 120,000 is too large. This isn't even a prediction, it's like rolling dice.

Silver surging to second place? Damn, this wave of gains is truly incredible. --- People who go against the trend and short are just asking to lose. --- Bitcoin in third place? Just thinking about it is exciting, but we have to wait for the next bull market to erupt. --- There's nothing wrong with enjoying the trend; don't always try to catch the bottom. --- 1.9T only ranks eighth; the potential for growth is really huge. --- Swinging between 70,000 and 120,000, how do you choose? --- The test of human nature is nothing more than greed and fear; most people can't break free from them. --- Silver has already risen, indicating that this round of market movement is indeed something. --- I just want to know who the hell would short at this kind of time. --- Precious metals and Bitcoin soaring together—this script I like.

Bull markets are just riding the trend; those who go against it are just here to give away money. Counter-trend trading really tests human nature, haha. Silver's second-place data is crazy; this wave in precious metals is indeed justified. Bitcoin is only ranked eighth? The potential is truly incredible. Hovering between 70,000 and 120,000, just waiting for the next surge. The day BTC surpasses Apple and Google, it will be a historic moment. Don't try to catch the top; just enjoy the upward trend peacefully. That's the right attitude.
