🟡The Fear and Greed Index is in the neutral zone. Since October, the index has been consistently in the "fear" and "extreme fear" zone. Sentiment is gradually turning positive.
🟡Market structure is gradually improving. After pr

⭐️ Maturity in Question: The Paradoxical 2025 Outcomes for DeFi
"The DeFi sector has become mature and secure"—this statement by Vitalik Buterin could have been the perfect epigraph for the results of 2025, if not for the harsh reality.
Almost simultaneously with these words, the crypto community was rocked by the news of the closure of the popular analytics service DappRadar. Shortly before this, Balancer lost $128 million in assets due to an error in one of the key components of the platform, reminding everyone of the fragility of "financial Lego."
This dichotomy permeates 2025. On the one h

What if the cycles persist? Are we in a bearish trend?
A common question: what happens if the four-year cycle persists? Then we're truly in a bearish trend for the next two years. If you look at the corresponding chart (I attached it to the post), you can see that in the usual system, the cycle is over.
This is usually followed by a long correction lasting a year (about 70% for BTC), followed by a year of recuperation. In this case, it's only worth adding to positions in mid-2027.
What about altcoins then? Will they all fall another 95%?
I don't think so. Dominance has its own cycle, and it's

Elon Musk has brought in hopium: US GDP growth will reach double-digit levels within 12-18 months. This looks extremely optimistic, more like the beginning of a warm-up before the 2026 elections 😇

Bitcoin autumn ATH, DeFi boom and the end of hype: predictions for 2026
If the crypto market made New Year's promises, in 2026 it would have decided to finally mature. The industry abandons hyped slogans in favor of monotonous, diligent work for total transformation.
DeFi will become a difficult quest, private networks will break into the mainstream, projects with applied value will replace storytellers with their "easy x's". How will it get along with the blood-sucking market makers and the search for loopholes under the regulator's baton? Will we witness bold victories or shocking failu
