Bitcoin News: Cycle Top in 2026 Or Decade-Long Rally?

Bitcoin news: Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin mining firm Jan3, said on Nov. 5 that the current price rally “hasn’t started yet,” noting that gains are only “marginally outperforming inflation.”

That performance barely exceeds the U.S. inflation rate (roughly 3%.) His comments came as Bitcoin briefly dipped below $100,000.

He attributed this slide to rising U.S.–China trade tensions and other macroeconomic factors.

Even after the pullback, Mow remained bullish, predicting eventual sharp gains (a year-end “Christmas god candle” spike) as Bitcoin still outpaces inflation.

He urged investors not to chase every piece of Bitcoin news, dismissing rumors of veteran holders selling as baseless and stressing that Bitcoin will eventually “add a zero” to its price[5].

Macro Pressures and Recent Price Dip

Bitcoin’s recent slide to just under $100,000 was largely blamed on external pressures. Analysts noted the downturn coincided with escalating U.S.–China trade friction and broader market worries.

Mow echoed those points, saying the pullback reflected macro headwinds rather than a loss of confidence in the asset.

He predicted this decline is temporary and even hinted at the potential for a “God candle” surge. It’s an outsized one-day rally marked by an unusually large green candlestick — if buying pressure returns.

Mow even said he was “not uncertain” about the chance of a Christmas God candle rally.

Bitcoin News: Cycle Forecast — 2026 or Decade Rally?

Mow questioned traditional market cycle assumptions. According to him, Bitcoin has been “basically flat for 2025,” implying the current cycle isn’t over.

He said a cycle peak could come in 2026, but he also raised the prospect of a decade-long “generational” bull run. He even mentioned an “Omegacycle,” meaning the end of traditional cycles.

In any case, Mow stressed that a longer upward trend is still in play. He even recalled his earlier prediction of a swift jump to $1 million in a “short and violent upheaval”.

This underscored his view that any quiet period could be followed by a sharp rally. Mow flatly dismissed sensational Bitcoin news reports about sell-offs as baseless.

On X (formerly Twitter), he said worries that early-adopter “OGs” were dumping Bitcoin were “incredible” and self-generated by fearful traders.

He noted this directly countered a recent note by former Wall Street strategist Jordi Visser. He had speculated that longtime holders might be selling.

Mow said he did not know any OGs actually dumping coins. He told investors to focus on the big picture.

He reiterated his view that Bitcoin is “going to add a zero,” underlining that the long-term uptrend remains intact.

Meanwhile, the crypto market’s Fear & Greed Index slipped into “extreme fear” this week.

Mow noted that Jan3’s own index — which inverts the standard metric — hit “extreme greed,” suggesting that devoted holders were buying even during the dip.

In effect, Mow said much of the recent Bitcoin news was just noise, urging investors to focus on fundamentals rather than headlines.

He told traders to ignore daily Bitcoin news and short-term hype; indeed, he noted that many Bitcoiners were “still stacking” coins even as prices wavered, implying the pullback could be a buying opportunity.

His message was that the bull market remains ahead, not behind the recent dip. He noted that Bitcoin has been “flat for 2025,” which to him means the cycle top is still ahead.

He reiterated that Bitcoin would eventually “add a zero,” strongly emphasizing his long-term bullish outlook, and ultimately urged investors to “plan accordingly” for either a 2026 cycle top or a decade-long rally.
