Instead, analysts are <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2050134475510538612\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pointing<\/a> to rising macro volatility around the incoming Federal Reserve leadership, continued uncertainty around the CLARITY Act, and oil prices pushing back above $100 per barrel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All of these add to the case that exiting the cycle may be more strategic than staying exposed and watching profit margins gradually compress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the question becomes: Is the market entering a phase where risk management takes priority over chasing upside?<\/p>\n<h2><b>Bitcoin faces seasonal headwinds\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin\u2019s April rally has come on the back of strong ETF flows, reinforcing institutional conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, beyond flows, the impact is also psychological. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a technical angle, BTC\u2019s Q1 correction followed Q4\u2019s 23.29% dip, meaning the FUD from the October crash clearly carried into the early 2026 rally, as BTC posted its first red January in years, down 10.17%, the weakest January since the 2022 bear market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, this aligned with Bitcoin ETFs recording $1.6 billion in net outflows, bringing total Q1 ETF flows to -$40 million.
