Top manager of Finality Capital: The crypto market anticipates a multi-stage reboot0

The cryptocurrency market may undergo a multi-stage reboot this year, culminating in the establishment of a sustainable bullish cycle, according to David Grider, a senior executive at investment firm Finality Capital.

He assessed that it is premature to label the current correction as critical. Digital assets typically respond first to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and declines in stock indices, thus the current situation aligns with the usual market dynamics.

Grider pointed out that multiple factors are simultaneously impacting the industry: global liquidity tightening, capital outflows from exchange-traded funds, and stress in the credit and banking sectors. These developments amplify volatility and price pressure, yet remain within the bounds of cyclical fluctuations.

“Historically, crypto cycles seldom progress linearly, and the current phase appears to be no exception. If current trends persist, 2026 is likely to unfold as a multi-stage reboot rather than a rapid recovery,” he stated.

According to him, the quarterly dynamics appear typical: the beginning of the year is marked by testing local lows and increased selling pressure amid the liquidation of margin positions. As stabilization occurs, a temporary recovery may be possible.

Grider suggested that if conditions normalize, Bitcoin could return to the $100,000 level and surpass it by the end of 2026. Negative scenarios remain plausible; however, he noted that significant downturns in the have historically been followed by prolonged growth phases.

Earlier, Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, stated that a new sustainable bullish cycle may not commence until 2027.
