Observing Ethereum's year-end performance is quite interesting. On New Year's Day 2022, the market was weak, but starting from New Year's Day 2023, it rebounded. Although there were some adjustments afterward, the upward trend continued. By New Year's Day 2024, it kept climbing, and the whole year didn't stop. Entering 2025, the strength persisted. This cycle pattern is evident — it seems that every early year is an important observation point. So what about 2026? Will this cycle continue? The cyclical fluctuations of the crypto market have always been a familiar topic, but each round brings new variables. What do you think about the upcoming trend?

The rhetoric of cycles sounds vague, but the real variable is the rhythm of institutional entry, not some New Year magic.

Alright, this data is indeed interesting, but talking about cycles all day long is useless. Who knows what will happen next year? If you ask me, continuing to take off in 2026 would be a blessing, so don't be too greedy. Anyway, I've accumulated enough, and the rest depends on fate. Cycle patterns? Wake up, new variables are the real game-changer, okay? This kind of rhetoric feels a bit familiar, they say the same thing before every bull market, and look what happened... So the only thing I can be sure of right now is: uncertainty. But on the other hand, this logical chain makes sense and is worth paying attention to. Repeating the same arguments over and over is getting a bit boring. I don't believe in cycles; I believe in fundamentals. That’s the hard truth.

Periodicity sounds nice in theory, but who knows what the next cycle will bring... However, this pattern does seem a bit interesting. Honestly, I can't say whether 2026 will continue, but the upward trend starting from 2023 is indeed solid. Every year's beginning is definitely a key point, but there are too many variables... macroeconomics, policies, BTC movements—anything can influence. It's not just about looking at patterns; on-chain data and institutional movements are also important. 2025 is still rising, and 2026 is still early... we'll see then. I've heard a lot about cycle theories, but you really need to look at the actual fundamentals. It's quite hard to predict; anyway, I'm HODLing until I can't understand it anymore.

Interesting, but I think this cycle theory is a bit risky. Every time, they say "the pattern is here," and many end up eating their words. We'll have to see how the macro environment looks in 2026; you can't just focus on data and assume you can predict... There are too many new variables. Honestly, I'm more concerned about whether there will be another wave of corrections this year. Continuous upward trends can easily lull people into complacency. This logic has issues, right? Can three years of data really demonstrate cyclicality? The "patterns" in the crypto market are often more fragile than you think. Ethereum has indeed performed well over the past few years, but can it really serve as a weather vane for the entire cycle? 2026? Let's first understand 2025 clearly before talking about that. There are too many uncertainties.
