2026 has felt like an extended crypto winter . Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) got stuck in a frustratingly long consolidation phase. If you check CoinMarketCap's popular Fear & Greed index, it's sitting at a perfectly neutral 45, while the Altcoin season index is hovering at an equally lukewarm 55. Bitcoin itself is down 30% over the past 52 weeks and 4% over the past month, as of Oct. 28. Despite the market's sideways shuffle, Bitcoin dominance remains a formidable 60. 1%.
