$BTC Bitcoin Will Finish 2026 With Gains, Per This 10-Year Analysis
Over the past few days, I have been analysing the price of
#bitcoin and realised the coin has not gone more than a year with dips.
While Bitcoin has returned losses for investors in some years, BTC always make a comeback the following year to indemnify traders and investors.
Bitcoin's Two Year Gains and An Aftermath Loss
In 2016, driven massively by second halving in July which led to a reduction in supply coupled with mining rewards. BTC posted 123% gains. Much of the gains also came from adoption via exchanges as well as crypto wallets. Over the year, the coin traded in the range of $352 and $982. Booms in ICOs in addition to futures launch on the CME and
#Cboe propelled the coin to gains of 1,337% in 2017. Despite China's ban, Bitcoin performed well trading between $775 and $19,892. After 2 successful years, BTC plunged by 73% leaving new buyers with just 27% worth of their crypto in their portfolio. Regulatory scrutiny, crypto winter, and post-bubble correction went against the
#defi market.
Bitcoin Regains Momentum After 2018 Loss
Despite regulatory pushbacks, it brought gains of 87% on the back of a market recovery. BTCs strength was further tested in 2020 after it begun the year at a strong starting price of $7,166. On a personal level, I taken aback with the COVID-19 market crash which reduced the CeFi and DeFi to new high lows. Despite the negatives, institutional entry, creation, and addition of new crypto projects, and integration of Bitcoin by PayPal fuelled the rebound. Overall, BTC spiked 304% after opening and closing 2020 at $7,166 and $28,922. The good days carried on into 2021 and what was previously known as the best year in crypto, Web3, and the metaverse. With
#bayc reaching record prices, BTC reached a then ATH of $69K thanks to institutional hype bringing gains to 60%+.
2022 saw a steep 64% decline. Gains were made in 2023 (+156%) and 2024 (+121%) followed by -7% dip in 2025.
Naturally, this shows that 2026 is destined to turn into gains for BTC.
