[10x Research: Gap Between Current Market Structure and Widespread Bearish Expectations] Odaily Planet Daily News – 10x Research posted on the X platform, stating that most investors' confidence in cryptocurrency trends for 2026 may be problematic. 10x Research had issued a warning in late October about the start of a Bitcoin bear market before the shift in market sentiment. After a 20% price drop, bearish sentiment has become consensus, with the prevailing view being that this is a tough year in the cycle to avoid. However, when expectations are widely accepted, the market rarely experiences volatility. What is currently concerning is the growing gap between public perception and the underlying market structure. Early signals often emerge when confidence is low and positions are cautious. Relying on cyclical narratives or waiting for clear outcomes may lead to missed opportunities.
