After Bitcoin falls below $90,000: How to adjust your investment strategy in 2026

In 2025, the price of Bitcoin dropped from $126,000 to $90,000, a decline of nearly 30%. Market sentiment was pessimistic, and analysts expect the crypto market to be even more challenging in 2026. Investors are advised to consider Web3-related sectors with lower volatility, such as retail trading platforms and communication device providers, to reduce risk and seize potential growth opportunities.

【Crypto World】The performance of Bitcoin in 2025 has indeed been a bit of a test of patience. From soaring to a peak of $126,000 in October to now falling below $90,000, a decline of nearly 30%—even Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT haven’t been spared, dropping 26% over three months.

Currently, market sentiment is becoming increasingly pessimistic. Many analysts are saying that 2026 will be even tougher, with expectations of a crypto winter dampening enthusiasm, and signals of weak demand are also increasing. But at such times, it makes one think: should we consider a different investment approach?

Instead of sticking to the volatility of crypto assets, it might be better to look at those related to the Web3 ecosystem but with relatively moderate fluctuations. Some research institutions have selected a few sectors, including retail trading platforms like Robinhood Markets, chip manufacturers like Micron Technology, and communication equipment providers such as Ciena and Credo Technology—they are all connected to the infrastructure or trading demand of the crypto ecosystem, but with different risk profiles.

In simple terms, find targets that can benefit from Web3 growth but do not directly bear the risk of coin price fluctuations. This approach is worth considering during a bear market.

Falling from 126,000 to 90,000, this psychological test is real, but shifting to the Web3 ecosystem surroundings might actually be more stable? I think this is what "saving the country by curve" means. --- Instead of waiting for the winter to pass, why not explore those less direct opportunities now? Forget it, let's see if there's a bottom. --- Chip manufacturers and trading platforms are indeed less volatile than the crypto circle, but to be honest, only a few of these projects can really succeed. --- A 30% decline is neither too big nor too small; the key is whether confidence remains. Will 2026 really be more difficult? --- I don't trust those so-called expert analysts; they always say it will be harder, but what’s the result? --- Web3 peripherals are indeed a viable idea, but don’t be too optimistic; the risks are still the same. --- The phrase "winter expectations suppress popularity" is well said, but lowering popularity is also the time to get on board. --- IBIT has dropped 26%, indicating institutions are fleeing; is it really worth it for individuals to still hold on tightly? --- Since everyone is losing money anyway, why not bet on a direction? The chip concept is actually quite promising. --- I've read too many articles like this; in the end, it still depends on your own judgment. Don’t be led by the rhythm.

A 30% drop is nothing. I entered at the peak of 120,000 and am still holding on. Anyway, since I've already lost, might as well consider it a dollar-cost averaging. Wait, are trading platforms like Robinhood actually more stable? I need to think about this logic... What winter recession are you talking about? We said the same last year, and look what happened. Chip stocks might actually be more reliable than directly bottom-fishing cryptocurrencies, but it still depends on individual risk tolerance. I think the key is not to go all in on one direction; diversification is the way to go.

Down again and again, my mindset has already collapsed. Why bother adjusting any strategy? To be honest, instead of stressing over Web3 ecosystem themes, it's better to wait and see how things develop. If it's a cold winter, then it's just a cold winter. A 30% drop... I choose to lie flat; anyway, I have no more money to add to my position, haha. Rather than trusting analysts, it's better to trust your own intuition. After all, it's all a gamble. Betting that this wave will rebound later, or else my position will really be in danger.

30% decline? Ha... this is the real "mental test," I'm speechless --- Instead of waiting for the cold winter, it's better to look at those surrounding businesses. Platforms like Robinhood are indeed much more stable --- I think the path of chips is viable. Anyway, no matter how Web3 twists and turns, hardware support is necessary --- The era of strictly sticking to pure cryptocurrencies might really be over. We need to learn to bottom fish in related areas --- It's nicely called "strategy adjustment," but it's really just stop-loss + finding new ways out. A bit realistic, huh --- Is 2026 even harder? Should I sell now or hoard... This question is really frustrating --- Robinhood is indeed a good idea. They focus on traffic, not just on the rise and fall of coins

Wow, a 30% drop immediately discouraged me. What are you still thinking about 2026 for? Haha
