Pantera Capital Predicts 2026 Crypto Rebound After 2025's Whipsaw Market Capitulation

Investment firm Pantera Capital has released a market analysis suggesting that the cryptocurrency sector experienced a 'whipsaw' year in 2025, characterized by extreme volatility that led to widespread investor capitulation. According to the firm, this period of market stress and surrender has set the stage for a potential rebound in 2026. Pantera's outlook indicates that the selling pressure from discouraged investors is now exhausting itself, which historically creates a foundation for a new bullish cycle. The report highlights that such capitulation phases, while painful, often clear out weak positions and pave the way for sustained recovery. Market participants are now advised to monitor accumulation patterns and fundamental developments heading into the new year.
