Following the sharp correction in Bitcoin price, cryptocurrency analyst Colin Talks Crypto shared a comprehensive assessment of how investors might proceed in the current cycle.
According to the analyst, the possibility of a strong recovery in the market in the short term is increasing; however, it remains unclear whether this move will be the start of a new bull wave or a relief rally within the bear market.
Colin argues that he expects a “big bounce” in Bitcoin in the short term, and that such a move could also push altcoins higher. However, the crucial question is whether this bounce will lead to a new all-time high (ATH) or simply be a temporary rebound within the current downtrend.
The analyst claims the market is at a turning point, with the main scenario being BTC reaching new ATH levels in late December or January 2026: “Nobody knows for sure. We’re all making our best guess.”
Colin Talks Crypto is also cautious about portfolio management. The analyst, who says he still holds 96% of his portfolio in Bitcoin due to uncertainty, notes that altcoins could lose much more value than BTC in a potential bear market, and therefore has taken a hedging position.
The analyst also points to a less likely scenario: a short-term “mini bear market.” Accordingly, Bitcoin might not fall as sharply as it does in typical bear markets, but rather initiate a new rally in line with the business cycle (ISM) in 2026 after a more limited correction. Colin gives this scenario a probability of approximately 15%.
According to Colin, BTC has still not reached an overheated point in this cycle.
