Executive summary
Over the past 365 days the market moved from a cycle peak into a deep correction: BTC -29.4% to 83,691, ETH -38.1%, total market cap -29.4%, AI sector -32.3%, with annual volatility near 114%. The main source of pressure was geopolitics–US strikes on Iran, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and oil spikes–while Trump’s Iran deal and the White House bitcoin reserve announcement provided only selective support. Despite the drawdown, BTC remains about 26% above its 200-week average, a healthy long-term zone rather than a global bear market. Tactically, the technical backdrop is neutral: after a 6% monthly rebound the market is pulling back, and October seasonality is historically favorable but needs confirmation from momentum and volume.
BTC, global market-cap and AI sector performance cover the full annual period. The event archive starts on 2025-12-02, so the event count and list cover the available part of the year.

Signals are mixed or still need confirmation. The system remains in watch mode to avoid trading noise.
Strategically, the yearly backdrop is constructive rather than bearish: BTC remains in a healthy zone above its 200-week average, so strong positive news can support the broader cycle. Tactically, the signal is neutral: the market is in a short-term pullback, and fresh entries need confirmation from momentum, volume and key-level holds. The near-term calendar is busy–ISM Manufacturing, Fed speakers, BTC options expiry and the US employment report: hotter data would pressure risk assets, while softer data would support risk appetite.

Additional data
BTC relationship to the regime
BTC remains the main filter for the market regime. At about 83.7K and roughly 26% above its 200-week average, it sits in a healthy long-term zone, but the technical signal is neutral and the market is in a short-term pullback. New signals should therefore be judged by BTC price action, volume and its ability to hold key levels.
