Value investing in crypto may face headwinds in 2026 as U.S. labor data show weaker job gains and slower income growth. With disposable income shrinking, retail investors may pull back from altcoins, which rely on discretionary capital. The Bank of Japan’s potential rate hikes could also pressure Bitcoin, affecting leveraged positions. Traders should watch key support and resistance levels as markets adjust to shifting monetary policy rather than retail-driven momentum.
