📊INSIGHT: Just FIVE trading days made a major difference to Bitcoin’s 2026 performance. Bitcoin is down roughly 9% this year, but excluding its five best-performing days would widen the decline to 36%. “Bitcoin is actually a relatively boring asset,” Bitwise Europe’s Andre Dragosch said. “The majority of performance is usually made in a handful of days, while most of the time it moves sideways and consolidates.” The data highlights why staying invested can be more effective than trying to time the market.` Time in the market beats timing the market.
