According to CoinMeta, the Andre Dragosch of Bitwise Europe indicates that just five trading days had a significant impact on Bitcoin's performance in 2026. This year, Bitcoin's price fell by about 9%, but if those five best-performing days are excluded, the decline would expand to 36%. He pointed out that "Bitcoin is actually a relatively boring asset," with most of its performance usually occurring over a few short days, while for the majority of the time, it remains in a sideways range. The data highlights why long-term holding is more effective than trying to time the market in the short term.
