Bitcoin closes January in the red, again.

Bitcoin closes January in the red, again.
Three months of losses behind us, and February now carries the weight of hope.
November -17.67%, December -2.97%, and January wraps up at -10.17%. Not a crash, not a capitulation — just that slow, grinding bleed that messes with your head more than violent candles ever do. $BTC has been testing patience, not balance sheets.
What keeps me calm is perspective. Since 2013, February closed green 10 times out of 13. That’s not a guarantee, but it’s a rhythm. Markets have seasons, just like the sea down here: some months are rough, others suddenly smooth out without warning.
After three red months, positioning is lighter, leverage is bruised, and sentiment feels heavy but not broken. That’s usually when things start to shift quietly, not explosively. No fireworks, just slow reclaiming of levels.
Will February save everyone? Probably not. But statistically, emotionally, structurally — it has room to surprise. And in crypto, that’s often enough to flip the mood. On croise les doigts. 🌊
