The final in-person event of BitBulaga 2025 delivered critical insights into the current cryptocurrency market cycle, shedding light on the trends that have shaped this year. Renowned influencers Tito Vlogs, Kuyang Gerome, and Crypto4Chun, along with GCrypto Head Luis Buenaventura, engaged the audience with an in-depth analysis of the market”s volatility and bold forecasts for 2026.
Throughout 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced significant price movements, surpassing previous all-time highs. During his segment, Gerome Lazaro, also known as Kuyang Gerome, outlined a timeline that identified key events contributing to this upward trend. Notably, speculation regarding a potential interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in August fueled investor optimism, culminating in an actual rate cut on September 17.
As 2025 progressed, the market faced unexpected challenges. Following the peak in October, a U.S. Government shutdown introduced renewed fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) into the cryptocurrency landscape. Lazaro warned that the “Doubt” phase may extend into 2026, suggesting that recovery could be slow and arduous. Aldrin Rabino, known as Crypto4Chun, echoed this sentiment, stating that a rebound in the market would likely take several months and would not be evident before the end of 2025.
A pressing question raised during the event was the absence of a widespread “Alt Season.” Despite the impressive rallies of Bitcoin, 2025 did not see a significant surge in alternative cryptocurrencies. Audience members pondered whether this cycle differs from previous ones due to the increasing institutional adoption of digital assets. The panelists agreed that while the fundamental market cycle remains intact, the environment has evolved. Gilbert Lazaro, also known as Tito Vlogs, pointed out that the four-year cycle still exists, but the presence of institutional players marks a substantial shift.
In closing, the speakers provided essential advice for traders preparing for the next market phase. They emphasized the importance of a well-researched approach and remaining adaptable to the dynamic nature of the crypto market.
