Santa Rally for Crypto? Analysts Divided as BTC Tracks Seasonal Patterns

[etfs]

While stocks edge near all-time highs, crypto continues to lag, raising questions about whether a Santa rally will finally spill into digital assets. Seasonality models show Bitcoin often strengthens into year-end, but others argue 2025 could finish sideways after racking up 171 days in negative territory.
Some analysts suggest any deeper pullback is more likely to arrive in early 2026 than in the remaining weeks of the year.
