Bitcoin fell about 22% in Q1 and 14% in Q2 of 2026, marking only the third time it has started a year with two consecutive losing quarters, previously seen in 2018 and 2022—both bear market years. Unlike typical seasonal trends where Q4 is strong, those years saw continued declines. Current selling is driven by steady outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, low on-chain activity, a strong dollar, and investor shift to AI stocks. Analysts watch $40,000 as a key support level, with the third quarter opening slightly positive but uncertain if a recovery will follow.
