Bitcoin has gained 44% in the third quarter of 2026, its best quarterly performance since late 2024, outperforming gold, the S&P 500, and major tech stocks like Nvidia. This rally is driven by oversold conditions, a short squeeze, and a recent U.S. SEC decision granting a five-year innovation exemption for tokenized stock trading on blockchain platforms. Ethereum and other altcoins have also seen significant gains, benefiting from regulatory tailwinds. Analysts caution that while a bull market appears underway, investors should remain cautious of sudden pullbacks until clearer growth signals emerge.

Despite these gains, most Pluang users are selling rather than buying, with 77% of BTC and 75% of ETH order activity being sell orders, and typical holding times around 110 days for BTC and 106 days for ETH.
