Trader Reflects on Challenges and Market Trends in 2026

On March 28, trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio announced on his personal channel that he has exited all positions, stating, "I tried, but it didn't pay off. 2026 has proven to be more challenging than 2025, indicating a need to reduce trading frequency. It seems more patience is required." According to BlockBeats, on March 16, Eugene Ng Ah Sio had previously shared that he had shifted to a bullish stance. Despite the overall weakening of global risk assets, the crypto market showed resilience, marking the first relative strength since Bitcoin's crash from $60,000. Ng noted that although he did not buy at the lowest point, he preferred to follow strong buying after breaking out of consolidation to better manage risk. He observed that several altcoins exhibited natural rounded bottom patterns, suggesting a higher probability of short-term gains in the crypto market. Ng speculated that if Bitcoin effectively breaks through $74,000, the entire crypto market could see a significant rally, with major coins like ETH and SOL potentially returning to their previous trading ranges of $2,400 and $100, respectively.
