Chart of the week: Is the crypto winter over?

Bitcoin has rallied since hitting a recent low in June.

Fidelity Viewpoints

After making a new all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025, bitcoin and the broader crypto market descended into what's referred to as the crypto winter (which is simply another term for a bear market that applies specifically to cryptocurrencies). But since the end of June, bitcoin has rallied roughly 40%. This has many crypto investors thinking that the crypto winter may indeed be over.

Analyzing stock fundamentals

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Investing involves risk, including risk of total loss.

Crypto as an asset class is highly volatile, can become illiquid at any time, and is for investors with a high risk tolerance. Crypto may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities. Crypto is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Investors in crypto do not benefit from the same regulatory protections applicable to registered securities.

Neither FBS nor NFS offer a direct investment in crypto nor provide trading or custody services for such assets.

Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.
