Every Bitcoin cycle has done the exact same three things, in the exact same order, since 2017

Every Bitcoin cycle has done the exact same three things, in the exact same order, since 2017

New all time high. Brutal drawdown, 80%+ historically. Then a slow reclaim that eventually breaks the old high completely. 2017 did it. 2021 did it. 2025 just did it again, peaking above $126k before correcting hard into this year.

What gets lost in the panic every single cycle is that the drawdown itself has gotten shallower each time, not deeper. 2013 lost roughly 85%. 2017 lost roughly 84%. 2021 lost roughly 77%. Same pattern, same fear, less damage each round as the asset matures and more capital treats corrections as entries instead of exits.

The part almost nobody believes while its happening, every previous "this time it's different, it's finally over" moment preceded a full recovery and a new high. Every one. Doesnt mean this cycle guarantees the same outcome, nothing's guaranteed, but four cycles of identical rhythm is a pattern worth knowing exists before assuming this one breaks it.

History doesnt repeat perfectly. It just rhymes enough to be worth paying attention to.
