Is Bitcoin repeating history?
The third cycle… Has it really begun?
The market doesn’t move randomly.
And Bitcoin specifically has been repeating a clear pattern since 2017.
Let’s set aside emotion and just look at the structure.
First cycle (2017–2019)
Peak near $21,000
Collapse of about 84%
Strong base at 3–4K
Then a new historic breakout
Second cycle (2021–2022)
Peak at $69,000
Drop of about 77%
Base at 15–17K
Then recovery and a new expansion phase
Now…
Third cycle?
Peak near $126,000
Drop exceeding 70%
A historic demand zone forming between $45,000–$55,000
Do you notice the pattern?
Almost vertical rise
Sharp collapse
Long accumulation phase
Then a stronger upward wave
Ratios vary…
But the structure remains constant.
The real question isn’t:
Will it drop more?
But:
Is the long-term structure still intact?
In every cycle:
Panic was at the bottom.
And confidence was at the top.
Smart money doesn’t chase the price…
It monitors the structure.
What has changed this time?
• Entry of major institutions and funds
• Market maturation
• Clearer link to global liquidity
But history shows something important:
Bitcoin moves in psychological cycles before price cycles.
If the third cycle completes like the previous two…
We are in an area where wealth is quietly being built.
And if the structure breaks?
That means entering a completely different new phase.
Markets$don’t give loud signals…
But leave signs for those who understand them
