Indexed $BTC price history by year (as of 09/11/2026)

This chart shows how each yearly candle performed relative to its starting point. Clean way to visualize which years were absolute rippers vs the bleed-out periods.

Notice the pattern: massive green years followed by consolidation/correction years. 2024 looking mid-range so far, but we're still early in the cycle if history repeats.

Key: Don't chase the top of green candles. Accumulate during red/flat years when everyone's checked out.
