$BTC has never closed two years in a row red. Right now we're down 10% for the year — which means we need to break above $87k before December 31st to keep that streak alive.

If bulls can push through and close 2025 green, it would be a massive 12-month candle and a continuation of the historical pattern. Macro context matters: this would confirm we're still in a bull cycle, not a stall-out.

For long-term holders, the setup is simple — hold through the noise, add on weakness if conviction is there, and let the cycle play out. Time in the market beats timing the market. If we reclaim $87k+ and close the year green, it's another data point supporting the long-term thesis.

Patience and discipline. Let's see if the bulls show up.
