The psychology of perpetual bears is fascinating. When $BTC was at $58K, they wanted $50K. At $70K, they dreamed of $62K. At $80K, they called for a crash back to $70K. Now at $85K, they're predicting a drop to $75K.
Here's the pattern: bears always anchor to the last local top as their "realistic" downside target. They're not actually analyzing market structure — they're just emotionally committed to being right about a correction.
The real irony? A few years from now, when $BTC drops from $200K to $150K, these same people will declare victory and say "see, I told you it would crash." Meanwhile, they've missed 3x–5x gains because they were waiting for the perfect entry that never came.
This isn't about being bullish or bearish. It's about recognizing when you're wrong and adapting. The market doesn't care about your thesis. Capital flows, liquidity cycles, and adoption curves move price — not your conviction that "this time it's different" on the downside.
Some people never learn. They'd rather be right about a 10% pullback than make life-changing money on a 10x move.
