If you look at old
$BTC charts, you will notice something important.
When
$BTC dropped heavily, price stayed low for a long time.
It moved slowly, formed a base, and then the next bull run started.
That stability came from one key behaviour: spot accumulation.
People bought real BTC and held it.
They were not trying to win every small move.
They were preparing for the next cycle.
This reduced available supply and created strong foundations.
Example:
2019–2020 → BTC stayed between $4k–$10k for months → steady accumulation → strong and stable bull run followed.
Now the behaviour is completely different.
Today, when BTC drops, most traders don't buy spot.
They open short positions expecting further drop.
When BTC rises, they open long positions expecting continuation.
Instead of absorbing supply, they create leveraged exposure.
This changes how the market moves.
This creates a continuous liquidation cycle:
BTC drops → shorts increase
BTC rises → shorts get liquidated → price spikes
BTC rises more → longs increase
$BTC drops → longs get liquidated → price falls
Price is now moving between liquidation zones, not accumulation zones.
ETF and easy leverage access accelerated this shift.
Large capital can now enter and exit faster.
And leverage allows traders to react instantly.
Market no longer needs long accumulation periods like before.
It moves faster, reacts faster, and becomes less stable.
This is the real difference:
Previous cycles were built on spot accumulation and supply reduction.
Current cycle is driven by leverage, positioning, and liquidation.
This makes the cycle more volatile, less predictable, and structurally different from previous crypto cycles.
