This is the Bitcoin Situation for the Next 3 Years

Since last August I warned that the $108,000 level could not be lost in Bitcoin or else we entered a bearish cycle and it was going to be hard.

I am not a guru nor do I have a crystal ball.

But I try to get informed and I dedicate a lot of time to understanding what a Halving is. I understand mining costs. I understand staking. I understand leverage.

But above all we need to understand how all this leads us to CYCLES.

This chart is very powerful for understanding Bitcoin.

Each line is a cycle since its Halving. This event happens every 4 years.

The first cycle (the blue one) made the high somewhat earlier but the following cycles have made their highs at the same moment. All the lows have happened one year after reaching this high.

This last cycle (the strong yellow one) looks smaller and this is not a coincidence. Notice that each cycle is smaller than the previous one.

And this makes sense.

Bitcoin cycles are INFLATIONARY AND LOGARITHMIC.

Inflationary and logarithmic?

This is vital. Let me translate it for you.

Bitcoin should follow inflation because it is a finite asset like gold or real estate in certain areas.

Easy but logarithmic?

This is something you can't IGNORE anymore.

🤔 Bitcoin cycles go up less every time.

One reason is that the more an asset capitalizes the more it costs to keep it going up. Money in the world is finite and therefore when something capitalizes billions it starts to be complicated to make it grow in a faster rate than inflation.

But you must also know that in the Halvings the rewards to miners are reduced.

At the beginning this meant a beastly reduction of many BTCs which drove the price very high. But now the reward is barely reduced by 3 or 1 BTC so the price cannot rise at the same pace.

If we pay attention to previous cycles Bitcoin will keep falling in 2026 until the end of the year before starting a recovery. This is the most likely scenario right now.

So much for Bitcoin theory so let us go to the practical part.

🚀 Where will this low happen?

I do not know and nobody knows but we have clues.

In each of the cycles we have seen the price retreat from highs.

And a lot.

The first cycle down 85%
The second down 80%
The third down 75%

And now?

Maybe 70%? It could be. It is just an approximation.

This last drop to $60,000 is already a great milestone as the price has corrected 50% but in previous cycles we see that the best is still to come. It can fall another 50% down to $30k or $40k to meet the levels close to 70% correction which would seem plausible based on previous behavior.

In terms of price it seems there is a gap to fill and in terms of time it is even better.

Correction time of first cycle is 12 months
Correction time of second cycle is 12 months
Correction time of third cycle is 12 months

If this fourth cycle lasts the same as the previous ones we will be talking about seeing the moment of maximum pain in October 2026.

That is the moment where we will all say that $BTC is going to 0.

Who knows.

But, if we start accumulating in the $60k zone and save some money for the $30-40k area, we could easily average a $50k position during 2026.

After three years we should be at the next cycle peak which following a logarithmic progression could be somewhat higher than these last $120k (current cycle peak).

Let us assume $150k. (Which is a number I get from the serie of previous rallies, but there is too much math for today)

We are talking about selling the investment for triple the price in 3 years. That is a return that is not bad at all.

The risk is total. I go without a Stop Loss. It is aspirational investment and in no case is it capital protection.

And while we wait for the price to reach the right zone to keep buying, you could also make a quick trade to catch the next 10% rally.

#BTC #bitcoin #TrendingTopic

let's talk about something most crypto people don't want to admit: bitcoin might have already won its biggest battle and lost its biggest opportunity at the same time.
the uncomfortable truth about bitcoin's next 10x
in my view, bitcoin no longer has the potential to increase in value by 1,000x, 100x, or even 10x. i know that sounds bearish, but hear me out.
fifteen years ago, bitcoin emerged at the perfect moment right after the 2008 financial crisis when trust in governments, banks, and fiat currencies was at historic lows. remember occupy wall street? the tea party? that was real rage. bitcoin offered something different: decentralized, scarce, and completely outside the traditional financial system.
back then, the extreme volatility (70% to 90% drawdowns, multiple times) was tolerable because it was always followed by 5x, 10x, sometimes even 100x rallies. much of this growth was driven by waves of new, highly leveraged investors attracted by returns that were literally impossible to find in traditional assets.
the discovery phase is over
today, bitcoin is widely known. your parents have heard of it. your barber has an opinion on it. that one friend who still uses a flip phone? yeah, they know what bitcoin is too.
this dramatically reduces the likelihood of massive new inflows purely from discovery. the "wait until people find out about this" narrative is dead. people found out. they either bought in or decided not to.
at the same time, investors seeking speculative upside now have alternatives: gold, silver, tech stocks like tesla, or other high-risk assets that offer more stability while satisfying the same appetite for outsized gains.
we got what we asked for (and it killed the dream)
here's the paradox that nobody wants to acknowledge:
bitcoin spent years fighting for mainstream institutional and governmental acceptance. that day has arrived.
etfs exist ✓banks offer exposure ✓regulators have frameworks ✓institutions are accumulating ✓
yet this acceptance has not translated into widespread use as a medium of exchange for goods and services. instead, financialization has deepened.
large institutions can now trade "paper bitcoin" through derivatives, potentially expanding synthetic supply through futures and short selling. the original scarcity narrative — the thing that made bitcoin special — gets diluted within the modern financial system.
"we wanted wall street to accept bitcoin. they did. then they turned it into another tradfi product."
~ every og bitcoiner, probably
so what's the path forward?
i struggle to see a clear trajectory for bitcoin under its current setup. the explosive growth phase was fueled by:
novelty (now gone)distrust in traditional systems (institutions co-opted it)extreme volatility cycles (being smoothed out by institutional participation)
now that bitcoin is widely known, institutionalized, and deeply integrated into mainstream finance, the asymmetric upside that defined its early years appears structurally harder to repeat.
the one scenario that could change everything
one potential catalyst would be genuine, large-scale adoption as a unit of account for globally traded commodities — oil, gas, strategic resources.
if major exporters began pricing and settling contracts in #bitcoin , demand would shift from speculative to transactional. that would represent a structural transformation, not just another hype cycle.
however, this would require:
geopolitical realignmentsovereign-level coordinationprice stability (the irony)
and here's where it gets really interesting...
the cruel irony: legitimacy kills volatility
paradoxically, if bitcoin achieved that level of real-economy integration, investors would have to say goodbye to the volatility that historically drove outsized returns.
a currency used for large-scale commodity settlement cannot swing 20-30% in a week without creating systemic risk. stability would become a feature, not a bug.
and while stability could validate bitcoin as infrastructure, it would also kill its appeal as a high-beta speculative asset.
in that scenario, bitcoin might mature into a low-volatility settlement layer — valuable, sure, but unlikely to deliver the exponential gains that early adopters experienced.
the identity crisis
this is bitcoin's real problem in 2026:
is it:
digital gold? (then it competes with actual gold)a payments network? (then it competes with visa/mastercard)a speculative asset? (then it competes with tech stocks)global reserve currency? (then it needs stability, killing returns)
it can't be all of these things simultaneously. and trying to be everything to everyone might mean it ends up being nothing special to anyone.
what this means for crypto broadly
if bitcoin — the flagship, the original, the most trusted — is facing this identity crisis, what does that mean for the rest of crypto?
defi promised to replace banks. instead, it became a casino.
nfts promised digital ownership. instead, they became jpgs of monkeys.
web3 promised decentralization. instead, it became vc-funded startups with tokens.
the pattern is clear: crypto gets absorbed by the system it was supposed to replace, then loses the properties that made it interesting in the first place.
the uncomfortable question
in short, the path to legitimacy and the path to extraordinary returns may no longer be the same path.
and as a result, i'm genuinely not sure what purpose bitcoin and crypto serve today beyond being another asset class for speculation.
maybe that's enough. maybe being "just another tradeable asset" is the final form.
but if that's the case, we should stop pretending it's revolutionary and just call it what it is: a speculative tech stock with better branding.
#RiskAssetsMarketShock $BTC

Most traders won’t catch this at first glance, but on the weekly timeframe, $BTC is moving in a rhythm we’ve seen before. It looks messy zoomed in. Zoom out — and the structure tells a much clearer story.
Bitcoin historically rotates through phases: impulse → consolidation → impulse → exhaustion.
The last major leg up had all the late-cycle characteristics — aggressive expansion, shallow pullbacks, relentless continuation. That kind of behavior typically shows up closer to cycle tops than fresh beginnings.
Now the character has shifted.
We’re seeing:
• Lower highs beginning to stack
• Price compressing inside a tightening range
• Volatility cooling off
• Momentum losing its clean follow-through
The waves are still there — but they’re no longer impulsive. They hesitate. They stall. Structurally, that leans more toward distribution than fresh accumulation.
If history offers guidance, $BTC may need more time to reset expectations. That could mean extended sideways action. It could also mean one deeper corrective leg to properly clear positioning before any sustainable expansion resumes.
A true bullish shift won’t be subtle. It will look like:
Strong impulse legs
Followed by continuation
Not hesitation
Until that structure reappears, this remains a patience environment — not a prediction environment.
Watch behavior. Not hope.
#bitcoin #CryptoAnalysis

Most people won’t notice this, but on the weekly chart, $BTC is printing a very familiar rhythm. At first glance it looks random and directionless, almost messy. But when you zoom out and study the structure carefully, it’s far from chaotic.
Bitcoin tends to move in repeating phases: impulse → pause → impulse → exhaustion. The previous leg up was classic late-cycle behavior strong expansion, shallow pullbacks, and continuation after continuation.
That type of price action usually appears near the end of a cycle, not at the beginning. When upside momentum gets fully consumed, the market shifts its character.
What we’re seeing now is different. Lower highs are forming, price is compressing in a relatively tight range, and volatility is drying up. The waves still exist, but they’re no longer clean or impulsive like before. Structurally, this leans more toward distribution than fresh accumulation.
If previous cycles are any guide, #BTC may need more time to reset. That could mean extended sideways action, or even one deeper corrective move to properly shake out positioning before a true new expansion phase begins.
I’ll only turn structurally bullish again when price starts trending with clarity when impulse legs are followed by strong continuation, not hesitation. Until then, patience matters more than prediction.

⚔️ Bitcoin 2026 Deep Dive: Market, Whales, Cycles & Real Stories

1️⃣ BTC Today – Volatility but Structure Still Alive

As of February 11, 2026, Bitcoin is trading around $66,900 – $67,000, down roughly 2–3% in the last 24 hours. Recent high was near $69,200 and intraday low around $66,400.

From the October 2025 ATH above $126,000, BTC is currently down nearly 47%. Historically, this type of correction is not unusual in post-halving cycles.

Key Data Snapshot:
- Market Cap: ~$1.37 Trillion - 24h Volume: $40–70B - Circulating Supply: ~19.98M BTC - BTC Dominance: ~58%
Short-term support sits around $64K–$65K. Major resistance remains $70K–$72K. A strong reclaim above resistance could shift momentum bullish again.

2️⃣ Who Owns the Most Bitcoin in 2026?

Bitcoin’s total supply is capped at 21 million. Major holders include:

- Satoshi Nakamoto (~1.1M BTC, dormant)
- Coinbase Custody
- BlackRock IBIT ETF
- Binance Reserves
- Fidelity Digital Assets
- MicroStrategy
- Grayscale Trust
- U.S. Government (seized BTC)
- Robinhood
- Bitfinex

Institutional accumulation is significantly stronger than previous cycles. ETFs and custodians now control a large portion of circulating supply.

3️⃣ The 4-Year Bitcoin Cycle

Bitcoin historically follows halving-driven cycles:

2012 → Massive rally
2016 → Run to $20K
2020 → Run to $69K
2024 → ATH ~$126K (2025 peak)

Current drawdown (~47%) aligns with historical correction behavior. Next halving is expected in 2028.

The key question: Was $126K the cycle top, or are we mid-cycle?

4️⃣ Bitcoin Transactions: From 2009 to Lightning

First transaction: January 12, 2009 (Satoshi to Hal Finney).
First real-world purchase: May 22, 2010 – 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

Today, the Lightning Network enables near-instant, low-fee payments. Layer-2 scaling and sidechains are expanding Bitcoin beyond store-of-value use cases.

5️⃣ Real Bitcoin Stories

- Erik Finman turned early BTC into life-changing wealth.
- Laszlo Hanyecz proved BTC had value with the famous pizza purchase.
- The Bitcoin Family went all-in and built a nomadic crypto lifestyle.

Final Thoughts

Volatility remains high. Sentiment is fragile. But institutions are here, ETFs are active, and long-term holders remain strong.

Corrections reset markets. Structure determines direction.

Are we in distribution or accumulation?

What’s your move holding, buying dips, or waiting?

#bitcoin #metrics
Несколько сильных метрик указывают на переломный момент в цикле — именно такие периоды часто определяют направление рынка на месяцы вперед.
— Индикатор Bitcoin Vector ранее точно обозначил ралли альтов и последующий разворот в январе. Сейчас рынок находится в BTC-цикле, но показатели постепенно смещаются в сторону альткоинов.
— В Nexo 56,2% залогового обеспечения — это BTC. Диапазон держится на уровне 54–60%, что говорит о высоком доверии к активу даже после коррекции.
— Соотношение реализованной прибыли к убыткам — 1 к 4. Это классическая фаза капитуляции после локальных вершин.
— По данным Bitwise, биткоин сейчас исторически недооценен относительно золота.
Когда BTC используют как залог вместо продажи — это признак долгосрочной уверенности, а не спекуляции. Крупные участники предпочитают брать ликвидность под биткоин, ожидая более высоких цен в будущем.
Одновременно рынок проходит “очистку”: слабые руки фиксируют убытки, а более терпеливый капитал постепенно перехватывает предложение.
— Фаза капитуляции может сопровождаться резкими выносами
— Если BTC продолжит доминировать, альты могут оставаться под давлением
— Любое ухудшение макрофона способно затянуть восстановление
Развороты почти всегда формируются в моменты, когда большинство уже разочаровано рынком. Но подтверждение тренда приходит только после возврата спроса и роста ликвидности.
Структура рынка всё больше напоминает позднюю стадию коррекции: доверие к BTC сохраняется, недооценка растет, слабые участники выходят.
Пока рано говорить о старте альтсезона — но фундамент для следующего импульса постепенно формируется.
Это не финансовый совет.

$BTC inability to convincingly break and hold above the ~$70,000 zone has put pressure on broader crypto market structure, and the reasons go beyond simple price levels:
First, resistance isn’t just a number — it’s where liquidity clusters and positioning is heaviest. Around $70K, there’s a major high-volume node from prior trading and a psychological threshold that prompts profit-taking. When BTC repeatedly fails to close above this zone with strong volume, it signals to many participants that demand is not yet sufficient to drive the next leg up.
Second, the broader market is still absorbing macroeconomic stress. Risk assets — crypto included — have been tied to wider sentiment around interest rate expectations, equities volatility, and capital flows. When traditional risk assets weaken, crypto often leads the downside because it’s a higher-beta space with more leveraged participants.
Third, liquidations and leverage unwinding exacerbate downturns. As BTC struggled at resistance, short-term traders who bought suppressed highs saw leverage erode, triggering forced exits and amplifying selling pressure. That pressure radiates outward — altcoins and memecoins tend to bleed harder than BTC because they have lower liquidity and higher speculative positioning.
Fourth, on-chain metrics show that long-term holders are not capitulating in droves. Supply on exchanges remains elevated relative to longer cycles, suggesting that the crash is driven more by position reshuffling and fear of missing liquidity rather than structural breakdown of conviction.
Finally, markets crash when fear outweighs belief in the near term. Technical breakdowns create self-fulfilling moves — once key supports are violated, weak holders exit, stops cascade, and sentiment turns negative. This doesn’t mean the cycle is over; it means the market is processing risk differently than it was when BTC was grinding sideways above key supports.
In short:
BTC failing at $70K matters because it signals a pause in demand versus supply at a major liquidity layer. The broader market often follows because BTC is the reference asset — when it struggles, speculative capital rotates out or gets squeezed. Crashes aren’t just price mechanics — they are behavior mechanics.
If price stabilizes above major supply clusters and macro risk appetite improves, the market can recover. If not, we remain in a corrective phase until clear structural validation returns.
