Every cycle feels different.But structurally, it’s the same story.
2017 → $21K → -80%
2021 → $69K → -77%
Recent cycle → $126K → -70%+
The numbers grow. Human behavior doesn’t.
Parabolic rise.
Euphoria.
Overconfidence.
Then a brutal reset.
Bitcoin itself isn’t breaking — leverage is. Weak positioning is. Excess risk is.
When global liquidity expands, capital flows aggressively into high-beta assets like BTC. When liquidity tightens, leverage unwinds and fear replaces FOMO.
Volatility is not a flaw in Bitcoin. It’s a structural feature of a scarce, emerging asset. Most investors don’t lose money because Bitcoin corrects.
They lose because they:
• Overuse leverage
• Ignore position sizing
• Hold without a plan
• React emotionally
A 70% drawdown in
$BTC Bitcoin is historically normal — not comfortable, but normal. Smart investors focus on survival first. Profit comes to those who manage risk through the cycle.
