ATH

MCL-Jonathan

Come on, there’s always a diminishing of return with all assets. It still did an 8X from bottom to ATH. Within 4 years! Which other asset can beat that?

egej

I dont entirely disagree , certainly the absolute rock bottom could be in the low 50’s, however, demand remains high and is increasing, and we are trading at about 50% of the ATH, so in that sense, buying anything at half off it’s ATH is typically a very good value. I will continue to be a bull.

MCL-Jonathan

New users should still get in! We are all still very very early! Newer people get to learnt about Bitcoin during ATH, they bought some and got burnt, will probably have left by now. They will again learn about it the next all time high in 3 years time, then at that stage they will probably research and maybe come back. Same every cycle! Same for me too

bitcoin_islander

Buying and selling is more than about supply and demand. People sell low and buy high out of panic and life circumstances. You cant simplify it just saying "its lower than the ATH, so buy". Maybe newbs will fall for this, but those of us who've been here a couple of cycles know bitcoin retraces 70-80% each bear year, and we're only at a 50% drop now so lots of room to go lower.

egej

let me help all of you to see the broader horizon: Right now, BTC trading below 80 is basically the same as being able to buy BTC at half price - meaning the real price/value is the ATH, so i. other words, collectively the whales are buying/accumulating/moving coins to cold (long term) storage. When the whales slow or stop buying the price falls because they are the biggest drivers of demand. So the whales buy up to about 77/78 then stop buying to allow the price to cool, then start buying again at about 75/76.

Yeah, absolutely and after Strategy, holders of IBIT are the least likely to sell if you look at the cumulative net flows of the ETFs. It looks like they are back at ATH holdings already while retail is still stuck in a bear market.

Own-League1617

given volatility I went through several -80% value, just gotta make sure to make as much money as you possibly can when crypto is down decently large % from its previous ATH and only use disposable income so you never have to sell it at a loss

Emergency-Warthog-56

Short term stories don't really matter. Most previous stories are already forgotten. Bitcoin will reach new ATH's again and again and again.

Aromatic_Bed_8439

I think it's next ATH will be in the $150,000+ range

Previous_Blueberry_5

Hopeless case, I try not to even bring it up unless someone else brings it up first which rarely happens. Then I get lowkey excited because it’s a clear sign we’re still early despite ATH’s over $120K.

Short-Shopping3197

Personally I’m going to start moving it into more stable investments at the next ATH, within my CGT allowance each year. I’ve held for about 7 years now, it’s been a good investment and I think it’ll always have the role of digital gold as countries move towards digital currency, but I’ve got 15 years till retirement and i don’t want to pay tax on it all.

AcostaJA

It's right, an forced 4yr narrative prompted by traders rings, most of it's influencers today wakeup prompting an imminent crash to 50k , but institutional investors and ETF won't allow it, but meanwhile they could profit a bit more, I'm convinced they re betting on Iran war worsening so they could push again it's narrative, but I doubt it could go lower than 70k even before a nuclear attack on Iran cave bunkers, retailers don't have enough Bitcoin to do that, only institutions and HODLers and we are aware on how to win this game, no chance. I'm strongly convinced we could see an new ATH as soon as late June and likely break 200k later this year. Market volumes vs Bitcoin price tell the truth about who controls Bitcoin now, and aren't none of the small players, and are clearly aligned with Bull market, while allowing retailers to feed whales a bit more.

MrKillerKiller_

Yes. Obviously you’d have planned for it. If someone is worried that their DCA could be -50% they’d simply plan starting their scaling in during the depths of a bear market when we are in the -80% range from the ATH.

MCL-Jonathan

I feel you, I did the same. Took me two full cycles chasing alts before I rotated back into Bitcoin. Now in my 3rd cycle (recent ATH Oct 2025, sticking mainly with BTC… and the results are way better. Most predictions are noise, very few play out. Bitcoin is the only one that’s consistently proven itself over time. Sometimes the lesson just takes a cycle or two to learn. Once you been through a full Bitcoin cycle, from bear to ATH, you will have more conviction. [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)

Event if you start at the ATH it is never too late

IggyRazlis

This is a casino. Nobody, including Kevin O’Leary knows which slot machines hits the jackpot. Alts will follow the leaders up to ATH just because the entire crypto market will go up. Go long ALTS

Choice_Potato_6279

These are competitors and well established lol, way up from last bull run where ETH was flirting with 2017 ATH and if we do the usual 70% crash as last bear markets then ETH will go to 2022 lows, that's a fucking joke alt.

heyheyshinyCRH

I don't know what people's plans are but I opened shorts, a hawkish BoJ isn't to be fucked with lol. With stocks at ATH already amd ready for a pullback I think this news is enough to pull NASDAQ back in line and crypto will follow suit. It's already overextended quite a bit and ready for a mean reversion.

Competitive_Cook_939

You don’t have to be in the trade to miss out on the move upwards 😉 You won’t actually lose money but that is what you would have missed out on. (If Sol reaches ATH and you never bought)

s3426556

To maximize my portfolio options, last year I got into selling & buying stocks and completely forgot / ignore bitcoin. The stock market is really difficult to navigate especially when you have a full time job, requiring 50-60 hours working per week. Could have just investing the time and money into DCA-ing and sell 10-20% during the ATH in 2025, would have made much more money, plus the ease of mind. Well, at least now I know stock exchange is not for me. Bitcoin & ETFs are the ways to go.

Heavy-Inside-4608

You aren’t wrong on some points but that doesn’t make you right. Investing is an extremely emotionally challenging thing for many people, possibly even most people. Learning to invest means mastering your own personal emotional roller coaster. It also does help people prone to fomo in at an ATH in which case a long DCA actually would come out on top. If DCAing is the alternative to either not being able to pull the trigger at all to invest, or to prevent FOMOing at the worst possible timing (which statistically new and retail traders are known for) then DCA is GREAT! You shouldn’t trash it. Additionally it’s a peaceful mindset that actually works because it develops patience and consistency. 2 values that go a long long ways in investing. Your logic that it’s a terrible strategy is just FUD nonsense. There is not a debate happening about the best possible way to invest. If you knew all the magic sauce you would have more money then you God and you sure as heck wouldn’t be wasting your time on Reddit. The truth is that there is multiple paths to victory. Finding a path that works for you emotionally and financially and allows you to enter the market at all puts you ahead of roughly 80% or more of the population.

Nino2112

Buying ATH with all my savings. Kinda sucks but I believe in it, so not going to sell soon. I'm just a bit frustrated because now that it's more than 50% lower, I can't buy anything hahaha

HypnoticonymLow

SOL keeps dipping and fading out of the conversation. You think it still can go back to its ATH?

Strange-Term-4168

It’s a sign of calling it like I see it. Your original statement is wrong and your current statement is wrong as well. Look at bitcoin holders from 3 years ago. It went from 15k to 120k. How is that stagnant? Even now at 79k they are way up. Far outpacing s&p. You are just cherry picking the ath from 5 years ago and comparing it to a current low. Buying anything at an ATH is not a good strategy. I’ve been dcaing into bitcoin since 2018. Buy every paycheck and it has far outpaced s&p. Your entire argument is that bitcoin is a bad investment because some people bought an at all time high exactly 5 years ago and then didn’t perfectly time selling at 120k. You’re an idiot. If you have been DCAing for 5 years, you’re still outpacing investing in s&p. So your argument is wrong anyway you look at it and you can’t even follow your own braindead logic.

TheRealDeviouz

I sold some last yr in summer and built a new pc with it. At this time Btc was at ATH and prices for pc hardware were reasonable. This exact moment came with regrets "don't stop DCA" "I can't afford it so I don't buy it" Now I think differently.. It's when I started treating BTC as a currency

TedW

There are also countless posts about people being scammed after clicking a link, rug pulled by unscrupulous creators, coins crashing from ATH to nothing in minutes when the contract was exploited, etc. > read the documentation of protocols before investing..... That's called trusting them.

MrKillerKiller_

Vibes are utterly worthless. Ignore like the plague. We are simply in a wave 4 trying to be a last wave 5. If it bonks 90k ish on lower rsi lower volume it may actually be a bearish 1-2 to start the bear run and the 3 down could be fast and bloody below 60k. If not it could meet or break ATH in another wave 5 top to possibly end the bull run. Be prepared for both. Expect nothing. Ignore vibes

Savings-Leading4618

Blackrock represents a lot of institutional players, so yes, they buying means institutions are buying which is quite bullish for the price. During the drawdown, ETF's were net sellers. If we are gonna have new ATH, they need to be net buyers.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Why wasn’t this enthusiasm there in the 2021 bull market? We should’ve hit previous ATH before the 2020 halving if enthusiasm was all it took. Saying it was all due to the cycle therefore ignores the variable(s) that makes cycles possible then imho.

dataCollector42069

How is BTC considered recovered when it is about 60% of the value of its ATH while SP500 and NASDAQ are all time highs?

NilNow

4 year cycle didn’t repeat to a T on the way up, when it crossed ATH before halving. Left lots of people annoyed like me who thought they had more time. So not sure why everyone is so convinced it’ll repeat to a T on the way down…

user_name_checks_out

> Can anyone explain to me why you think Bitcoin is going down in price based on any current data, news, political events, whatever, WITHOUT referencing PREVIOUS Cycles? No, because the cycle is the reason that it is going down. Or, more precisely, the cycle is the reason it went up - the ATH of $126K was triggered by the halving. (Yes, I know, we hit the ATH before the halving. Bit of early enthusiasm on the part of the market.)

TomorrowFinancial468

Honestly if they just put it all in bitcoin they'd probably be fine, then sell at ATH and buy twice the eth

I’ll show you something from the past 9 weeks that refutes your point. Iran is currently facing economic disaster. The government has been stacking up sanctions and the local currencies value has evaporated. Since the US has decided to start a war with Iran bitcoin adoption has skyrocketed and Iran is now one of the countries with the highest levels of adoption with around 1 in 6 Iranians using bitcoin. https://www.etftrends.com/coinshares-content-hub/1-in-6-iranians-turn-bitcoin-amid-crisis/ There are multiple other examples of bitcoin being adopted and used regularly in times of economic uncertainty or outright collapse. When Russia invaded Ukraine bitcoin and crypto usage skyrocketed and now Ukraine has one of the highest adoption rates in the world. Bitcoin/crypto was not only the chosen medium of exchange because of economic turmoil it was also the chosen medium of exchange for getting value through a war zone. Where regular infrastructure was damaged or destroyed and that includes energy which would mean having to deal with blackouts. https://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/03/the-role-cryptocurrency-crypto-huge-in-ukraine-war-russia/ Venezuela has one of the worst economies in the world and as a result it also has one of the highest adoption rates for bitcoin. Argentina is another where they had to deal with hyperinflation so many of them turned to bitcoin. Gold is a great store of value. Bitcoin is objectively superior. You are correct that nation states buy and hoard gold. You are incorrect about them not being interested in bitcoin though. Multiple countries already own a significant amount while a few are actively mining it and at least one uses it as legal tender. All over the world governments are looking at ways to integrate bitcoin into the national reserves. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2025/01/03/nations-states-turn-to-bitcoin-as-a-strategic-reserve-asset/ If there are power cuts the people using fiat are more screwed than bitcoin users. How will you access cash if the cash machines aren’t working and the bank is shut down because of the power failure? With bitcoin all you need is a generator and connection to a network via starlink and you can send bitcoin anywhere at anytime immediately. There is a reason the Ukrainians on the front lines as well as the civilians displaced in the war zones have overwhelmingly adopted bitcoin because you can use it anywhere, it weighs nothing you just put your wallet in your pocket and you can run and you’re not at the mercy of institutions or bureaucracies trying to operate systems reliant on the physical infrastructure around them amidst the chaos of a war. Additionally an open source project has successfully performed the first end to end transaction without connecting to the internet by using a mesh network. Power failure? Not an issue if you’re using bitcoin. https://d-central.tech/bitcoin-over-meshtastic-btc-mesh/ The inflationary monetary system we currently have would not function you are correct. We don’t need, nor do we benefit, from this model. Fiat relies on encouraging spending because people need to keep the money flowing in order to service the ever increasing mountains of debt created by banks lending money. Sound money doesnt have this issue. You say that sound money simply would not work yet for most of history they used sound money based in gold. It worked just fine. The US used sound money until 1972. At that time a single bread winner could afford a spouse, 2 kids, 2 cars, a house and take vacations every year. Now after 50+ years of a fiat money system the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, buried under record levels of debt and most people under 30 will never be able to afford a home. I argue that fiat does not work, let the modern world be my evidence to support my claim. Since 2009 bitcoin has appreciated 7.9 BILLION percent (using current price not ATH). The USD did not depreciate that much so bitcoins price appreciates from more than printing USD. Verifiable scarcity and widening adoption are why bitcoin primarily has gained value. Though it has also benefited from the significant and continual depreciation of the dollar. Now that I have responded to your rebuttals would you mind enlightening me on the few things i fail to understand from a macro point of view? I love learning new things so hit me with that knowledge bomb amigo!

Competitive_Cook_939

And what will you do if the price reaches ATH without ever touching $45?

lifeanon269

I don't pay too much attention to the ATH prices. They're great and exuberant, but they're driven by leverage and hype, not actual organic growth. Instead, pay attention to the annual low price. The growth there is driven by actual adoption of people willing to buy, use, and hold bitcoin through the darkest of markets because they actually believe in it. If that's what you focus on, you'll realize that $16k in 2022 was a bullish price and that's the signal among the noise.

Hikiko_Mori

It is called all-time high for a reason. If 29k wasn't the highest price attained since its inception then it shouldn't be called as such. In fact even 48k, the highest price attained that year, shouldn't be called ATH either because BTC already went as high as 69k on November 2021, so that should be the ATH as of 2023. Just call it a local high if that level acted as a major resistance for some time. Man, I can't believe I am feeding an AI with terminology and stuff. Might as well work on those data annotation jobs lol.

Peak conversations while waiting for ATH

Hikiko_Mori

And this my friends is one of the reasons to not rely on AI for information gathering. The bot mentioned 29k as ATH in 2023 when in fact 48k is the highest price BTC was able to get to that year. Seriously, get your facts straight AI!

Romanizer

Yeah, the ATH of 2023 at $29k. Pure FOMO, good times.

Romanizer

Yeah, we have a lot to catch up regarding price. I don't remember if Bitcoin ever was so heavily underpriced. For me, the cycle broke when we reached a new ATH in March 2024.

I see what you are saying but I think our low ATH is just a lackluster cycle. That's just my opinion though based on patterns of previous cycles. step 1. there is excitement and it levels up goes steady levels up goes steady. Step 2. hits a peak step 3. Dumps low step 4. Last pump before full bear all the way to about 6 months before the halving.. Each step can vary in length of time and it can be a little different depending speculation surrounding it but the overall pattern fits this. I'll be wrong one day but I don't think it'll be this time.

nikopilly

The 2025 ATH monthly close was 114k (126k was the ATH). The 2026 monthly close bottom is 66k for now (59k was the bottom touched by the shadow of the monthly candle). A 40%+ correction for bitcoin doesn't change the bull trend. I consider we are a in a bear market only if we have a correction of more than 50%. I don't think halvings are still as relevant as before for the price of bitcoin. Bear market, bull market? Let's see what happens with an open mind.

nikopilly

We never entered in a bear market on this cycle. If you see the 2025 ATH monthly close and the 2026 low monthly close, you notice only a 40% correction. We are still in the bull market.

--PG--

Nah it's s too late. Already under $3. That's like a drop of 2500% from ATH! /s using Trump Mathematics(tm)

I didn’t buy life changing amounts back then, so it was easy to let it sit, all the ATH since wouldn’t have significantly impacted my financial situation to sell. So I certainly wasn’t going to panic sell at the lows. I like to think that if I did have large amounts of bitcoin I’d have just as easily been able to hold on, but who knows. Maybe I’m wrong.

HSuke

It generally refers to US stocks. (Even international stocks are really close to their ATH.)

Emanuelsil

October 2025 was ATH (until today) that’s for sure.

camba619

BTC will hit around $86k-94k by end of Nay and will hit a cycle low of about $36k-44k at the end of October. Then we start a new ATH run. Keep this and give me my praises on November 1st

cwal12

This is such a common thing to say, yet I always laugh because I still hold 2013 bitcoin. Some people don’t panic sell, some people don’t try to cash in when it’s ATH. Some people hodl.

MoverWhoStacksSats

This is a good point actually the clearest signal and nobody talks about it enough. ATH before the halving had never happened before. The cycle was already rewriting itself before most people noticed. Good point.

CatsGotANosebleed

I bought most of my bitcoin in 2021 around 62k and averaged to around 40k, it’s nice that the old ATH is now the bottom (seemingly), but with the massive inflation that has happened in the last 5 years, the gains don’t seem that incredible. Still, it’s a good return and I plan on holding for many years still (tying to save up for a house…). 

edryer

Markets at ATH BTC/ETH barely moving from lows

lefix

It is just my impression that whenever BTC reached a new ATH the alt coins from the previous cycle did usually not reach a new ATH. Instead there was always some new alt coin entering the stage. I think people new to crypto regret missing out on the early days, and try to put their money on the latest hype, hoping for it to be the next big thing, dreaming of those 10,000x gains people made back then.

pfftlolbrolollmao

We are still in the bear market. Halving is April 2028 we will see a pump in anticipation of the halving about 6 months before. But the bull run will start about 6 months after the halving. So late 2028 probably reach ATH in the early months of 2029.

evandollardon

why? If I did back in 2022 and missed the ATH... I would be really sad :D

Electrical_Hawk6648

Yes ... Soon 81k+ and after war new ATH is possible 💫

MCL-Jonathan

Sadly😓 many coins will never return to the recent ATH. Beside doge being a meme coin with no utility, likely it will continue to bleed when bitcoin goes lower as we’re in the bear phase. Historical trends, Bitcoin’s bottom may form end of year. I guess you can wait for Bitcoin to pump back so that it lift all other tokens with it. But timing will probably be next year. But yes think about taking profits early for crypto/altcoins/meme coins. Don’t expect doge to go to Valhalla because it’s an old token and the narrative for the next cycle will probably not be old dog tokens anymore. Where possible gradually rotate into bitcoin. You want to hold as much of bitcoin as possible all the time! [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)

colemusic1

Lump sums in ETF’s is honestly much more practical, let alone monthly DCA’ing. It’s not necessarily that dca’ing BTC regardless of price is a “wrong” decision, it’s more the question of whether it’s the most practical one. If someone is buying btc at any price, whether it’s at its absolute ATH or near the bottom, but their plan is to not sell it whatsoever for years and years to come then in that case? I’d say it’s pretty plausible. But you’d be compounding your net worth significantly more by actually following cycles and keeping an eye on macro factors — that way you’re not having to try and time tops or bottoms, but you can buy low, sell aggressively at highs and simply repeat. Doing that makes it so you end up with a lot more BTC later on if you end up wanting to simply hold it for years and years rather than DCA at any price. ETF’s makes more sense to blind DCA at any price, any time, or even a big lump sum. We have over a century of data for this versus BTC which has only been institutionalised into brokerage platforms just less than 2 years ago. Each to their own though, it’s more about what a persons strategy is. I’d rather not hold onto any crypto asset if i’m already seeing a 2x, knowing it’ll have a deep correction at some point anyways

Individual_Job_6601

Yeah taking profits at ATH makes sense, I just never know when is actual peak vs just temporary high you know

Vino1980

I didn't understand taking profits until this last ATH, I took some and glad I did. After an ATH it always takes massive dip. I plan on taking profits when it hits $150k.

You probably need to have an entry and exit plan in mind before getting in. What also helped me most was to have a HODL Bitcoin bag (where you buy and HODL forever and never sell) as well as a SWING bag (where you buy low sell high and take some lifestyle chips during the ATH). Anyway, now is the best time to get into Bitcoin due to the bear market, you may have a window from now until q2 next year to be in position! So DCA strategically is the best way to get started with Bitcoin! [Bitcoin Bear Market DCA Playbook](https://youtu.be/JXvr49ECTuo)

SoundMoneyWade

I tend to agree. One pump to 80k doesn't confirm a new ATH any more than it confirms a cycle top. Could go either way. The DCA approach you're taking is the right response to that uncertainty. It removes the need to be right about timing, which is difficult to do.

tapakip

You are young. Not demeaning. I know this in 2 ways. One, you said it. Two, you think we're obviously in a bull run. Your timeline is way too short. Expand it and tell me, does this obviously look like a bull run to you, still? [https://imgur.com/a/x1fyGjb](https://imgur.com/a/x1fyGjb) And that timeframe is a mere 6 months. That's nothing. Expand it out. [https://imgur.com/a/KLGeskv](https://imgur.com/a/KLGeskv) Yeah, it's been performing well off the bottom. But that happens every single time. Is it a good time to buy? Arguably yes. But don't be surprised if it's not done bottoming out, either. It's historically cyclical, and on a 4 year cycle. Is it possible to break a 4 year cycle by going back to new ATH's right now? Sure. Anything's possible. But is it likely? Probably not. Just buy when it looks like prices are depressed, hold for as long as you don't need the money, and you'll be fine. Take a long, long horizon view of things and you'll be sitting pretty.

Secret_Operative

Only $48k between here and ATH! 

MCL-Jonathan

Can I please ask, why is the prediction only going up only? Assuming there will likely be a bear market that comes after the next ATH around Mid year 2029? So maybe 2030 should be a bear market for bitcoin?

Coming up on almost 3 years now without selling anything. Bought my first chunk in early 2022, right before everything went to hell, and kept stacking through the whole bear. The "crypto is dead" takes on every sub, all of it. I probably would've panic sold, but I'd started earning on it at nехо. Still almost sold at 15k though, not gonna lie. Obviously, a very different feeling now than it was in June 2022, but even with this run, it's been a rollercoaster.

This is a great question that I've been thinking about too - I think there are some clues that show this is the start of a proper recovery vs a mid-bear bounce within the 4y cycle. One clue: look at the weekly RSI and compare it to the previous cycle - it looks much more like the bear has bottomed with a proper trend change vs merely being a mid-bear bounce. Another clue: we're on our way to closing a 4th green weekly candle in this "bear market". Last cycle, we maxed out at 2 consecutive green weeks during the bear. We'll never have certainty, but I think these are some decent clues that we're looking at something different here. Fundamentally, I think this makes quite a lot of sense too because we didn't have the kind of retail-mania-driven blowoff top that characterised previous cycles - none of the classic top signals were flashing. In the '21 cycle, we had the full on retail mania run up and double-topped; we then slid 52% from the ATH in 77 days, followed by a mid-bear bounce of 46% lasting 63 days. This cycle, we've had the same c.52% decline but it took 119 days - 55% slower, which suggests that there was less froth in the market at this ATH vs the previous. We're now 77 days on from "the bottom" and the 46% mid-bear bounce would take us to $87.7k. If I'm wrong and we're still following the 4y cycle, the price will fail to break $90k and resume its downward journey - 55% slower would put this roughly 3wk away (14/05/26) and there are plenty of experts calling for this. If I'm right and the 4y cycle is dead, there will likely be a lot of indecision around $90k followed by a decent breakout, accelerated by a portion of the cycle believers flipping to "bottom's in, we're going up". The next checkpoint that will put the final nail in the coffin of the 4y cycle will be making a fresh ATH way ahead of schedule (not to mention, after "only" collapsing 50% in the "bear market"). I've stuck with the technicals, but there is obviously a rich fundamental narrative as to why the market structure is so different vs previous cycles re. retail vs institutions. I think we're seeing this play out in reduced volatility and the breakdown of the 4y retail-driven cycle. STRC is also turning into a BTC blackhole that will have a positive influence on price to put it lightly.

My mom passed away in 2016 and I was left a little bit of money, enough for a nice 2-week vacation lets say. And I met this local expat guy while out surfing in Costa Rica and later I met him and his girlfriend for dinner and drinks. At dinner, he explained the whole BTC blockchain technology to me, which I thought was a total bullshit Ponzi scheme. Fast forward a couple of months and I see one of these BTC vending machines on the UCSB campus. I thought, what the hell, and bought 3 BTC thinking, “if anything, if it is a Ponzi maybe I'll get in early enough that I can at least make a couple thousand bucks. Fast forward about a year later and each one was worth $1200-$1300. I cashed one to get my money back and saved the other two. Then a year later each one was worth $16K, so I sold another one and kept one. I ended up going back down to Costa Rica in January of 2020 and met up with the EX Pat guy. The guy now has an incredible house right on the ocean and I hung out with him for a week he obviously did well with all the BTC he purchased… This time he tells me that ETH is the next BTC and that I should definitely buy some. ETH in early 2020 was like $125-$149 give or take. I get home and two months later Covid hits and I'm stuck at home and I see ETH was like 115 dollars, I knew by this guy's house and lifestyle he was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky, so I said, “F it it's the end of the world anyway YOLO” and bought 50 ETH! Boom! Within a year, 50 ETH was worth $60K, I cashed enough to buy another BTC. Then in 2021 AGAIN a year later in March, BTC and ETH are at ATH crazy money… The rest is history. No bullshit! And no I didn't buy more of either. I cashed everything put a down payment on a house in the US and bought a house in Costa Rica. All because I was making stupid decisions and got lucky. I also started spending ridiculous amounts of money on stupid shit. I'm lucky I still have a house to still live in now and can Airbnb Costa house, which pay pays for the upkeep the and my vacations down there. 🫡🤙

Regardless if your invested now or not, it’s still effectively timing the market if your planning on doing it during the halving period. If your saving money on the side now intending to invest in bitcoin, then you will put a lump sum in at the halving event which could potentially be a lot more than it is today, therefore dca would still be the best option here. Bitcoins price generally starts slowly going up before the halving event so, although past doesn’t represent future results it is likely that the price may be higher than today. To put it in perspective, btc halved in 2024, i got in just before after looking more into btc. I was under the impression that it likely will not shoot up in value until after the halving event like every other example in the past. But for the first time in any of btc history, btc went to its ATH before the halving. The point with timing other market doesn’t depend on if your invested yet or not, it’s more if you plan to do it you could be getting a worse price then than you can today. If you do do it at a worse price and then it drops you lose a lot, however with dca it decreases chances of potentially big losses.

ATH will be lower because buying pressure is higher than usual? It did 8x from last bottom, so we should at least 10x from the 60k bottom over the next months.

thenamelessone7

ATH in, 2021 was 69420 ~ 70k. 70k to 126k isn't 2x

thenamelessone7

Triple? Don't make me launch. If btc only had a 50% drawdown from ATH then next ATH will be 150-170k max. It didn't do 2x ATH to ATH last time, it definitely isn't doing 2x this time.

Scottex99

I mean when it goes to ATH again, technically they’re not wrong lol But yeah defo take some off the table when things are going parabolic and stupid, too easy to get burned that way

Awkward_Potential_

No two cycles are identical. We never reached an ATH before the halving. Until we did. We may never see the dips you're predicting. If we do, I'll buy then too. Plenty of people will be sidelined because of your line of thinking.

burusai

Yeah. It really comes down to when the strait is opened again. Oil prices are irrational right now. Supply is drying up quickly. But for some reason the fallout doesn’t seem priced in. SPY setting new ATH in the middle of chaos.

Lump sum beats DCA if done in large enough amounts, but that is called "timing the market" for some reson around here. I don't know about everyone, but when it plummeted to $16K, I wasn't asking anyone "Will it go lower?" but bought as much as I could. Now that amount in sats is worth almost 5 times as much in $. It doesn't take much financial acuity to see that if an asset becomes a lot cheaper and you believe in it to perform later to buy more of it. If you don't really believe in it, then why buy at ATH? Burning money? I first bought in summer 2017, not having much conviction about BTC, so decided to cash out my initial investment on the run-up to $19k, playing with house money after that. From then on slowly educated myself and got the conviction, so much so that in 2020 I liquidated my meager pension fund and bought BTC from it. Best idea ever!

I participated in the Mainframe Token air drop and used multiple ETH addresses. I got $14k (peak ATH) of MFT in an airdrop and just sat on it as the price plummeted. Eventually I traded it all for 6 XMR. I participated in the BOMB token airdrop and received 200 BOMB which quickly ran to $14 per token making my free airdrop worth $2800. I just sat on it again but now those tokens are only worth $41 total. So those decisions did not work out at all. Well, aside from the 6 Monero tokens gained for free I suppose.

In the near term 80k is more of a psychological resistance than the 79k celebrated by this post. Obviously 100k and ATH are more important. That goes without saying.

AcostaJA

The funny part are those profiting from the r yearw astrology. Next narrative adjust: Bitcoin to fall to 40k after it beaks 100k (they adjust the fear threshold as the previous got burned), then we got an new ATH and they still say "the cycle ends at October, pricey to go down to 30k...)

LorenzoVonMatterh0rn

Don’t, nobody knows what’s going to happen. Just keep DCAing. If you want to sell, wait until the next ATH

> BTW, picking peak points for your argument is not indicative of a bull run. *While you proceed to pick peak TA tea leaf points to fit your narrative that we didn’t have a bull run* ???  3 years is also a very short amount of time.  Just because you are moon boi inclined who thinks number only goes up, or that we didn’t hit a bull run because we didn’t hit $x or hit some arbitrary cross point on your TA doesn’t mean we didn’t have a bull run lol. Had you bought the local top in 2021, you had the opportunity to double your money.  Had you bought any of the dip from the local top to 19k, you doubled to 6x’d your money. Had you bought the prior ATH of 2021, in 2024, you again had the opportunity to double your money.  The S&P takes about 7 years to do that. This outpaces provided you actually capitalize on the bull runs. Maybe you don’t? Its a bull run in every metric of the word aside from your tea leave TA that isn’t really worth anything. But hey if you want to stay hung up on semantics, stay hung up. It really makes no difference to me I sold most of my 2021 stack at 115k. Oh no I missed 125k!  And I bought my whole initial back at 63-64k. And DCA. Oh no I maybe missed the bottom if we dip more through the year! Yeah maybe but the cycles gonna cycle and it’s a hell of a lot easier to utilize correctly if you don’t stay hung up on semantic arbitrary points.

Wake me up when we hit a new ATH

Commercial-Ad90

ATH is the real test. Hit that and bears and “cycle profits” have 0 excuses

Laukess

For me, it's all about the next ATH. Previously, we've broken the last ATM in Q4 of the halving year. Last time it was Q1, but it was not by a lot, and it wasn't until Q4 we started to actually move above it and leave it behind. I don't think that enough to say we've broken the cycle. The ATH was way lower than I would have expected, and that's the main reason I think we've broken the cycle, even though we're still clearly following it. (I hope this makes sense, like if you lose your faith but you still go to church) I highly doubt we'll have to wait until Q4 2028 before we break the ATH again. If it happens before then, that'll be my confirmation that the cycle has broken.

BetterSeesaw

Nobody knows, but…. Last cycle everyone expected to see another ATH after the halving and it happened before. Maybe the ETF’s are speeding things up price movement wise.

Yeagerist15

The cycle isn’t broken your guys interpretation of it is tho. Must be new money or folks hung up on semantics  Anyone saying 30k October is a fool. They just pulling that % out their ass since it dropped by X % last time.  Too semantically hung up on the exact % drop. But the cycle says we will have dip and crab walk. And we had dip and crab walk. We will have more dip and more crab walk.  It’s the same reason you had folks saying the bull run was broken cause we peaked in Oct and not……November? Or why it was broken because we hit a new ATH a few weeks pre halving last cycle instead of a few months after. I just follow the power law and the cycle motions and don’t get hung up on the exact %s

jbreeze42

Bottoms don’t hit for 11-13 months after ATH. Nothing is changing except being patient and honest with yourself

BTCMachineElf

The hype cycle got front loaded; ATH before the halving, etc. I think the four year hype cycles are playing out to become a thing of the past. The havings are no longer a driving factor and Bitcoin does not want to play along with those who buy it just to sell the top of the cycle, as those who are predictable are easy to prey upon. In my opinion Bitcoin is going to start grinding up the hypeless bottom, enriching its believers more than those who see it as a fiat tool.
