ATH

Work_phone

Or. And hear me out. They didn’t buy btc just last year as a get rich quick thing and they’ve held btc for multiple years already. It has proven utility for those people and is making their lives better pretty consistently. They actually took some profits as it skyrocketed over the last few years and expected it to crash on time like every other cycle. They are a bit surprised it didn’t have a blowoff top and understand this cycle has a bit different than the last having a ATH before the halfing but that may be because that is now a more common thing for people to know about so it got front runs. TLDR; Bitcoin is dead

IndianaGeoff

We are not close to an All Time High. Lump some is fine, but DCA would be fine too. Don't lump sum into a ATH.

Dannyspud

I love the all caps energy haha. Yeah I mean from October high to current price BTC is about 28% down. Not exactly a bear market more like a pullback in my eyes. Beginning Jan 2025 high to Apr 2025 low was \~32% and then we went on to a new ATH

harvested

Someone sent me a screenshot to a post asking if they should sell their ETH for bitcoin cause it hasn't done anything in 5 years. It made me realize why so many shitcoiners come to this sub lately. They want to get a glimpse of what it looks like to make a meaningful new ATH in the last half decade. Tom Lee has got them all dressed up with nowhere to go. They just want a wiff of what it's like to have a coin that doesn't have a development team or a 'foundation' (whatever that is) constantly selling on them.

@HegeCoin tier A and climbing with market cap of 1.74M survived by 2 bear markets! Have 3 video games and more! Also have had some huge buys in the last few days could easily see this going over it's ATH which was 0.04 https://preview.redd.it/3yiaaxi7tlcg1.jpeg?width=2520&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68890fae85b9c88ad6db20598be1b66eb8cde587

Probabilities are measurable based on the wave 4/5’s price action we are in right now. We are still in range for a final wave 5 top breaking ATH that will tell us how low the bear market probabilities are. But there is an over 95% chance Bitcoin will be seeing much lower prices than this from a cycle perspective. Do you not know probabilities? EW is kind of trading 101 no?

Decentralization-God

Well, the ATH is 126k which is much higher than 90k but I still consider BTC expensive and not the best choice. Its market cap is so big that to move the price you need huge amounts. Then I think BTC already possess “obsolency risk” (can be replaced, adoption and real use rises) which is red banner for many, so take it calmly bro 😄 With good alts I do bigger profits because they are more volatile, more undervalued and even safer longterm - but OK, it is not for everyone. You can do 20% with BTC if you are lucky enough, and patient enough. However such % profit I will do at least 5-6 times with different coins/projects, but more likely it will be measured in 100% (2x, 3x, 4x) and that is comparable with 300k BTC price 🤷‍♂️

anonymousbutme

I’d put in BTC and ETH around these levels preferably around 85-87k and 2.9k if given and get out March peak. Stay cash after and then invest long term by DCAing lower and not putting all in one go. NFA. And DYOR. Also 126k was not ATH of any bull run, it’s yet to come.

Ultimately, you should really only be holding BTC, ETH, and any alt-coin that you can stake for APY.  Everything else is a gamble.  Taking the loss for taxes and converting them to BTC will actually get me close to recovering my losses by the next 2029 ATH. 

cryptoETH_jazz

How are you down -90%…. I sell mine on DCAs.. realize less loss alts are a craps shoot… gotta time them right cause it doesn’t seem they recover as well at BTC.. Once the cycle starts again even if you sell at a loss as long as you keep buying and repeating you will catch the swing up simply being in it…. 💰 2020 coins ‘20ATH in ‘24 cycle.. I am sure 2024 alt coins will so similar in ‘28… they never really regain that old HYPE ATH… will they? Who TF knows…

ozera202

Irritated I didn’t sell during the Trump rally even though we didn’t break ATH . It was such a lack lustre run which only lasted about like 6 weeks

thats_gotta_be_AI

You’re right. For some reason I thought it was next year. Well, I still think it will break the pattern of 80% drawdown from recent ATH. However, yes, it could still fall to 60-70k range. You can tell I’m pulling nunbers out of my ass. This IS financial advice 😜

thats_gotta_be_AI

If its upside has been restrained (last ATH was just 82% of previous ATH, whereas it was 350% on previous cycle), then I predict the downside to be commensurately restrained. I predict the low may already even be in. However, it will chop sideways in a range ($85k to $95k) until the next halving year. Just my opinion of course.

robertorgg

Thank you for your prompt reply, I’m kinda now to this world so I’m glad to hear what people think. I never heard of it, I’ll do some research. Thank you ! I only have one question. Right now a lot of coin are very low price so I’m willing to buy but why should a coin 30x down from its ATH go up again ? If it was a good project shouldn’t it be more stable ? I’m not talking about AMP in particular Wouldn’t it be more logical for a new coin to go up rather than old project to raise again ? Another question is how to keep up with the release of new projects ? Is there any website ? Sorry if you find my questions trivial but I’m a noob.

jwz9904

we can just laugh about it and be proud of our bagholders medal. MOST of our alts will never reach ATH

SweggyD97

Most experts I listen to believe the cycle extends into 2026 and we’ll see a new ATH. Point is none of the experts actually know what will happen with such a small asset

Hitachi22

Pathetic crypto markets don't even pump when stocks are hitting new ATH everyday.

Autoboots

NCT and ATH because they have intrinsic value and real projects, also because they're undervalued and it's a long-term investment. Easily a 10x gain. But you have to be invested because they can double at any moment, and there are small signs of an altseason. If you have any doubts, grok will give you an answer for both of them.

Initial_Influence550

This year something’s telling me pick FIL/SIA/ Arweave. Arweave is my bull pick. FIL is my watchlist favorite from last year and SIA IS A HEDGE. KEY WORDS SEC AGO - Ar from my research today just few secs ago. Only because I’m researching based upon ATH vs current price vs consumer friendly utilization with least knowledge of additional equipment needed.

VariatCA

Moreso that all the gamblers who had zero understanding of what they were even buying, and zero intention of ever using or utilizing their crypto on-chain, realized it wasn't just an only-up pipedream and alts/memecoins lost their momentum. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and some alts being actually utilized and integrated in the world were finding mass institutional support and finding new ATH's.

ReliantToker

It was at ATH 4 months ago you daft monkey

VariatCA

The *entire* premise of the 4-year cycle is just pointing a small handful of timeframes as far as a decade in the past, and trying to draw correlations between them to predict the future regardless of any macro-economic conditions currently shaping the market. It's quite literally "cosmic-destiny astrology" to hear 4-year-cyclists arrogantly proclaim they know exactly what levels crypto will drop to, and when, based on stuff like "well in 2017 it took 14 months to drop from ATH to the lows, soooo..." The biggest giveaway is that you will **never** actually hear them describe or explain the logistical mechanisms behind it. It's so easy to just say "yeah we started dumping late-2021 because of the halving" rather than appreciate and understand the underlying causes of why all global markets began falling in tandem. Maybe 8 years ago when each Halving would cause issues with crimped supply and miners existing their stockpile to realize gains, but so far since the 2024 halving that mining is getting completely absorbed by demand.

Priced in gold we didn’t have a ATH since quite a long time..

BoerZoektVeuve

Jumping in at ATH seems a little bit too late, but btc keeps on surprising, so who knows!

Romanizer

Okay, let's say we ignore march 2024 and agree that the last cycle top was in 2021: what has to happen to break the cycle theory? New ATH this year?

VariatCA

Few people appreciate that stocks are in that *exact same boat* as crypto recently. Since late-October, the S&P is up exactly 1 point from its ATH. Meanwhile, Tech (the Nasdaq) is down on the 1D / 5D / 1M chart and is still down 2% overall from its own late-October high. Meanwhile, even many of the Mag-7 are down *bad* from their own highs. Netflix -32%, Meta -18%, NVDA -12%, Apple -10%, Microsoft -14%, and only the likes of Google & Amazon are anywhere near their highs. The entire market is in a state of stasis, desperately searching for a bullish catalyst to inspire renewed confidence.

whatwilly0ubuild

The ATH question and the TradFi integration concern are kind of separate things and I'd push back on linking them too directly. On the ATH question, nobody knows. Anyone claiming certainty about BTC price in 2026 is selling you something. The macro setup with potential rate cuts, ETF flows maturing, and post-halving supply dynamics all point toward bullish conditions, but crypto has a way of doing the opposite of whatever seems obvious. Our clients doing portfolio work treat BTC price predictions as entertainment, not analysis. The TradFi integration trend you're describing is interesting but I don't think it's a liquidity drain concern. If anything it's the opposite. Exchanges offering stocks and gold are trying to capture wallet share from people who would otherwise move funds off-platform to trade those assets elsewhere. They're keeping users in the ecosystem rather than losing them to Robinhood or traditional brokers. The money wasn't going to sit in BTC anyway, it was going to leave. The narrative dilution argument is more philosophical. Yeah, Bitcoin started as an alternative to traditional finance and now exchanges are becoming one-stop shops that include TradFi. But Bitcoin's value proposition doesn't depend on exchanges being crypto-purist. It depends on Bitcoin's own properties, the fixed supply, censorship resistance, settlement finality. Those don't change because Bitget lets you trade gold. What I'd actually watch is institutional allocation trends and on-chain accumulation patterns, not exchange product roadmaps. The people moving serious capital into BTC aren't doing it through the same platforms retail uses for gold speculation. The maturity framing is probably right. Early crypto was ideological, current crypto is financial infrastructure. That's just how adoption works.

Kesilisms

Metals go down sometimes. Silver ATH was $48 in 2011, and some people bought at the top and had to wait a decade to break even. You need to understand that these assets are off ramps to the dollar. The dollar devalues faster than the S&P 500 can grow even with compounding when you look at 10 year, 20 year chart. When these assets go down, you either buy more or you hold. In the long run, they are forced to go up due to our monetary policy. Just don't invest more than you can afford, you don't want to be forced to sell in a bear market for a loss because your car needs new brakes or something. Bitcoin has the biggest upside advantage still, and the most volitility. Gold has the lowest volatility, lowest risk, but higher storage costs. Silver, still underpriced, has the most fuckery on price manipulation due to COMEX. Metals anyways have a premium when you buy which is hard to get back when you sell. Bitcoin doesn't have that problem. I would prioritize Bitcoin, understand how to operate a Trezor, do proper cold storage and HODL. If the Shit Hits The Fan, your Bitcoin is liquid everywhere in the world and you travel anywhere that offers a good life. Much harder to do with Metals. Cant walk through an airport with Gold and Silver bullion without risk of confiscation.

If the 4 year cycle finally breaks it could be doable. We saw how from last cycle ATH to this it barely made 2x. Returns diminish with each cycle, but strong corrections still happen because the 4 year cycle crowd is set on "bear year sell all" Once it's broken and we start to follow the rest of the market, trust can return and we wont see these 70% drops. With the institutional money rolling in, BTC could get more scarce soon and we can get to +500k by 2030. It's up to 2026 imo

ozera202

Bro did we even have a bull market ? 95 % of alts didn’t even reach ATH, we been in a bear market since end of 2021 and ppl are tired of this POS asset class

ozera202

All alt coins are going lower than 2022-2023 , 95% of coins didn’t even reach ATH , crypto has no use being this guy and only reason it’s this high was due to chase hand out / COVID stimulus. Look at crypto in all these years it’s achieve fuck all use other than buy low sell high … I’m holding my coins and gambling my chances since I I’m already in red but after Thant I’m dumping this POS asset class. I hope the market pumps so I can pass my bags to some loser !!!

4th try to unsuccessfully break through 94k Meanwhile, every other asset still at ATH

EvidenceWorking

Huge gains after the 4 year cycle bottom below 20k in October of 2026. If it goes from 18k back to 80k that will be bullish for sure especially if it happens fast. Less so if it is gradual and leaks into 2027. In 2027 we should be back I the 90-115k range. I think by 2028 we will be back to ATH of 2025 at 126k or even surpass it 🤩

Zenitallin

for whoever wants to listen, allegedly the TOP is already in and we will have this second rally until Feb and then comes another down -as usual and as every single time. We are in the bear market and the next high is your next exit -if you are trading. There will be no mote ATH this year.

I plan to move 1,000,000 sats monthly until bitcoin reaches its next ATH then I will sell as a whole. In the mean time does small DCA transactions of account based crypto like ETH and SOL have any impacts if I move them daily/weekly to my hardware wallet?

Standard_Control_495

For 10x BTC from ATH, we would have to infuse more money than entire cap of global economics, so no, it won’t 10x from here.

VariatCA

No problem lol. October 10th had a lot of moving parts to it, and that aftermarket tweet was the match that lit the powder keg. Threatening embargos, export controls and 100% tariffs isn't exactly a threat the market took lightly. Crypto itself had even recovered by the end of the weekend, and was as high as ~116k for BTC by late-October as stocks reached ATH's. There was just a lot more to the story of the last few months of decline.

Striker40k

Why aren't you on the Bitcoin subreddits? This shit pops up in my feed because I have other crypto in my portfolio, as well as BTC. I'm just calling it like it is, market movers have solved the crypto algorithms and now make money on the swings, vs chasing ATH.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Yes, he promotes his Bullmania, but he’s also an entrepreneur, so why shouldn’t he advertise it? Of course he places sponsorships in his streams and videos, but what do you expect? Do you really think he wastes his time creating content every day for nothing, just to give you information because you’re not able to do your own research? Ivan is still one of the crypto YouTubers you can trust the most. He focuses on charts and trends, not like others who constantly scream, “AI COINS, GOOO! BUY AI COINS! OMG, IT’S GONNA BE AMAZING! LOOK AT GLOBAL M2, IT’S GONNA PUMP! BUY THE DIP!” His prediction that people should be cautious since BTC didn’t break the previous ATH decisively was on point. Yes, he does sponsorships, yes, he promotes Bullmania—but we all work for money, don’t we? Nothing is really free.

Bullish Q1 (not new ATH though) and then markets roll over for the rest of 2026-27

Appropriate-Talk-735

Im guessing we get new ATH within 2 months.

Glittering_Pick_9738

Reminds me of the last Uptober. First five days were awesome, on sixth day we reached ATH and then everything turned around. Classic post-ATH crash, some crabbing and then 10/10. Weird to think now that this brief crash to 102k was considered disaster at the time. Now if we reached 102k fear and greed index would be flashing green and major profit-taking would commence.  It's very hard to overlook the fact that no one wants to buy BTC while there are many folks out there waiting for a right price to exit. What could possibly go wrong?

Eh it's the original meme coin. It'll be around forever, even though it'll never return to ATH. Shib is more surprising, it was a knock off of doge and had its 15 minutes of fame in 2021 or whatever, why is it still top 20?

Jellydude25

OP, watch this video. It’ll help you out, not just short term but long term and will start to teach you the actual economics of trading & investing. We are likely seeing a final relief rally before we continue down to the last ATH. I could be wrong and this is are bear trap but the fundamentals haven’t changed and everything is still supporting a bear market in 2026. https://youtu.be/XNcqNO4kzys?si=WNDTuk8suCDXYoYB

Maybe ETH should try to beat its 2021 ATH lol

Hqjjciy6sJr

Adjusted for inflation, ETH hasn’t hit an ATH since 2021, so let’s not get too excited...

Narrow-Ad-6978

Idk if you noticed but eth didn’t even reach 5k this cycle barely passed its ATH…

babypho

How about let's start small and get back to ATH first before we make any bold claims.

Accomplished_Sea9064

Bull run to where? New ATH? Dead Cats Bounce? 200 DMA? 50 WMA? 100K? Any further analysis than just bull run? What data are you developing your thesis from?

Accomplished_Sea9064

I wonder if he’s referring to the anticipated dead cats bounce historically towards the 200wma around 107k or a “Super cycle with new ATH”? Very different predictions.

AnusMistakus

except most assets has been at ATH since 2019 it's better if you compare everything against gold and then you can say if it's over valued or not.

Kraehenhuette

Not everything is about Bitcoin. Silver has a marketcap of 4 Billion? Doesn't even matter. And it will surely dump, it always did. People who are starting to buy an asset near a new ATH are morons

spajn

You are hilarous... can you read technicals on the chart at all? Long term indicators are all pointing down.. sure we can maybe pump a little while but anything but a new all time high is nothing to get excited about... still 90% chance of new lows until we get ATH.

VariatCA

Not only that, but even if they bought back then and held for over 3 decades allllll the way to the year 2011, they had to watch as it finally regained its ATH again... for about a week, before dumping back down for another decade.

abigguynamedsugar

I have a feeling US government crypto holdings will include CRO soon. CDC has been a continuous donator to the US government. The US government is currently holding 98% BTC. Trump media already announced CRO reserves with average buy at $.15. I have a feeling that this year we will see something **ENORMOUS**. Perhaps after Blue Chip ETF approval. I think we could see US announcement to start accumulating CRO. Then we're going to surge close to ATH. Something big is brewing.

theduke9

ATH for the year bois

Pal3-Assignment

26% down from ATH. somebody is leaving and since it’s bear market season until 2028 it’s most likely smart money that is leaving so they are not left holding the bag

xdkil1ua

People who post these types of posts definitely bought at the ATH 🤣💯

user_name_checks_out

I would have to check, but my recollection is that the four year cycle predicts that we will drop below $40K toward the end of 2026. > So the only thing that would break your definition is a ATH this year? If we hit an ATH tomorrow, and then dropped to $39K before year end, I would argue that the cycle is still in force. > Or what if it doesn't dip lower than 70K or so? "Or so" is vague but surely if we stayed above $70K throughout 2026 then I would have to question my beliefs. For the record: Nobody knows what the future holds. For me, this question of the cycle is idle speculation. I am all in on bitcoin for the long term.

Aerocryptic

We’re approaching the key levels that will set the trend for the next few months. I’ll stick to my plan : sell a part of my bag when we’re there and let the rest ride until btc makes a new ATH whenever that happens

piggleii

ATH

Tajlechef

Exactly. What if it just ranges btw 80-90k all year, then what's next? lol They think only an ATH would further invalidate it rather than realizing that even staying in the 80-90k range would also invalidate it. Goal post moving abound from these folks.

So the only thing that would break your definition is a ATH this year? Or what if it doesn't dip lower than 70K or so?

I like collecting stamps and coins. Especially older ones because of the history they tell. My family calls it hoarding junk. But at a dull family dinner in 2019, my hobby kicked off a weird chain of events. A cousin asked as loudly as possible if I still collect trash or if I upgraded to collecting change at the post office. Everyone at the table got the reference and burst out laughing. It caught me off guard and was embarrassing, but I played it off by saying I invest, not collect. Just like with Pokemon cards. Bad idea, because I got grilled harder since my collection had common stuff you could find at a flea market or in your mailbox. Fast forward to Christmas of that year at that same cousin's place, my relatives from that side of the family tell me to open my gifts. First gift was a sweater. Second was a notebook. But under them was a fancy box, and inside was a dozen rare silver coins. Everything from Morgan dollars to Maria thalers and other iconic coins I'd only seen on Wikipedia. I burst out in excitement and went full on nerd mode telling the fam about those coins' history. In the next few weeks I noticed the silver coins were getting weird spots, so I tried amateur cleaning methods. Some days later, i check the coins again and realize the spots are actually rust that's corroding the coins. Up until that moment, I knew nothing about silver aside from it being pricey. While Googling for an answer, I realized my gift was actually a bunch of fake replicas made out of steel, because silver doesn't rust. I thought my relatives got scammed without knowing it, so when I managed to see that cousin during lockdown, I told them about it so that they avoid the store they got the coins from. The cousin laughed and said they knew those weren't silver. Turns out they ordered them off a knockoff online store. They said it would be funny to get me to see how absurd collecting anything is. But this was the lockdown era, so I spent it hyperfocused on learning everything about silver and what actually is investing in other metals. That also made me get familiar with crypto for the first time. When 2022 rolled in, silver's price began to go up. By this time I shifted my coin collecting hobby's focus on silver coins. I went on a crusade to get the real versions of the fakes my cousin got me, and eventually got them all. Crypto was having so many ups and downs that year as well, so I would work overtime and do more remote freelance gigs to always have cash ready to buy the dip. I was preparing for the day I'd spend Christmas with that cousin and the family to show how my hobby evolved into smart investing. Unfortunately in November I got into NFTs. And ICOs. Yeah life had another lesson to teach me apparently when crypto prices were low, and by Christmas of that year, my relatives asked me if I know what crypto is since it started getting mainstream. I had my 15 minutes of fame, but not before that same cousin said the pandemic made me upgrade from physical junk to digital junk. It was funny though and we all laughed genuinely about it. We all went our separate ways in life after that and rarely interacted. Until around Jan 2025 during the bull run after the elections when I saw an Instagram story by that same cousin about how everyone should buy a random token getting hyped up. It has never reached its ATH ever since. So this Christmas I invited him over to my gathering / dinner. It was interesting to catch up and bond over having similar experiences. Once it was time to open the presents, I told him I got him something too. He opened it and in it was one of those generic 5$ steel crypto coins with a dog on it, a Bitcoin sticker, and an ounce of silver. It'd been so many years since he mocked me for all of those things, but he got the reference, and we both had a massive laugh about it all. Ever since then we've gotten closer and now he buys silver and only DCAs reputable coins.

Richar_16

Exactly. Whats the point on holding if everyone sells as soon as price reaches previous ATH

JohanBlazer

The timing of 10/10 was too perfect to be an accident. Retail was completely leaning into the 'Q4 bull run' narrative after the $126k ATH, and market makers knew exactly where the liquidity was sitting. They pulled the plug, cleared $19 billion in longs in 24 hours, and basically treated the entire retail class as exit liquidity. Biggest rug of the century, disguised as a 'macro correction'

BerryImpossible412

Cant get 50% yearly returns without the volatility in the downward direction also. If anything this should teach you on your next buy, buy when its 20-30% off ATH’s. Much lower downside risk. But hold at any price and it’s going up forever.

Autoboots

I own Bitcoin among others, but I'm focused on altcoins; the famous altseason for utility coins like ATH and NCT is starting.

Autoboots

NCT y ATH.

NCT and ATH, and we triumphed in the short, medium, and long term.

Relaxxxin69

Goodluck trying to get back to that ATH too 🤣😂

Eth? Needs to hit $6500 only to double your money…. Chainkink?!!? Really? All the good news and it sat at $10. It’ll never hit its ATH of $54

Glittering_Pick_9738

I usually follow the advice of the Greek philosopher Kratos: keep your expectations low and you won't get disappointed. We have seen how quickly, even in ETF era, bitcoin can sink. A good rally at this point, unless it pumps to ATH, will still fall within dead cat bounce which happens during bear market in Q1 of the year after post-halving year. It wouldn't be enough to invalidate cycles and fear of another 80% crash which keeps market down.

user_name_checks_out

I'm a "believer". I agree that hitting an ATH pre halving was new. I'm not moving any goalposts, but I also don't think that that event is enough to declare the cycle dead. Let's talk again in a year.

OccasionalXerophile

And if not rejected, we are on to new ATH.

BankPsychological883

4 year cycle was invalidated when we hit ATH pre halving.

TheRadishBros

If we hit ATH in 2026, does that suggest the cycle is actually broken this time?

I bought at ATH, but I don’t care since I view this as a store of wealth rather than an investment. If you bought btc as an investment, that’s on you.

Remm_Unknown

You backed the best horse in the space, it is likely to go way above that in the future, DCA to lower your average and be patient. Imagine if you had bought alt coins at ATH or meme coins, you'd feel a lot worse.

AcostaJA

ATH

Bongressman

It hasn't broken any pattern. That's why. We will see 70k before we see an ATH again. Takes a while every bear for people to believe it's happening.

ABahRunt

Why is that dumb? Would you rather wait 3 years to make back 20%, or find something else that will give you 8% each year? Either way, you are just being tossed around by FOMO. Going all in while knowing nothing about what you are investing in is a beginner move, as is going all in at ATH.
