As someone who has been in the space for nearly a decade, I'm not sure Bitcoin recovers this time.
I had huge conviction in it all those years ago, but now it feels like Saylor and Trump have poisoned the well.
You're certainly not early anymore, and I'm not saying it'll never go up again, just that there are better opportunities out there in general.
I am pivoting to trading commodity futures full time and posting memes.

HYPE doesn't look to me like it has cycle-topped
But a correction/consolidation has been looking due ever since it crossed $60 in last few days

BTC has corrected to 0.618 fib of its entire 2022-2025 pump.
For reference, 2022 bear market bottom was at 0.786 fib and 2018 bear market bottom was a bit lower than 0.786 fib.
And for context, the multiple of pump during the 2020-21 bull market was more than 2024-25 bull market. And 2016-17 bull market multiple was more than 2020-21. Multiple means how hard it pumped from its cycle bottom and also compared to previous ATH.
So, if the case is to be made that the less hard the pump, the less harsh the correction, 0.618 fib is a good contender for cycle bottom for BTC.
Is this zone the bottom? Idk. Just stating few things here.
