Wait for it… $BTC
You’re about to see charts everywhere comparing 2011, 2014, 2018, and 2022, all aiming for the same kind of retracements.
Same thing played out at 16K last cycle, and it’ll play out again this time.
People will keep lowering their targets, right up until they get front ran.
Bitcoin erased a full year of gains… is the story over, or is the truth just beginning?
Bitcoin has returned today to the same level it was at when Trump took office in 2025 meaning all of the year’s gains have completely vanished.
This is not just a price move… it’s an important lesson in understanding the nature of digital assets.
Many people assume that pro-crypto policies automatically mean higher prices. Reality is far more complex. Yes, Trump is considered supportive of the crypto market from a regulatory and legislative standpoint, but markets don’t move on slogans… they move on liquidity and economic stability.
It’s like a parent who deeply loves their child but fails to provide enough food. The outcome is obvious, regardless of good intentions.
To this day, Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to macroeconomic volatility. When global economic uncertainty rises, investors tend to flee high-risk assets — and that’s when Bitcoin comes under strong selling pressure.
Meanwhile, gold once again proves itself as the traditional safe haven during turbulent times, posting strong gains over the same period and benefiting from its historical role as a hedge against volatility.
But the picture shouldn’t be read superficially…
In the long run, Bitcoin remains one of the most important hedges against the erosion of fiat currencies, especially amid expanding global monetary policies. In the short term, however, it still behaves like a speculative asset, highly influenced by fear cycles and global liquidity conditions.
The real question is not: Is Bitcoin a strong or weak asset?
The more important question is: Does the investor understand the time frame they are operating in when investing in Bitcoin?
The difference between a successful investor and an average one… is understanding the nature of the asset before buying it.
