Bitcoin lost 90k support, and then lost 80k last week.
Lets zoom in a little closer so you can see the drama.
I have begun drawing Day-Candles again, for perspective.
Zoom out to see Monthly candles, five months of downward trending post ATH.

Hindsight is 20/20, but what would you do
differently next cycle, based on what you have learned?
I did a better job of watching the price this year, but I spent too much money last year so I wasn't able to buy any BTC in 2025. 2026 is here now but I have to pay my credit card off. Some might say, Buy the Bitcoin! And once I thought maybe that would be smarter, but Interest is a Dragon.
I am grateful to have the time to pay for the things I bought. Yet every dollar owed is another scale on the back of a fierce fire-breathing creature that can and will consume everything, lest it be slayed.
If you buy in under $75k, you'll need 4 digits and want to hodl until at least 600k.
Is this the END of Bitcoin? Or will BTC hit 1 Million USD?

There are certain rules so it seems Mathematically Inevitable.
Already cheap, expect it to get even more cheap in the coming weeks.
If this is the actual breakdown of the market cycle, I could see us revisiting the $40K to $30K range. Hopefully not all at once, but I could see it breakdown to that level over time. Possibly over the next 3 years. We've seen long extended bear markets in the past.
Frankly, if we don't see a proper alt season, I'm more concerned about what happens to shitcoins. It's partially why I feel the bulls might step in and we see one more nice pump. Regardless, if this is the end of the cycle, there are going to be a lot of disappointed altcoin traders. Then again maybe this is how we get rid of all the useless coins that don't really serve a purpose and are only good for speculating.
