Bitcoin will eventually break the diminishing cycles pattern. I ran the numbers on both the diminishing returns above each previous ATH and the progressively shallower bear market retracements since $BTC's first cycle. Following that trajectory forever simply doesn't make sense. If the pattern continued indefinitely, Bitcoin would eventually become an asset that barely moves, despite increasing global demand, ongoing monetary expansion + limited supply. At some point, the model has to break. My view is that the break comes through significantly higher bear market lows than historical mathematics would suggest. Once that happens, the entire diminishing returns model begins to fail as well, leading to stronger upside than the trend currently projects. Purely mathematically, the model would imply something like this... This cycle: 38K bottom Next cycle: 46K bottom Then: 55K bottom Then: 65K bottom That trajectory doesn't make much sense. It would also imply progressively smaller upside after each cycle, eventually leaving BTC with very little volatility. I think reality looks different. Instead of repeating the shallower bear market retracements forever, we could transition into 60% corrections, then 40-50%, with faster recoveries and stronger returns than the diminishing models imply. If that happens, timing cycle bottoms will become increasingly difficult, because the market will eventually stop respecting the historical diminishing factors that everyone expects. Hence why I believe it's always a good time to buy after a significant macro retrace, rather than trying to perfectly time the bottom. Many will get f*cked & miss the lows in doing so.View original on X ↗
