I made $32.8 million during the 2023–2025 bull run.

I also publicly called the top at $126K.

So if you bought $BTC at $70K thinking you caught the bottom…

you’re probably too early.

Real bottoms don’t happen in one move.

They form in 4 psychological stages — and we’re not through them yet.

1) PANIC + CAPITULATION

This is the violent selloff phase.

Everyone is scared. Forced liquidations. “Crypto is dead” everywhere.

It usually lasts 2–3 weeks.

We’ve seen this part.

2) ANGER (the bull trap phase)

After capitulation, price often pumps 20–50%.

People think: “That was the bottom, I missed it.”

They FOMO back in.

Then price dumps again and wipes them out.

This is the anger phase —

when traders stop trusting bounces

and start hating the market.

That’s where $BTC is likely heading now.

3) DEPRESSION

This is the worst part.

Price doesn’t crash hard — it just bleeds sideways and down.

Slow. Boring. Exhausting.

Strong holders start doubting.

Weak holders quit completely.

Then comes one final drop…

followed by a sharp bounce that actually matters.

That’s the real bottom.

The biggest mistake

Most people buy capitulation and think they nailed the bottom.

They didn’t.

Capitulation without depression = fake bottom.

That rule has never failed me.

What this means for $BTC

• The bounce from $60K → $70K = relief rally

Not confirmation of a bottom.

• If price runs to $80K–$90K

That’s likely a bull trap → risk of another leg below $65K

• If we see

$70K → $74K → slow fade to $65K–$60K

That’s the market entering the ANGER phase

The battle zone is now:

$60K – $74K

What happens there will decide the cycle low.

I’ve traded crypto since 2015

and watched this pattern repeat over and over.

The market doesn’t bottom when fear peaks.

It bottoms when hope dies.

And we’re not there yet.
