Here's where we stand on the bounce-back math:
$BTC needs +73% to hit new all-time highs
$MSTR needs +382% to reclaim its peak
$ETH needs +115% to make new highs
$BMNR needs +663% to get back to ATH
The spread tells the story. Bitcoin's closest to recovery, which makes sense—it's the benchmark. Ethereum's gap is wider, reflecting the alt underperformance we've seen all cycle.
But MicroStrategy and BMNR? Those gaps are massive. $MSTR at nearly 4x from here shows how much leverage and sentiment got priced in at the top. That's the double-edged sword of a leveraged BTC play—it rips harder on the way up, bleeds worse on the way down.
$BMNR needing 7x just to touch prior highs is a different animal entirely. That's either a busted story or the ultimate asymmetric setup if the thesis still holds.
The real question: which of these has the cleanest path back? Bitcoin's leading, but the others need serious fuel—either a macro shift, a catalyst, or both.
