$BTC is pulling back…
Was $111,970 the real TOP?
I decoded BTC’s price psychology from $10 to $100K.
Here’s what’s really coming next👇🧵

1/ Bitcoin Milestone Map
Every Bitcoin bull run follows a pattern:
$10 → $100 → $1K → $10K → $100K
Each level isn’t just a number — it’s a psychological warzone.
Here's how BTC really behaves after crossing these milestones.
2/ Method to the Madness
I broke down each price epoch by:
- First time BTC hit the level
- Max gain after that
- Max crash
- How long it took to break out
What I found is wild and incredibly useful right now.
3/ $10 Wasn’t Just Cheap, It Was Insane
2011-2012:
- Dropped to $2 (-80%)
- Then exploded to $30 (+196%)
$BTC 's DNA of volatility was set early — cheap coins, wild swings, and no brakes.
4/ $100 Came and Went in a Flash
2013-2014:
- Fell to $250
- Rallied to $1,100
Early exchange access led to the fastest psychological level flip in $BTC history.
5/ $1K Death Valley
2013–2017 (1,216 days)
- Brutal drawdown to $250
- Sideways for years
- Topped at $20,000 (~20x)
This was the era of capitulation — Mt. Gox, Silk Road, and disbelief everywhere.
6/ $10K Built the Institutional Foundation
2017–2021 (971 days):
- Dropped to $3,693
- Peaked at $63,000
This cycle quietly laid the groundwork for ETFs, custody, and corporate Bitcoin.
7/ Patterns You Can’t Ignore
Here’s what emerged:
- Drawdowns stay savage, even with bigger caps
- Each cycle lasts longer than the last
- Price gains shrink with each level
Volatility compresses — but never vanishes.
8/ $100K Epoch: Calm Before the Storm?
Started: Dec 2024 and still going
- Dropped to $105,046(-6%)
- Peaked at $111,970
Compared to history? This is abnormally calm.
