You have had the opportunity to purchase Bitcoin at a minimum 40% discount for nearly three months, including a window to accumulate at a 50% discount. Now, as Bitcoin knocks on the door of $80,000 for the first time since the end of January, that window of extreme pessimism is beginning to close.
Are you still sidelined? If so, why? Is it greed, fear, or a lack of strategy?. Many investors are waiting for lower prices to secure a “perfect” entry, but history shows that bottoms are processes built on exhaustion, disbelief, and time, not single candles. In the long run, the difference between $75,000 and $60,000 may seem significant, but it is fundamentally no different from the choice between buying at $25,000 or $20,000 in previous cycles. Looking back, those who bought when Bitcoin reversed from its lows did not regret missing the absolute bottom; however, those who stayed sidelined waiting for one more retrace often missed a generational entry entirely.
We have seen this play out before. In 2022, many believed Bitcoin would fall below $12,000, and during the COVID crash, expectations for sub-$1,000 prices were widespread. Those who accepted the possibility of further downside and focused on long term upside are now sitting on generational positions. Conviction is built during periods of deep drawdown and macro uncertainty, not at euphoric highs.
Smart money recognises value when it is present and has the discipline to act while the majority remains frozen by uncertainty. As we have stressed, the most crucial requirement is a clear strategy. While many expect Bitcoin to fall back below $60,000, there is a possibility that the bottom is already behind us, as the market begins to transition from reactive to strategic capital.
Bitcoin has recently begun to ignore bearish news from the Middle East, such as the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, and has started to rally despite negative headlines. In a true bear market, any excuse to sell off is taken; yet now, we are seeing supply being absorbed rather than forced out. This shift suggests a regime change where Bitcoin is no longer behaving purely as a speculative risk asset but is emerging as a neutral settlement layer in global energy markets.
There is always a chance we could go lower, but the question remains: if Bitcoin has indeed bottomed, are you ready for it?.
