Historically, Bitcoin has never produced two consecutive red yearly candles. Whenever a negative year appears, the year that follows has either stabilized or turned green.
That doesn’t guarantee outcomes. Markets don’t owe anyone repetition. But it does reveal something critical about market structure and incentives.
After a red year, sellers are typically exhausted. Long-term holders have already capitulated. Excess leverage has been flushed. At that stage, it doesn’t take much demand to move price— even modest inflows can shift the trend.
What usually follows isn’t an instant moon. It’s a transition phase. Volatility compresses. Sentiment remains skeptical. Price chops, then slowly grinds higher while most participants stay unconvinced.
That’s when positioning matters most. So if history rhymes, the base case isn’t another year of relentless pain. It’s a rebuilding year: higher lows, stronger structure, and early rotation happening beneath the surface—long before it becomes obvious.
Nothing is guaranteed. But betting on permanent weakness after a red year has never been the winning trade in Bitcoin’s history.
