Christmas Eve is quite an interesting day for Bitcoin price movements. Just look at the data from the past decade.

Back in 2013, Bitcoin was only $666 on Christmas Eve. A year later, it dropped to $323, during a bear market. In 2015, it rebounded to $455, though it was still hovering at a low level.

The real turning point came in 2016 when it broke the $900 mark, reaching $899. Then in 2017, during that bull run, the Christmas Eve price surged to $13,926, an incredible increase. But in 2018, it sharply corrected to $4,079.

The subsequent trends became more and more dramatic. In 2019, it rose back to $7,323, and in 2020, it skyrocketed to $23,736. In 2021, it hit a new all-time high, with the Christmas Eve price soaring to $50,822 — what does that mean? It was 70 times higher than 10 years ago.

In 2022, it fell into a trough, dropping to $16,822. But in 2023, it rebounded strongly to $43,665. Last year (2024), it was even more explosive, reaching $94,120 on Christmas Eve, and in 2025, it slightly adjusted to $87,340.

From 666 to 94,000, Bitcoin has experienced countless rollercoaster rides over these 12 years, but it has always been a legendary story in the world of digital assets.

LiquidatedAgain

· 8h ago

Once again, I got liquidated by the data. I didn't buy the dip in 2017, and in 2021 I went all-in at the high and was directly liquidated. Now looking at 94,000, I have no bullets left to add to my position. That being said, this trend is really a textbook example of risk control points. In 2018, when it dropped from 13,926 to 4,079, many people were wiped out because they didn't set proper liquidation prices. I was one of them... I never want to go through such a blood-loss day again. Damn it, if I had gone all-in when it was $666, I would be financially free today. Unfortunately, I was still trading spot back then and didn't understand what leverage and borrowing rates were.
