Every Christmas, the performance of Bitcoin is worth reviewing. The data over the years somewhat reflects the cyclical changes of the entire cryptocurrency market.
Flip through the ledger: in Christmas 2013, BTC was about $669, which was during a bull market year. By 2014, it dropped to $320, marking the first deep correction in the market. In 2015, it slowly recovered to $449, and in 2016, it rose to $899—just before the second halving, when market expectations began to build.
2017 was a watershed year, with BTC reaching around $14,000 before and after Christmas, the peak of the bull market. Then in 2018, it fell to $3,800, marking the bottom of the bear market with significant pain. But markets always rebound; in 2019, it rose back to $7,260, and by 2020, with institutional capital flooding in, it soared to $24,700 by Christmas.
2021 was a crazy year, with BTC hovering around $50,800 before and after Christmas, approaching all-time highs. In 2022, affected by the FTX explosion, it fell into the $16,800 bear market zone. In 2023, as the anticipation of Bitcoin spot ETFs heated up, it rebounded to $43,700. Entering 2024, BTC broke through $99,300 around Christmas, approaching the $100,000 mark.
By early 2025, the price retreated to $87,452. What the future holds, everyone is watching.

Damn, I was thinking about buying the dip when it was at 99,300 dollars, but I didn't dare to act. Now it's 87,452 haha.

It's the same old pattern again: around Christmas, BTC goes wild. From 669 in 2013 to 99,300 in 2024. The increase this time is truly incredible. No wonder those who didn't get in back then are crying.

Really? Looking at this cycle, it's truly amazing... I was still hesitating during the 2017 wave, and it shot straight up to 14k. Thinking back now, I really regret not acting earlier...

Bro, you didn't hold the 99,300 level either. This pullback hurts a bit.

Looking at this chart over the past ten years is like looking at my blood pressure records. Every time I want to sell and escape the top, I end up regretting it every time. I really didn't hold on during that 2017 wave.

99300 dropped to 87k, this pullback really hurts. Will it hit new highs again next year? It seems like we need to see the narrative after the halving.
