$BTC So, what’s the conclusion?
If you believe that $58K was the cycle bottom, you are also implicitly assuming that Bitcoin’s upside impulse will continue losing roughly 80% of its strength every cycle.
But there’s a problem with that assumption.
The latest cycle already showed a different degree of compression: the impulse decreased by approximately 65.8%, not another ~80%.
So if you continue applying an automatic −80% reduction despite the latest structural change, the projected upside keeps collapsing:
713% → ~143% → ~29%
That would imply that the bull cycle after the next one produces only around 29% growth.
In other words, the $58K-bottom thesis combined with a fixed −80% impulse-compression model eventually leads to a structure where Bitcoin’s upside becomes increasingly negligible.
That’s why I don’t think you can simply take the historical ~80% compression and apply it mechanically to every future cycle.
The rate of compression itself is changing.
And that is the key point behind this entire analysis.
