Looking at Bitcoin's historical performance around Christmas, the data is quite interesting.

Starting from 2013, when it was still hovering around $666. That year, the crypto market was hot, but nowhere near as crazy as it is now. In 2014, it dropped to $323 — a taste of a bear market. Then it slowly recovered, reaching $455 in 2015. In 2016, it doubled to $899, and the market started to show some signs of life.

The turning point came — in 2017, it surged directly to $13,926, opening up many people's imaginations with this rally. Then in 2018, it halved to $4,079, another wave of correction. In 2019, it rebounded to $7,323, marking the start of a new cycle. In 2020, despite the pandemic, BTC's momentum was unstoppable, reaching $23,736.

2021 was even crazier, reaching $50,822 before Christmas, almost making history. In 2022, it fell to $16,822, another brutal bear market. In 2023, it recovered to $43,665, restoring market confidence. Entering 2024, BTC performed even stronger, surging to $94,120 before Christmas. In 2025, it corrected to $87,340 but remained high.

From 666 to over 90,000, over 12 years, Bitcoin has experienced multiple bull and bear cycles. Every number around Christmas records a chapter in the market's story.

Wow, 666 to over 90,000, this wave's range is incredible This data looks really satisfying, every time there's a sharp drop I buy the dip and lose money haha I missed out on the 2017 wave, and I'm still regretting it At this height of 90,000, it feels like we're about to start oscillating again... It's unbelievable, the market could still surge during the pandemic year, what is the market really thinking? Bull and bear switches so frequently, who can truly ride through the entire cycle? This pattern around Christmas seems to really exist, next time I must remember it

Hmm... That wave of 94120 really couldn't hold, I was completely stunned. I should have held a heavy position back in 2017, I regret it to death. Can 87340 still fall? I'm a bit panicked, buddy. From 666 to over 90,000, where is my principal? It's long gone. Every bear market I say to buy the dip, but I always end up standing at a high position, it's hilarious. Before Christmas, it all rose, is there some kind of pattern? Please advise. In 50822, I cut my losses, and I am still reflecting on it. In the year of the pandemic, 23736, I had not a single penny at that time, this is life.

From 666 skyrocketing to over 90,000, this wave of market movement is truly incredible, like a roller coaster Looking at these numbers, my mood fluctuates too. Back in 2021, I was still wondering if we could reach 100,000, and this year we almost did History repeats itself this way. Even the worst bear markets eventually rebound. Confidence really can change everything

Damn, from 666 to over 90,000, this is what you call turning the tables and singing a new song. If I had known to go all in back in 2017, I wouldn't still be here regretting it. Really, every Christmas is a hurdle, you never know when it might crash. This wave at 94,120 feels risky; we need to see how it develops. Back in 2021 at 50,822, it was probably crazy; friends all went all in for the bottom and got trapped until now. 2012, how many people made a fortune from that market rally? When the bull market comes, we wait; when the bear market hits, we buy the dip. This cycle repeats—this is the fate of the crypto world.
