The market is bleeding, portfolios are red, and the "Crypto is Dead" headlines are back. With Bitcoin oscillating around the $60K–$67K zone and altcoins facing brutal 30–50% drawdowns, the atmosphere is heavy with fear. But if you zoom out, you’ll see this isn't a collapse—it's structure.

The Three-Cycle Blueprint
Looking at the long-term chart, Bitcoin’s journey has never been a straight line. It moves in massive, rhythmic waves:
* The $21K Cycle: Panic felt terminal, yet it was the floor for the next leg.
* The $69K Cycle: Euphoria turned to "crypto winter," shaking out everyone but the believers.
* The $126K Cycle: We recently touched new heights before this heavy correction began.
Each cycle follows the same script: Expansion ➔ Euphoria ➔ Correction ➔ Accumulation. Right now, we are grinding through the "Pain Phase"—the transition between correction and the next accumulation.
Why the Bleeding is "Normal"
Altcoins are currently suffering because, in times of uncertainty, liquidity flees back to "safety" or exits the market entirely. This happened in 2018 and 2022. Yet, every single time, the base trendline has moved higher. We aren't just seeing price action; we are seeing a global adoption curve backed by institutions, ETFs, and strategic reserves.
2026: The Next Expansion?
History suggests that those who survive the 50% drawdowns are the ones who reap the 500% gains. The "Weak Hands" are being liquidated, and the "Smart Money" is studying.
Bitcoin at $60K feels scary today because it dropped from $126K. But remember: just a few years ago, $60K was the "impossible" dream. Perspective is your greatest asset.
The Bottom Line: The question isn’t whether Bitcoin will survive—it’s whether you will have the discipline to still be here when the next expansion begins in 2026.

Everyone is panicking. 📉 Bitcoin is down ~45% from the $126k ATH. The "Bubble Implosion" narrative is everywhere.
But are you watching the real data?
Today is Feb 18, 2026. The FOMC Minutes drop in a few hours. 🕒 While retail is selling in fear of the $60k breakdown, institutions are quietly looking at two things:
1️⃣ The "Clarity Act": Treasury Sec. Bessent is pushing this for Spring. This is the regulatory green light we've waited 10 years for.
2️⃣ Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh: A policy shift is coming.
The Setup:
We are sitting on critical support. $68,000 isn't just a number; it's the line in the sand before the next leg up. Remember 2024? The fear before the pump is always the loudest.
👇 My Strategy:
I’m NOT selling here. I’m layering bids on $BTC and watching $PEPE (which just broke its downtrend).
Question for you: Are we visiting $58k to flush the leverage, or is this the absolute bottom? Drop your price prediction below! 👇
