BlackRock suddenly sold 22,900 Bitcoins, cashing out over $200 million in one go. Just before BTC broke through $88,000 and ahead of the Federal Reserve report release, this move does seem a bit "precise." Many are starting to worry: is the bull market story at the big bottom about to come to an end?

But there's an overlooked pattern worth pondering.

Looking back at Bitcoin's historical ledger, you'll find that it has never had two consecutive years of annual declines. Never. Consider these cycles: in 2014, it fell, then in 2015, it rebounded; in 2018, it plunged, then in 2019, it took off; the most extreme was 2022's tumble, which was nearly recovered by 2023 with a nearly 160% increase. The average annual gain over these years is as high as 126%.

The logic is simple: the harsher the correction, the more ferocious the subsequent rebound. If 2025 still ends in a decline, projecting forward based on this cycle, the target range for 2026 could be between $125,000 and $200,000.

So, BlackRock's recent sell-off? Rather than viewing it as bearish, it's more like short-term profit-taking. Institutional players get full and then exit—that's normal. The long-term bull narrative won't reverse just because of this noise.

The real big move is often hidden in times when bears and bulls are fighting fiercely, and the market is full of pessimism. Isn't that the current environment? Patience is the most valuable, and those who respect the cycle will be the ones laughing in the end.

Currently, continue to monitor BTC movements, Ethereum trends, and the interaction within the privacy coin ecosystem. The rhythm of the bull market is actually hidden within these fluctuations. What do you think about the upcoming trend?
