Looking at Bitcoin's historical trends, you can see that whenever it falls below the yearly moving average, a bear market is almost certain. This time is no exception—since dropping below $100,000 on November 12, the technical signals have already been sent. To be honest, this has been over two months ago.



If we follow the four-year bull-bear cycle of Bitcoin, the current bear market may still be far from over. According to this pattern, the bottom range of this bear market should hover around $45,000. Of course, cycle theory is ultimately just historical experience, but if this pattern continues to hold, the next bull market's peak could target the $280,000 level.

Of course, the specific market movement still depends on the actual market response. But from a technical perspective, the yearly moving average line is indeed a critical watershed—breaking below it often signifies a shift in the medium-term trend.

Breaking the yearly line means accepting it. This wave is indeed a bit risky. 40,000 to 50,000 is the bottom? Then I need to hold on tighter... 280,000? Dreaming or is there really a chance? Let's see what the market's mood says.

If the yearly line is broken, you have to accept it; there's no room for negotiation. Can 45,000 really hold up? Feels uncertain. Cycle theory is mystical, but it has indeed proven reliable time and again. The number 280,000 is a bit tempting; whether it will still be around then is hard to say. Technical analysis speaks for itself; let's just watch and see.

Breaking the yearly line means a bear market is certain? I've heard this saying too many times. History may repeat, but it's never the same.

Breaking the yearly trend line means it's completely over. I'm tired of hearing this theory; it's always the same every time.

Does breaking the yearly line necessarily mean a bear market? I've been hearing this theory for two months, and what’s the result?

The yearly line is just a psychological defense line. Once it breaks, the mentality collapses. Saying that 45,000 is the bottom makes a lot of sense.

ngl the 4-year cycle thing is interesting but we're seeing novel consensus mechanisms emerge that could break historical patterns... have you considered how governance primitives might affect price discovery differently this time around?

Can 45,000 still drop this much? I'm damn already hopeless.

Does breaking the yearly line definitely mean a bear market? I've heard this logic for years, and it always sounds convincing, but I just don't know which time it will fail.

Breaking the yearly line is overused. 45,000? 280,000? The cycle theory is back again. Just listen and don't take it too seriously.
