Historical outcome from this point in that cycle — not a prediction.

Similarity is a price-derived match — cycle day, drawdown from the peak, Mayer Multiple and gain since the halving — across the 2012, 2016 and 2020 cycles. Fear & Greed is shown where it existed (the index begins in 2018) but isn't used in the match. Historical context only. Past performance does not predict future results.

Required context

Historical outcomes are not predictive. Past performance does not predict future results. The 2024 cycle has a structural difference — US spot ETF demand — that did not exist in prior cycles. This is historical pattern context, not financial advice.
