Where today sits in history
Descriptive context — not a forecast.

How far previous halving cycles went from today’s point — both up and down. Historical paths, not forecasts.

The single chart worth looking at right now.
Bitcoin is 48% off its cycle high — a correction worth putting in historical perspective.
Every cycle has drawn down hard mid-run — the 2016 and 2020 cycles both saw multiple 30%+ corrections on the way up. The chart overlays each cycle's drawdown at the same cycle day, so today's 48% sits against its true peers.
