The hard truth very few people to none are talking about right now is that market psychology is leaning toward a cycle low as it typically does following the traditional four year cycle. This means we're currently witnessing a battle between expectations and reality.

The fact that everyone has been brainwashed into expecting a low in October tells me two things, just as I mentioned in my previous post.

First, everyone will be wrong. The cycle may be around four months ahead of schedule due to the fact that last year Q4 was bearish instead of bullish, so it is reasonable to argue that the cycle low could also arrive ahead of schedule—right here right now in early June. If that's the case, by the time we reach October, prices will be significantly higher than current levels.

The second possibility is that nobody will buy the low. Hypothetically speaking, if the downtrend continues to materialize and by August we are not above 73K, then the selloff will become much greater than anyone anticipates. Because the entire timeline has been conditioned to expect a low in October, the gap between expectations and reality could push Bitcoin into a much longer and deeper downtrend than most people are prepared for. In that scenario, we may not have one final low, but two additional lows before the "low in october" extending into late 2027.

I'm trying to remain as unbiased as possible, even though I currently lean toward a bullish summer rally where Bitcoin could recover to 86K–90K or higher. The reason is that this level—around the 2021 cycle highs—is effectively the midpoint between two outcomes: a prolonged sideways reaccumulation at high levels or a prolonged downtrend that very few people are prepared for.

Either way I am 100% convinced that nobody will buy the "perfect" low based on the four-year cycle. That's because the low will either arrive ahead of schedule or much later than people expect.

This is the battle right now: expectations (a low in October) versus reality (either a low ahead of schedule or a delayed low that drags the market into late 2027).

To me the playbook is simple, as I've mentioned before. Everything comes down to 73K. Following the current trend structure, Bitcoin should not make a new high above 82K unless it first reclaims and holds 73K. Otherwise 73K could become the next lower high, allowing the trend to continue printing lower highs and lower lows, pushing the cycle bottom further out than the October low that many people and their favorite cycle mentors are expecting.

Therefore, I remain optimistic for now because I believe the bulls can save the situation, print a cycle low ahead of schedule, and have Bitcoin trading above current prices by October. The key condition remains the same: reclaim and hold 73K so that the trend doesn't continue with lower lows and lower highs. If that happens, we can reasonably expect a summer rally to materialize and with Bitcoin back toward 90K by August.

P.S. You don't need to be bearish or bullish. You simply need to understand why this level is so important.

This area was the 2021 cycle top, which was later reclaimed after both Germany's capitulation and the BOJ shock where at that point Bitcoin confirmed that the structure had flipped and was ready to move higher.

Now that we're back at the same level, bulls must once again prove why a macro sideways reaccumulation is the more likely outcome, as Bitcoin can experience only a 50% correction while still maintaining its image as a store of value. The alternative would be a traditional 70–80% drawdown during which Bitcoin would likely be declared a dead asset once again—except this time with ETFs.

Another reason this level matters is volume and volatility. Losing this level would likely result in declining volume over time where we could still see temporary spikes, perhaps around October as retail investors apply buying pressure because they've been conditioned to expect a major low then. However that demand may ultimately prove irrelevant because institutions do not operate according to retail cycle expectations and can extend market structures for much longer than most people anticipate.

As for the 50K and 40K bottom callers, I consider those targets are largely irrelevant, because once again "if we get there" many of those people will likely buy what they believe is the bottom only to watch the market continue lower afterward.

For the bulls, the situation is much simpler, this is the level to defend with a reclaim of 73K that's all.

Expectations vs Reality nobody will buy the low.
