What to know:
- Repeated “Bitcoin is dead” narratives have historically appeared near major cycle bottoms of the Bitcoin price.
- Liquidation data shows strong dominance of long position wipeouts impacting Bitcoin price trends.
- Long-term models still project deep corrections before a possible 2027–28 expansion in Bitcoin price.
Crypto Patel highlighted a recurring emotional cycle around Bitcoin price, where extreme fear appears during deep corrections, followed by strong recoveries.
He noted that in 2020, the phrase “Bitcoin is dead” emerged during weakness, yet the Bitcoin price later surged by nearly 1700%.
In 2022, a similar sentiment formed again during the bear market, after which the BTC price recovered by around 400% in the following cycle phase.

His latest view suggests that the same pattern may be forming again as the Bitcoin price enters another uncertain phase.
This cyclical behavior reflects how investor sentiment tends to collapse near major lows, only for Bitcoin’s price to rebuild strength over time as long-term participants re-enter the market.
Long-Term Bitcoin Price Cycle Structure and Market Behavior
A detailed look at weekly BTC perpetual futures data shows that BTC price moves in repeated expansion and contraction cycles. Historically, the Bitcoin price has fallen between 70% and 80% after major cycle peaks before recovering to new highs.
The 2021–2022 cycle followed this structure after the BTC price reached nearly $69,000, later dropping about 78% amid macro tightening and risk-off sentiment.
The chart suggests that each cycle forms a higher low base before the BTC price begins a new upward phase. Current projections indicate that after Bitcoin’s price surpassed $100,000, a potential correction of around 70% could bring it toward the $40,000–$50,000 zone.
This area is viewed as a possible accumulation region where long-term positioning in Bitcoin price may return before the next expansion phase begins.

CryptoQuant Signals Shift in Bitcoin Liquidation Pressure
CryptoQuant data highlights a major shift in derivatives activity affecting BTC price, with long liquidations heavily dominating recent market moves.

Earlier sessions also recorded large wipeouts, including $270.6 million on May 23, $216.9 million on May 27, and $227.7 million on May 28, all impacting Bitcoin price volatility.
Between May and early June, Bitcoin traded from $78,000 to $82,000, then dropped to the mid-$70,000s. The fall led to more long positions getting chopped up and sold off.
On June 1st, there was a major spike signaling a huge round of liquidations, eliminating lots of leveraged bets on Bitcoin. This implies that those liquidation processes continue to impact the cryptocurrency’s brief dips and overall mood in the market.
