One Year Ago Today — Do You Remember?

April 9, 2025. Everyone said "this time it's really over." BTC $74,000. SPX -12% in two days.

That night, Trump announced a 90-day tariff deferral. Nasdaq +12%. Top 5 single-day gain in history.

Six months later, BTC hit $126,000. All-time high. +70% from that bottom.

One year later. BTC $71,089. Down -43.6% from ATH. The timeline is saying the same things again.

Same Script, Same Fear

"This time is really different."

That exact sentence was said one year ago. Most people who said it sold at the bottom.

I can't call the bottom this time either. Honestly.

But I know one thing. Every time "this time is different" appears, historically, it never actually was.

Save this and check back in 6 months.
