Bitcoin’s $83K pivot and the case for a cycle shift

In a September 22, 2026 post, a user argues that Bitcoin could revisit or fall below $83K without necessarily returning to a bear market. They compare it with the rebound after the 2022 bottom: Bitcoin broke a lower high near $21K, then traded below that level two months later while the cycle low held, according to their account. The distinction, they argue, is between revisiting a price level and rebuilding the sequence of lower highs and lower lows that defined the bear market.
