Bitcoin and crypto have already proven that six figures are achievable, with price surging past $100,000 and extending to a peak of $126,198 in 2025. However, the pullback that followed has since dragged Bitcoin down to around $78,267. Yet, rather than signaling the end of the cycle, one expert argues that this downtrend is part of a broader structure that points to a return above $100,000. Bitcoin’s $100,000 Crypto Cycle Crypto expert @TheRealPlanC recently stated in a tweet that the rally which carried Bitcoin beyond $100,000 did not occur under favorable economic conditions. Instead, he explained that it developed during a contractionary business cycle, a period that has historically constrained risk assets. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Playbook: Analyst Says These 4 Numbers Are Your Entire Week Even within that restrictive environment, Bitcoin advanced into six-figure territory, suggesting that underlying demand remained intact. As the expert notes, that strength was met with sustained selling. Long-term holders reduced exposure as prices climbed beyond $100,000, while traders guided by Bitcoin’s four-year cycle exited positions toward the latter part of 2025. The decline that followed was intense but not driven by market structure alone. A combination of disruptions, including an exchange-related incident, institutional trading concerns, and heightened global uncertainty, added further strain. Despite these pressures, Bitcoin’s drawdown settled at roughly 52% from peak to trough, a level that, in the analyst’s view, reflects a correction rather than a collapse. This sequence, as @TheRealPlanC frames it, recasts the $126,198 high. Instead of marking the end of the cycle, it begins to resemble the first peak in a market that has yet to fully play out. When Bitcoin Could Climb Back Above $100,000 With Bitcoin now trading well below its previous high, the focus shifts to timing its return above $100,000. The Crypto expert links this expectation to a shift in the broader economic backdrop. He points to recent data showing the business cycle moving above the neutral threshold for three consecutive months, a development that signals a transition toward expansion. This shift is significant because it contrasts with the restrictive conditions that defined the earlier rally, opening the door for renewed upside.

Large-scale accumulation, led by corporate buyers such as Michael Saylor, is reportedly absorbing between 10,000 and 30,000 Bitcoin each week. In the analyst’s view, this steady demand adds a structural layer of support as the market stabilizes. Within this context, @TheRealPlanC interprets the decline from $126,198 to current levels near $78,267 as a mid-cycle reset rather than a prolonged downturn. Based on this framework, the analyst expects Bitcoin to reclaim $100,000 as conditions improve. He ultimately places the next major peak in 2027, suggesting that a move back above six figures could occur before that point as momentum gradually rebuilds. This perspective positions the current phase as part of an extended cycle, where reclaiming $100,000 signals continuation rather than completion.

Dogecoin’s social momentum has fallen off sharply, and the rest of the market data suggests that the memecoin’s latest phase is being driven more by derivatives positioning than by any broad recovery in underlying network demand. That was the core message from Joao Wedson, founder and CEO of Alphractal, who wrote on X that “the number of social media interactions about Dogecoin has dropped drastically.” He added: “The truth is, only a few altcoins currently have strong engagement on social platforms. Interest usually increases much more during bull markets.” Dogecoin’s Underlying Data Looks Weak The social slowdown lines up with a broader cooling in on-chain activity. Daily active addresses were running at 37,197, down 38.35% on the day and 44.88% on the week, according to data by Alphractal. Daily transactions fell even harder, dropping to 26,189, down 64.30% day-over-day and 51.27% week-over-week. Adjusted on-chain transfer volume came in at $118.12 million, down 41.94% on the day and 41.25% on the week. Related Reading: Dogecoin ‘Launchpad’ Ready? Analysts Forecast Big DOGE Price Move Amid Volume Spike Taken together, those figures point to a network that is seeing less participation across the board. That matters because it undercuts the idea that DOGE is already in a clean demand-driven recovery. Alphractal’s AI explicitly frames the current setup as one where price action is “more sentiment- and positioning-driven than usage-driven.” There is, however, another side to the picture. Alphractal AI described DOGE derivatives as showing “a risk-on bullish regime” as open interest expanded to $1.099 billion and the long/short ratio climbed to 2.6433. In its words, that reflects “leveraged upside appetite.” But the same summary immediately flagged the catch: “The primary risk is crowded longs, with the Long/Short Ratio 2.6433 signalling imbalance and a conflict between elevated leverage and fragile directional conviction.” That tension runs through nearly all of the current DOGE data. On valuation, the asset looks depressed rather than overheated. DOGE is trading roughtly at $0.096 versus a realized price of $0.1383, leaving its MVRV ratio at 0.686. Net Unrealized Profit/Loss stood at -0.459, which Alphractal places in a capitulation zone. In plain market terms, the average holder remains underwater, and the network is still sitting in a loss-heavy regime more associated with late-stage drawdowns or early recovery phases than speculative euphoria. Related Reading: Binance Top Traders Quietly Build Dogecoin Long Exposure Short-term momentum, meanwhile, appears to be stabilizing but not breaking out. Alphractal’s AI says RSI is near neutral and MACD has turned bullish, suggesting that downside pressure has eased. Even so, DOGE remains below its long-term averages and “well under the 200-day baseline,” which keeps the broader structure restrained. Supply data adds another layer of caution. Circulating supply stands at 153.95 billion DOGE, while exchange reserves have risen to 27.19 billion DOGE, worth roughly $2.66 billion, after climbing 8.45% over the past seven days. Rising exchange balances are typically read as a sign that coins are moving onto venues where they can be sold, not evidence of a tightening supply backdrop. There are a few offsets. Alphractal AI notes a mildly positive whale-versus-retail delta, implying somewhat stronger participation from larger players, and a 365-day delta growth rate of +4.54, which suggests DOGE retains some longer-horizon structural resilience. But the composite market sentiment reading remains neutral, not decisively bullish. The result is a mixed but fairly coherent picture. DOGE may be in a valuation-recovery zone, and leveraged traders are clearly leaning for upside. Still, collapsing social engagement, falling address and transaction counts, weak transfer volume, and rising exchange reserves make it hard to argue that a durable spot-led expansion is already underway. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09603. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
