Bitcoin’s on-chain fundamentals are flashing a powerful signal that hasn’t 
appeared since the last major bull run. Network Growth has surged to extreme 
levels, mirroring the same conditions seen in early 2021, just before BTC 
launched its historic rally toward new all-time highs. At the same time, 
liquidity is rapidly expanding across the market, suggesting fresh capital is 
flowing in. Rising Network Adoption Strengthens Long-Term Bull Thesis The last 
time Bitcoin’s network growth and liquidity reached comparable extreme levels 
was in 2021, just ahead of BTC’s final surge to a new all-time high. 
Swissblock revealed on X that these metrics are now showing signs of recovery, 
signaling that a final bullish phase may be forming. Related Reading: Is The

current divergence and rising metrics alongside the declining price action 
suggest that investors are re-entering the market primarily to sell. The 
critical question is whether this renewed participation can persist long 
enough to allow the market to stabilize. If Network Growth and Liquidity 
continue to expand sustainably, they could provide the fundamental catalyst 
for one last upside push before the cycle concludes. FUD has intensified 
across social media following Bitcoin’s roughly 16% decline since January 28. 
Santiment has highlighted that after briefly dipping to around $74,600, BTC 
has rebounded toward $78,300, a move largely attributed to retail selling 
assets. This behavior is proof that markets move in the opposite direction of 
the crowd&#8217;s narrative. Social sentiment has turned sharply negative, with 
social data indicating this is the most bearish that retail has seen since the 
November 21st crash. Historically, periods of extreme negativity like this 
have been followed by a short-term relief rally, and early price action 
suggests this bounce is beginning to resemble the previous two post-FUD 
recoveries. How Next Cycle Leg Could Push Bitcoin To $104,000 Market expert 
and investor, The Milk Road, who previously nailed Bitcoin’s drop from its 
all-time highs, is now predicting a potential 40% gain starting immediately. 
According to Milk Road, BTC could still experience a correction ranging from 
-20% to -77% before the next major pivot, which is projected between November 
19 and February 2. A shallow 20 to 34% drop seems unlikely. Locally, it should 
be more than that but smaller than 77%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Historical

fell roughly -40% between its October 6, 2025, ATH and February 2, a move 
consistent with prior cycle behavior. Milk Road’s yearly cycle analysis 
signals a key pivot around February 2, after which BTC could stage a +40% 
rally, potentially reaching $104,000 between now and September. Featured image
