Understanding historical drawdowns is crucial for risk management. Bitcoin has seen several major corrections ranging from 50% to 85%. The current cycle (2025-2026) is still in the drawdown phase.
| Cycle | Max Drawdown | Recovery Time | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013–2017 | -84.5% | ~720 days (~24 months) | Recovered |
| 2017–2020 | -84% | ~730 days (~24 months) | Recovered |
| 2021–2024 | -77% | ~480 days (~16 months) | Recovered |
| 2025–?? | -50% | ❌ Not recovered yet | Ongoing |
Historically, a 50% drop is often considered "mid-cycle noise" in a macro bull run. True bear markets usually bottom out after a 70-85% correction. Investors searching for an exit should be aware that the recovery phase (reclaiming the previous ATH) typically lasts 16-24 months.
