Prominent Trader: In the previous bull market, Bitcoin's largest correction before reaching its ATH was 22%; in this cycle, the correction magnitude likely should not exceed 15%.

BlockBeats news, September 24: Renowned trader Killa posted that in the previous crypto bull cycle, the maximum pullback before Bitcoin reached its all-time high was 20-22%, meaning Bitcoin never retraced more than 22% throughout its entire climb toward the ATH.

If the same proportional logic is applied to this cycle, a less severe bear market (this cycle's bear market saw a 54% decline, a notably weaker magnitude) should also result in less severe bull market pullbacks. This places this cycle's larger pullback range at approximately 10-15%.

Killa believes that from a mathematical standpoint, this means buying the dip with 4x leverage should be relatively safe throughout Bitcoin's entire move toward the $126,000 high, provided one does not go long at the top of each stage.

Killa, as a BTC-focused quantitative trader, previously predicted this bull market's peak in May 2025 and has over 200,000 followers on the X platform. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688 and shifted to long during the market-wide decline on June 5.
